A defining moment for young Republicans
http://www.suntimes.com/news/quicktakes/487949,CST-NWS-qt29.article

July 29, 2007
BY ZAY N. SMITH Sun-Times Columnist

Observing the Chicken Hawk in Its Natural Habitat:

A video of the College Republican National Convention, where delegates talk enthusiastically about war until they are asked why they aren't in uniform, can be found at www.maxblumenthal.com/archives/171.

Then again, we should keep in mind Calvin Trillin's advice that "sissy hawks" is the better name. He points out:

"A chicken hawk, which exists in nature, is a hawk that preys on chickens, not a hawk that acts like a chicken."

1. K&R
A chicken hawk is braver than any of those simpy (wimpy and sissy) GOP hawks!

Touche to Calvin Trillin!

2. Here is a better link to the video
I don't get why the rapture ready video comes up with the other link? I searched and found the one the Sun-Times was trying to highlight. Its almost identical to this one. Must have been the period at the end that I didn't count on?

Rapture ready was good too though.

So.....if you aren't an ignorant, stupid, sensibility-challenged coward, the College Republicans isn't for you?

7. He's officially "not gay."
I loved his little explanation. "Just because you have inclinations to wards the same sex...doesn't mean your gay. I mean everyone is curious...you except, suppress it, and pray!"

14. But unofficially?????
"No one knows what goes on behind closed doors!"
And I always thought that old song was useless!

6. Blumenthal has quite a few good videos
calling out the reich-wing. His one on the extreme evangelicals and Hagee is great! LIEberman even shows up in that one. He should be kicked out of congress for even talking to those freaks!
