Coming-out day for conservatives



<snip>
BOULDER, Colo. — A few years ago, Jeff O'Holleran said he began to realize that he was different from the other boys he knew.
"I started having certain thoughts," said Mr. O'Holleran, 19, a student at the University of Colorado (CU). "I would go out into my mom's car, turn it on auxiliary and listen to Rush Limbaugh."
Yesterday, he said, it was time to come out of the closet. In the middle of a crowded university dining area, he took to the podium and announced, "I'm Jeff, and I'm a conservative."

Does this "manifesto" sound fishy to you? Remind you of something?

1. Why are you posting from a right-wing site and not giving your opinion?
:shrug: Who cares what the Washington Times has to say about anything. They are not credible.

2. We should care
Or should we just ignore this?? At what point to do we stop ignoring and start firing back?

I asked if the manifesto reminded you of something....

Colorado became ground zero for a nationwide debate last summer when conservative writer David Horowitz met with Republican Gov. Bill Owens and other top Republican leaders to promote his Academic Bill of Rights, an eight-point manifesto that seeks to eliminate political bias in university hiring and grading.

Does that clear it up?

3. You're right. Maybe he should post from a credible source...
Like the New York Times, maybe? (please note sarcasm)
