Reply #53: many liberals find the actions of Code Pink and Greenpeace to be ill placed or even more troubling

to the cause they're speaking on behalf of - so, still, she can say what she wants, and they have the right to shut her off at this type of event. I'm sure many conservatives will find her actions righteous (oh goodness, Faux will have her on, surely). Also, a liberal friend of mine went off when Michael Moore used the acceptance speech of his award for Bowling for Columbine as a soapbox to decry the actions of the invasion of Iraq. He was fuming that it wasn't the right place to do that. I think it was.

Just like the cops have taken away protesters for not following the law, the school did the right thing, too. It doesn't mean anyone's reason for doing such is a bad thing, it just means they broke the rules/law. I was not there, but her action could be commended as an act of civil disobedience for her cause, the same way I cheer on Gay rights groups, and still be called arrogant and improper because she started to describe the crucifixion to the families and students gathered for a graduation - so overboard on her part.
