Who said that Dems should drop condemning Limbaugh? Introducing the next Repub silliness act:

[ProSense]

The ‘Restore Patriotism to University Campuses Act’: The name of Rep. Duncan Hunter’s (R-CA) bill to cut off all federal funds to Columbia University because of the Ahmadinejad speech.

[Union Yes]

1. Patriotism..

Becoming a scarier word with every waking day.

[City Lights]

2. Hi, Union Yes!

:hi: Welcome to DU! :hi:

[BleedingHeartPatriot]

6. Welcome to DU!

As someone whose DU handle contains the word, I couldn't agree with you more.

Along with "freedom" and "democracy".

:toast: MKJ

[tekisui]

10. Today's Patriotism=Jingoism=Fascism

[TheUniverse]

18. patriotism = only saying what your government wants you to say.

Allowing any other kind of speech, even speech you don't agree with it in an educational setting is treason.

[Cabcere]

19. You got that right, Union Yes.

And welcome to DU! :hi:

[ralbertson]

3. demogogues 'r' us

Or, rather, them.

He said he was gonna do this if Columbia let Ahmadinejad speak. And so he did.

I suppose he expects us to give him extra points for follow-through, too.

[whistle]

Doesn't this prove that republicans are reactionary?

[Kagemusha]

4. Dems, yes. Senate, House? Perhaps not, because it's piling on stupidity.

And believe me, I consider Hunter's bill stupid in the extreme.

[ProSense]

7. The Dems must absolutely

press this issue. Enough hypocrisy! They should not get away with trying to destroy people's reputation.

[movonne]

11. Well this country is now extreme stupidity..How many dems will

go along with this...this must be part of their plan...just keep us occupied with this nonsense...forget the war, forget we will be bombing Iran..

[FormerDittoHead]

14. Don't you support the troops?

...and of course, the :sarcasm: emoticon for those who can't see it when it's biting them in the eyes....

[rodeodance]

5. remember he is the one who taked up the Gitmo memus for days on end to

show how well they are treated. I lost it at that stint.

[globalvillage]

8. My friend had crazy old uncle like that.

Whenever someone said something he didn't like, he'd just start swinging his cane and try whomping people with it.

Of course, he wasn't a Congressman.

[John Kerry VonErich]

9. This is worse than the MoveOn Resolution.

Columbia is a leader in medical research, mainly immunology. And if Hunter has his way, we might not see advancementand hundreds, maybe thousands may die waiting. Now can we have outrage?

[Disturbed]

12. Repugs believe in Free Speech of Repugs.

Any other speech should be banned.

[John Kerry VonErich]

15. Exactly

The difference between MoveOn and Columbia is that MoveOn had nothing to lose.

[Pacifist Patriot]

13. That is about the creepiest name for a legislative act.

Gave me the goose bumps.

[liberalmuse]

16. Yeah, because "Free Speech"...

Is only valid if you agree with whomever is talking. I wish someone would point out how anti-American it is shove a bullshit term like "patriotism" down everyone's throat. I have to say that most Republicans in Congress are anti-American, fucking facist pieces of shit.

[TheUniverse]

17. Lets cut off federal funding to the White House.

After All, Bush invited the King of Saudi Arabia there. terrorist bastard.

[beachmom]

20. Unbelievable. n/t

[sarge43]

21. Hey, as long as we're going totally bat shit crazy here,

I'm thinking Rep Hunter should be brought up on charges for violating his oath of office to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States which states that "Congress shall make no law ... abridging the freedom of speech" ... Amendments, Article I, USC.

Welcome to the Fight Club, Union Yes :evilgrin:

[Canuckistanian]

22. Stop letting them define patriotism!

Honest to FSM, the Dems should kill this one in it's cradle. This is ridiculous.

[Skidmore]

23. The "Party of Silly Walks"

John Stewart or Bill Maher needs to do a sketch about the Republicks ala Monty Python.

[Joey Liberal]

24. Duncan is a crazy man............n/t
