...Mumia Abu-Jamal's recorded remarks will be played Sunday at [Goddard College's] commencement, along with a video about him.

Bob Kenny, the school's interim president, is quoted on the website as saying the graduates' selection of Abu-Jamal reflects "their freedom to engage and think radically and critically in a world that often sets up barriers to do just that."

What can one say? We are truly, existentially, screwed by our own progeny.

Once again cop-killer Mumia Abu-Jamal is invited to deliver a commencement address. This is in the wake of people like SCOTUS Justice Clarence Thomas, Condoleezza Rice, David Horowitz and several other non-Leftist commencement speakers being disinvited.

Was Charlie Manson unable to get out of prison for the 'honor'?

Good one. I was thinking of Charles Manson... but more recent killers could be sooooo much more offensive.

Maybe Nolan could behead a student to 'liven up' the liberal elites... I hear they're into snuff films...

They would have gotten Hitler. But he wasn’t available.

I have noticed that too. When people “push the envelope” it is always to the left and never to the right.

“What happened, Bin Laden not available?”

I think University of Berkeley signed him up first. You snooze, you lose.

I’ll admit that I’m one of the people who wants to see a couple of strong men hold Mumia by the ankles off the top of the new WTC in New York. And while I’m seeing this I’ll be screaming, “FREE MUMIA! FREE MUMIA! FREE MUMIA!”

Goddard has been a Marxist cesspool since the 70’s. A lot of Institute for Policy Studies Marxists were in their programs as instructors, along with other traditional communists and extremists.

There was a program known as the Goddard-Cambridge School which had many of these Marxists as instructors. If I had a copy of their catalog here in the office, I would be able to list the reds who were in it, but unfortunately I don’t so I’m winging it.

Trust me, this school is way beyond RED.

I would not hire anyone from a college that chose him for a speaker. There are, no doubt, some decent students, but I would not be willing to play those odds.

Fortunately, Obama is powerless to pardon anyone incarcerated under state charges.

Powerless? He's powerless to enact laws and change laws without Congress, but that hasn't stopped the sockpuppet. What makes you think that little local or state laws would stop him? . . . . our Constitution hasn't stopped the sockpuppet.
