I have no regard for this school. I've always known it to be a bastion of liberal Jewish opinion. By the way, the Islams are most interested in killing Jews when and if they every get their way. The stupid thing here is that the school invited her in the first place. Her crusade to protect women from religious extremists and her issues with Islam have been well known for year.

The outrageousness of this story is the only thing that helped it get on the national news. As far as impact it has, or will have, the answer is zero. That shithole of a school will attract more lunatics because of this. They can have them.

"I have no regard for this school. I've always known it to be a bastion of liberal Jewish opinion."

That's pretty much the same sentiment from my Jewish friends, it would be comparable to us at Antioch or Oberlin.

She will give an interview tonight on Fox with Megyn Kelly --- should be good

I've never even heard of Brandeis University.

Hope this helps.

Total assumption. One example is student athletes who have AM workouts before school may wear sweatpants/warmups to class just because they don't have time to go home and get changed.
Has nothing to do with not understanding the proper apparel for the workforce.

It's a school for Jews and its terrible. My roommate went to Brandeis and he's currently unemployed(graduated 6 years ago) and is supported entirely by mommy and daddy. He's also insanely liberal.

Neither have I. And from the comments of the people who have actually heard of it, it seems like a small-time weak sister of your more well-known "liberal elite" schools.

In other words, it's a complete non-entity that only gets brought up in anything resembling casual conversation when politards of the exact opposite side of the coin feel like making a stupid point that only they care about. RE: thread starter.

Or, as a primer:

LIBERAL ELITES: Overly-educated left-wing buffoons who are detached from the real world, but feel they can arrogantly talk down to anyone who disagrees with their mind-boggling stupidity.

TEA PARTY: Uneducated right-wing buffoons who are detached from the real world, but feel that they can yell the loudest over everyone else who disagrees with their mind-boggling stupidity.

You can see why both sides don't particularly like each other.

The Tea Party is basically comprised of regular folks who simply value individual liberty and promote fiscal sanity.

When they are labeled "uneducated buffoons", it gives you a real sense of the acumen of the name caller(s), and the sorry state of the nation.

Yep. Name callers.

Eh, the tea party as just as nuts as the liberals, just the complete other direction.

A sentiment felt by everyone except (a) the hardcore libs, who'd be insulted by the comparison because they're too myopic to see truth and (b) the tea partiers, who think they're the shit (ie: QQuaker's post) because they're too myopic to see truth.

I believe that huge majority of the country are neither Tea party nor whacko liberal. It's just that those two groups are the squeaky wheels. They're both delusional and completely out of touch.

The far-left hard core liberals (which is not the mainstream) are fringe wackadoodles who wrongly believe that government is the solution to all of society's problems.

The teabaggers are fringe wackadoodles who wrongly believe that government isn't part of the solution to any societal problem.

They both make the most noise and get the most attention because of their tactics of making anyone not directly on their side "the enemy". It's sort of sad, when you have a country with as many superficial divisions as we do, when people make their poli-lives about being as mindlessly divisive as possible to drum up support.

You know what would be nice?

If this website had a forum for politics. Could be an endless circle jerk for you guys.

or you could start a topic of interest to you and skip over this one.

This did interest me, at the beginning. Then all the political BS/Name calling started.

Guess I should've expected that with the topic starter though.

Why? It is pretty evident that the school is just trying to drum up publicity for itself by making some outlandish move.
