Come! Smell the insanity of Deval Patrick's Massachusetts!

[FlingWingFlyer]

I wonder if these jackasses had one of these fiascos for their buddies Osama bin Laden and the rest of the morons in Al Qaeda.
Probably not.

[Libertarianize the GOP]

Occasionally I wish Bush was half as evil as some of these people claim, then like President Wilson he would lock up some of these morons.

[Reagan Man]

Can’t wait to see Lawrence Velvel call Bin Laden, Ahmadinejad, Chavez and Castro as witnesses for the prosecution. LOL

[Ben Reyes]

“Mama, where do lawyer jokes come from?”

[max americana]

I wouldn;t take this seriously.

They’re just a bunch of liberal PUSSIES who couldn;t fight their way out of wet paper bag.

Passing the death penalty sentence prior to the trial?

Sounds like BDS to me!

[SE Mom]

Are we allowed to quote from the article? I’m going to- if the mods need to delete it- no problem.

The Massachusetts School of Law at Andover was established in 1988 to provide an affordable, quality legal education to minorities, immigrants and students from low-income households that might otherwise be denied the opportunity to obtain a legal education and practice law. Its founder, Dean Velvel, has been honored by the National Law Journal and cited in various publications for his contributions to the reform of legal education. #

FReepers, If you or anyone you know has anything to do with funding, granting, donating to this evil travesty - cancel, pull, yank such funding immediately.

I am glad to see Bush reaping the harvest of his new tone in reaching across to socialists and Marxists in DC.

maybe the next RINO will move more to the right.

Bush’s socialist agenda and kissing the butts of fellow socialists is getting just what he deserves.

[xcamel]

Duh, and a half..

Perfect! ;-))

[ImpBill]

The Mass. School of Law should be stripped of all Federal Grants and funding.

Once again what folks can get away with when we don't have a Congressional Declaration of War.

These citizens don't deserve the rights our brave sons and daughters bleed and die to secure for them!

[2 Kool 2 Be 4-Gotten]

Interesting Times.

[I see my hands]

"They’re just a bunch of liberal PUSSIES who couldn't fight their way out of wet paper bag"

Who have manage to undermine our national security as a response to 9/11 and are poised to take over our government.

It is the right who are the pussies, QED.

[max americana]

Let’s start the 2nd CIVIL WAR and we’ll find out for sure who are the real pussies.

[Brilliant]

Massachusetts School of Law at Andover.

Makes sense.

Here's a comment from the site:

It is war. We need to go with anything, and we need to attack them all. Media, corporations, military, congress. We need to attack them all, with a wide variet of actions all the time.

They are getting their students trained in how to conduct political show trials.

[FlingWingFlyer]

I lived the first ten years of my life in Billerica, MA so I understand. Everyday I thank the Lord my parents had the good sense to move our family to Arizona.

Take a peek. Done and done.

Lawrence Velvel

Judge Alito’s major shortcoming, according to Velvel, is his fealty to the law and the Constitution rather than what Velvel called the “dictates of simple humanity.”

Velvel devotes most of his time to leftist Internet agitprop, especially for the Counterpunch web magazine run by Alexander Cockburn, which served as one source of his recent smear campaign against Judge Alito. Another was the paleolibertarian website LewRockwell.com, where Velvel is a regular columnist.

Writing in Counterpunch, Velvel raged that the Bush administration posed a far greater threat than terrorism to American national security:

For instance, The Long Term View, a pseudo-academic leftist political magazine published by the Massachusetts School of Law, devoted its Spring 2004 issue to the question, "Why We Seek War?” The editor, none other than Lawrence R. Velvel, asserted: "The United States is a nation which seeks war. We better change or we may end up destroying ourselves and perhaps even the world." Velvel then provided twenty-one reasons why Americans seek war. Reason number six: "Government is incompetent and its leaders stupid." Among other topics, Long Term View has devoted its space to denouncing the "thugs who run the government," (with a special interview with Howard Zinn), plus an issue devoted to ending all commercial and governmental secrecy about anything, denunciation of American war mongering (with Howard Zinn publishing his opinion that the US is an illegal occupier and not a liberator), and one issue devoted to the idea that all "Bigness is Badness." Velvel further claims that President Bush is guilty of at least two impeachable crimes, his "torturing" terrorists and "unlawful electronic surveillance."

