BYU students who were present and with whom I spoke state that the BYU student body and faculty did not cheer such remarks and that the number of the brain-dead ho gave Hairy the Red a "standing ovation" was quite small. The Deseret News is an increasingly liberal rag containing a few editorial staffers who have trips to the woodshed and unemployment office in their future, having exercised their free agency in a foolish and destructive manner...

Your take on the BYU response (first sentence) isn't really all that much different than what I said the Deseret News reported in post #41: At the end of his speech, Reid earned a standing ovation from a small percentage of the crowd and applause from the rest.

So don't try to write off BYU's sanctioning of Reid just because both your sources & Deseret's sources agree that a "small" percentage of students rose to provide a standing ovation.

The fact is that probably for every Mormon student who gave a standing ovation, 19 more were applauding Harry Reid. And ya wanna explain exactly why BYU is providing a indoctrination platform to anti-Christ labeling politicians like Harry Reid? (I don't suppose BYU takes no responsibility for that, either)

Good question, my FRiend, but already answered in my post 68 above:

"I expect that the Church leadership used this as a "focus group" to confirm what many have perceived as the sad, sheep-like state of too many LDS youngsters who have been educated in the liberal cesspools that we refer to as "public schools" and whose admiration of Dirty Hairy is about as much as they are able to muster by way of youthful rebellion.

I also expect that there soon will be a house-cleaning at the increasing liberal, albeit Church-owned, Deseret News and at BYU itself.

I take the Deseret News account with a grain of salt, having already heard conflicting reports from several BYU students concerning the level of enthusiasm and worship accorded to Dirty Harry the Red as reported by the Deserted News.

The Church cleaned out its KSL radio and television operation a few years back after it started feeling its liberal oats and its married news director was excommunicated after having an affair with a subordinate who also was married.

Finally, Dirty Harry fell into a neat little trap when he dissed the memory of Ezra Taft Benson and other revered past and present Church leaders and smeared many things that even relatively sane Democrats value.

I suspect that his sizeable base of "Mormon" and a lot of non-LDS voters in "Nirvada" is now swirling down the porcelain throne as we speak.

To paraphrase Reid's intellectual and moral superior, the fictional Forrest Gump, "Effrontery, arrogance, apostacy, and rudeness to one's host is as effrontery, arrogance, apostacy, and rudeness to one's host.

Good show, Hairy. You just shot yourself in the family jewels, such as they are..."

Do you think I have called this correctly? Honest and friendly question....

And ya wanna explain exactly why BYU is providing a indoctrination platform to anti-Christ labeling politicians like Harry Reid?

At least it wasn't Imadimnutjob!

FWIW, the Marriott Center seats 25,000 and usually is filled during events which take place therein.

Dirty Harry's flock of some 4,000 curious or liberal folks does not exactly constitute a ringing endorsement of him by the BYU family...
