Those at Utah St. responsible for inviting Glover likely share his virulent anti-American sentiments.

What would you expect from a racist, US hating idiot? He has shown his true colors (not really black). He can kiss my hindside for all I care.

How much did Utah State pay him? If Palin was speaking there’d be protesters and media digging into her personal finances.

“He has shown his true colors (not really black).”

He’s really Red. If he is Black on the outside and Red on the inside, what does that make him? (If he was White on the inside he would be an Uncle Tom or an Oreo.) An Uncle Lenin?

"He has enjoyed the opportunity our country has given him then refuses to honor it?"

BUT Danny isn't an American.

He's an African-American ( which pretty much means he's an African who HATES America and all she stands for).

Anytime I see this communist pop up on my tv I can’t hit the station-changer fast enough.

Same thing with Sean Penn, and that jackel Alex Baldwin.

Ultimately, Glover was rewarded with a standing ovation by the majority of the large crowd.

He said he had been booed before. "People have problems sometimes with what I believe and who I talk to," Glover told The Tribune

What a shame, I used to like the guy (for his acting, didn't know his political views) and I liked Mel Gibson (again for his acting but he's disappointed too with wife and 6 kids and then his adultery). They've both gone downhill.

May sound crazy but you live in these dens of iniquity - DC and Hollywood and otherwise decent folks are brought down to that level. You hang with the dogs, you get the fleas.

Who is Rocky Anderson? Sorry, but I don’t recognize the name. But I’d guess Anderson is a lefty.

I didn't know much about him either other than as an actor. He has activist roots and after all of his success he still can't separate himself from them.

Danny Glover was the son of postal workers. The young Danny likely imbibed his taste for political activism from his parents, both of whom were active members of the NAACP. The family moved to San Francisco, where Danny attended George Washington High School. While a teenager, Danny developed epilepsy, which he learned to control by a form of self-hypnosis. (The epileptic seizures stopped after the age of 35.)

While matriculating at SFSC, Glover was a member of the Black Students Union, a group that was instrumental in brining an ethnic studies department to the college by staging a five-month-long student strike. The establishment of the Ethnic Studies Department made SFSC the first American university which such an academic program. Glover has remained committed to progressive causes, and is not afraid, as an actor, to appear in film or stage in works that promote a progressive agenda.

After graduating from high school, Glover attended American University in Washington, D.C. before returning to the Bay Area to attend San Francisco State College (now University). It was at SFSC that he met the woman who was to become his wife, Asake Bomani. The couple were married in 1975, and Glover got a job as a San Francisco city government bureaucrat.

Glover is a first class hypocrite! Ignore him and let him burn up inside with his hate.

If he could only have put all that energy to good use.

Personally, I'm SICK of any thing/person/organization that says any of us are different. There's not NAAWP, there's no WET tv, there's no WHITE history month, and there's no America WHITE College Fund. This is all CRAP! These are perfect examples of the "SOFT BIGOTRY OF LOW EXPECTATIONS."

What I love about commie and socialist scum like Glover is do they really think someone like Obama, a minority esp. a mixed race person would ever become the leader there?

Annoying as his behavior is, Danny Glover is not the problem but the symptom. The problem, which is severe and widespread, is that American universities have abandoned their responsibility to transmit American values and to provide a truly liberal education for students. That a university would even think of asking someone like Danny Glover to speak is another sign, one among many, that higher education in America today has become diseased. American universities are on the whole far deadlier enemies of America than any foreign adversary could ever be. True national security begins or fails not at the border but in the universities where ideas and values hostile to America are routinely promulgated by ideologues masquerading as educators. These are the people responsible for giving the podium to a Danny Glover and others like him.

Actually I didn’t know the fellow was a black man, and I don’t know what he has done that would earn him an honorary degree. Couldn’t they book Johnny Cash’s grandaughter or Sarah Palin? Somebody we’ve heard of?

Typical black racist, a coward. Too afraid to put his ass where his mouth is and move to a black nation in Africa. He hates this one, thinks is is horrible because it has white people in it, so why doesn’t he move his black ass to Africa and be in a primarily black nation?

Oh, that’s right. He made millions of dollars here in America, lives the life of a wealthy man, and enjoys things his ancestors did not, yet, he claims America keeps black men down.

he is the true definition of a racist and a bigot.

Why should Glover put his hand over his heart? Obama doesn’t even put his hand over his heart during the Pledge of Allegiance — and he’s the leader of our country.

Makes you want to puke to see America dying a slow death.