In Velvel’s world, even the New York Times is complicit in the crimes of the hated Bush administration. Thus Velvel blames the Times, and evidently also Jews, for the re-election of George Bush:

That 'news' site is full of op-eds written by wackos with crayons.

See what I mean...

[DLfromthedesert]

I wonder if Bob Barr agrees with this tactic.

[SandRat]

Sounds just like Cong. “Mullah Omar” Murtha towards our Marines to me.

The Massachusetts School of Law has failed to win accreditation by the American Bar Association, but is fully accredited by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC).In 1990, the Massachusetts Board of Regents of Higher Education authorized MSL to grant the Juris Doctor degree. MSL subsequently applied for American Bar Association approval while filing an action in Federal Court in Philadelphia challenging some of the ABA’s accreditation standards, arguing that those standards are of questionable educational value, violate antitrust laws, and needlessly increase tuition costs. MSL refused to comply with these standards, and the ABA refused to approve the school.

The school continues to criticize ABA standards that it fails to meet, and encourage the Department of Education to strip the ABA of its authority over other law schools. On December 4, 2006, Massachusetts School of Law officials asked a Department of Education committee to limit the authority of the ABA, complaining that the ABA’s process was harmful to minorities and low-income students and needlessly drove up the cost of legal education.

******

Mass. School of Law has not yet made it into US News and World Report fourth and last tier, as the school cannot meet the ABA’s accreditation standards. But Mass. School of Law has already made itself famous by opposing Justice Samuel Alito’s nomination to the Supreme Court (he was “too intellectual”, wrote the learned Dean Velvel: Roberts and Alito are “liars,” he sniffed, concluding with the erudite, “Excuse my French, but what bullshit. What absolute bullshit.... If Alito proves, as threatened, to support the actions of these dangerous and incompetent clowns in the Administration from Bush on down, then all the hoped for Democratic gains of 2006 — even if they were to occur despite the fact that many persons will refuse to give otherwise available support to the Democrats because of extreme distaste for the Democrats, obvious cowardice — all the hoped for Democrat gains of 2006 will not make one goddamned bit of difference.”).

It’s a non-accredited joke of a law school formed in 1988. People who can’t get in anywhere else go there. They’re just trying to get attention. One would assume that the so-called journalist who wrote the piece would have thought that the school’s continued failure to win ABA accreditation would be sufficiently relevant to report in the story.

[raybbr]

"This is not intended to be a mere discussion of violations of law that have occurred," said convener Lawrence Velvel, dean and cofounder of the school. "It is, rather, intended to be a planning conference at which plans will be laid and necessary organizational structures set up, to pursue the guilty as long as necessary and, if need be, to the ends of the Earth."

Bet they never said that about Obama, Saddam or any other terrorist!

[raynearhood]

So, I flipped through some of the articles on the OpEd News site. More conspiracy theorists and America haters than DU. These cats are nuts. Wow! And they feign themselves intelligent. Sad, sad cult of crazies.

[metesky]

The Massachusetts School of Law has failed to win accreditation by the American Bar Association, but is fully accredited by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC).

Twenty year old school founded during the height of the Dukakis hysteria over the "Massachusetts Miricle". Real lawyers don't appear to think much of it.

[metesky]

Miracle. Hurumph...

[tflabo]

These citizens don't deserve the rights our brave sons and daughters bleed and die to secure for them!

No blood for traitors!

[airborne]

It embarrasses me to know that my fellow Pennsylvanians could continue to reelect Murtha.

[lilylangtree]

Bubba Clintoon is the bloody person that needs to be on trial. He bombed 7 countries in 8 years of office. And the MA elite don’t think that’s worth a trial. AAAAArrrrggghhhh!!!!!

[Tzimisce]

...these people will one day be in charge. :D

Keep voting Democrat..
