Google "Tyler Clementi" for an example of how O'Keefe's next sick project might end up."<br /><br /> This is no accident, or coincidence. This is actually a long term media effort by rightwingers.<br /><br /> Prior to viewing the CNN program on these young folks one needs to do a little research to be informed.<br /><br /> About the Rutgers Centurion<br /> Wikipedia has<br /><br /> "The Rutgers Centurion is a conservative magazine focused on Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey. Its motto is "veritas vos liberabit," which is Latin for "the truth shall set you free." ...<br /><br /> "The Centurion was founded in September 2004 by James O'Keefe,[2] a junior philosophy major, after he was fired from the Daily Targum."<br /><br /> " In one video the editors of The Centurion attempted to ban Lucky Charms from Brower Dining Hall on the grounds the breakfast cereal was "offensive" to Irish-Americans.[3]"<br /><br /> "The Centurion is a member of the Collegiate Network."<br /><br /><br /> The Collegiate Network has been covered by RightWingWatch and others.<br /><br /> RightWingWatch states<br /><br /><br /> "The Collegiate Network was established in 1979 to provide financial and technical assistance to right-wing student newspapers on college campuses. It is heavily funded by right-wing foundations and claims its newspapers have a combined distribution of more than two million each year."<br /><br /> "The Collegiate Network has received, from the years 1995-2003, $4,615,000 in grants from conservative foundations such as the Sarah Scaife Foundation, the Lynde and Harry Bradley Foundation, the Kirby Foundation, Carthage Foundation, and the John M. Olin Foundation, among others.<br /><br /> TPMMuckraker has the details of how three of the four involved in the Senator Landrieu phone tampering incident were involved with this Collegiate Network.<br /><br /><br /> "Three of the four young men charged in the alleged phone tampering attempt at Sen. Mary Landrieu's New Orleans office Monday were involved in the well-funded, opportunity-rich world of conservative campus journalism in recent years, a link that provides potential clues about how the men knew each other and why they came to hatch the alleged plot.<br /><br /> James O'Keefe, Joseph Basel, and Stan Dai each founded or led the alternative conservative newspapers on their respective college campuses."<br /><br /> Click through the links, there is much more to be found at each.<br /><br /> 11:28 AMAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2083200247132907218.post-55062029251630096882010-10-01T07:25:51.999-08:002010-10-01T07:25:51.999-08:00Just yesterday I finally got around to watching Da...Just yesterday I finally got around to watching Dan Savage's "It Gets Better" clip on YouTube which is in response to these events, and it is simply an incredible and powerful message (for everyone) on how to deal with this.<br />Poignant, honest and very moving: highly recommended.jamiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09929486289400863627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2083200247132907218.post-50534084785273446302010-10-01T07:24:12.852-08:002010-10-01T07:24:12.852-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.jamiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09929486289400863627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2083200247132907218.post-70726780015148803472010-10-01T07:14:09.308-08:002010-10-01T07:14:09.308-08:00Having had a family member killed because he was a...Having had a family member killed because he was a Alaska Native, I hope the family will be able to grieve. I can tell you the reason for a death being soooo unnessary will make the grieving process extremely difficult. <br /><br />I heart the family members of this talented young man. May they have the strength and guts to get thru the anger part of the grieving process. <br /><br />I sooo hope the family finds a good soul, like my family did, to help get past the anger. Decades later the anger can and will still well up like a evil wind. It is important to learn to check that anger into a postive force instead of a destructive force. <br /><br />Look I know the guy with the camera didn't make the push off the bridge, but the camera guy is at some point responsible for disgusting behavior. <br /><br />I pray for this talented young man's family. It is going to be a long rough road. I pray that this family will learn to love and appreciate they had such a wonderful human grace thier presence.<br /><br />.................................................<br /><br />Now about the stupid idiot who thought it was okay to invade a humans private life: may someone pull your fingernails off and pour rubbing ahcohol on them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2083200247132907218.post-52417398198518752192010-10-01T03:22:52.819-08:002010-10-01T03:22:52.819-08:00This is just so sad.
