Sometimes a commencement speech is just a commencement speech

All the wringing of hands about why-oh-why Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., would agree to give the commencement address at the Rev. Jerry Falwell’s Liberty University on Saturday has seemed very silly. It assumes McCain is something other than a conservative (his voting record says he is), as it suggests that the views of a guest must align with the views of his host. Falwell effectively addressed the odd controversy in a New York Times commentary headlined “An Invitation, Not an Endorsement.” But he did say: “Mr. McCain is the front-runner for the nomination and is the kind of conservative candidate whom I would have little trouble supporting.”

    Right . . . let’s say that Al Gore went to Cuba and gave a speech at Stalin University for Communist Studies.

    The right-wing wouldn’t have a problem with THAT, would they?

    Nah . . . it’s just a speech . . .

    McClown is neither Christian nor conservative but like falwell he is a flunky for israel the jews and their nwo! Our rotten kikeocracy makes for strange bedfellows. I noticed that zionist rupert murdoch just held a fundraiser for that broomstick riding carpetbagger hillary. Our two party, jew party system is a trap and a filthy joke!

    Viva La Revolucion Blanco!!!

    TrueBlue: You have a strange perspective, equating McCain at Liberty, with Gore at in Cuba with the Communists. No wonder this country is so divided.
