Professors, students to boycott Madeline Albright’s speech at college graduation

[Donkees]

[Merryland]

1. they should carry signs that say

"women who support female war-mongers" should be - whatever the hell the elderly warmonger said, fortunately I can't remember.

[notadmblnd]

27. She said there's a special place in hell for women who don't support Hillary

While that other great feminist and fighter for women's rights said young women only support Sanders, because of the boys.

Steinem, who is 81, began by saying that most women become more active in politics as they grow older, because women lose power as they age. Young women, she said, ask, “Where are the boys?” as in, “Who are the boys voting for?”

[Baobab]

49. There is a special place in Hell for those who KILL OTHERS.

"Thou Shalt Not Kill"

[kwassa]

57. Hell must be extremely crowded, then.

[StarTrombone]

2. There's a special place in

Oh, nevermind

[kadaholo]

3. The Face of Albright...

...is the face of a war-monger.

Another prime example of how gender has nothing to do with vision, competence, integrity or ability.

[iandhr]

4. Kind of like this?

[Donkees]

5. She Created a New Slogan:

[font color="red" size= "4"]"Rest assured, there's a special place in heaven for anyone who speaks truth to power."
— Madeleine Albright[/font]

[kadaholo]

44. New Slogan...

After her scathing earlier statement, “There’s a special place in hell for women who don’t help each other," her latest sound byte sounds like a Bernie endorsement to me! LOL!!!

[Cryptoad]

6. Yesterday it was Hillary Haters day , looks like today is

Old Woman Haters ,,,,, easier to paint with those wide brushes!

[Android3.14]

7. Another example of a war lover

And another prime example of how gender and age have nothing to do with vision, competence, integrity or ability.

[Cryptoad]

11. Yet u support those that ...

discriminate within that framework,,,,, I have never met an ignorant person who was aware of their own ignorance.

[Gene Debs]

18. I have never met anyone who posted such ridiculous things as you who I could not

immediately put on ignore. Bye!

[KPN]

23. You got that right!

[Android3.14]

41. More projection

[roguevalley]

31. I'm an old woman and I support this criticism

Don't try to save Albright by her age. By that measure we can't criticize Reagan the bushs
Or anyone else who DESERVES and EARNED it.

[6chars]

42. A war lover? Ridiculous.

People (or androids) just say the shit they want to say and then act as if it is true. I guess that's ok to do as long as you are not in power.

[bjo59]

52. Do you even know who Madeleine Albright is? Doesn't seem like it.

[Doctor_J]

10. ^^^^ Irony alert ^^^^

It would be nice if every day was Warmonger Hater Day at du. The party would probably be growing instead of disappearing.

[Cryptoad]

13. that would be great except

seems there is problem with who is defined as a war monger by whom! Oh,,, my hero vote no once so he not a warmonger even though he voted yes 10 times.. how funny

[bjo59]

53. Here you go:

Lesley Stahl on U.S. sanctions against Iraq: We have heard that a half million children have died. I mean, that’s more children than died in Hiroshima. And, you know, is the price worth it?

Secretary of State Madeleine Albright: I think this is a very hard choice, but the price–we think the price is worth it.

—60 Minutes (5/12/96)

Hmmm. 500,000 dead Iraqi children as a result of USA political hardball and Albright sheds a crocodile tear (such a hard choice!) - but the price was worth it. This thread isn't about anyone but Madeleine Albright and you're defending her?

[Loudestlib]

12. "Old Woman Haters"

This is stupid.

[Cryptoad]

15. Agreed

[whereisjustice]

16. lol - we don't want paid shills for Wall Street and War in office. Regardless of Gender... you

have made the most offensive post of the day. Get over your identity and starting looking at deeds and not just sexual organs, preferences, identy.

Jesus Christ some people can't focus on anything else but sex.

[Cryptoad]

17. Is this ur attempt

to reflect what u are doing on to me.... us need practice.

[roguevalley]

33. truth hurts

[Cryptoad]

38. don't it!

[notadmblnd]

39. Hey, if you can't yell sexism or ageism

then there's really nothing left to yell and you know what would have to happen then-

That's right- real discussion.

No, we can't! No, we can't! No, we can't! No, we can't!

[MrMickeysMom]

21. And, today is collateral damage lover's day!

Let's hear it for those who cheer on those who consider children's body parts sprayed into a red mist, "collateral damage".

Yay, war criminals! They're the best!..

[bjo59]

51. Hey, why don't we instead just call it what it is: disdain and disgust aimed at a war monger.

[shakedown1970]

55. Hating ware mongers knows no gender. Jack ass.

[RATM435]

8. Madeleine Albright - The deaths of 500,000 Iraqi children was worth it.

[valerief]

9. Albright? Isn't that Kissinger? Birds of a feather...

[Silver_Witch]

14. The proof is in the woman.

Her words speak of who she os ! Gender does not determine a kind soul or good heart. Gender does not guarantee one is righteous or evil.

Please stop using gender as a reason to support a being. Evil is evil regardless of whether it wears panties or briefs!

[6chars]

19. hooray for the pure people!

[djean111]

20. Well, there is pure, and then there is refusing to validate a warmonger.

Only so much shit can be shoveled under the sarcastic and condescending and dismissive "pure" rug.

[oberliner]

22. Albright's 20-minute speech received boisterous applause, whistles and a standing ovation.

Facing a tough crowd, Madeleine Albright urges Scripps graduates 'to start discussions, not to end them'

http://www.latimes.com/local/california/la-me-albright-scripps-20160515-story.html

[KPN]

24. So do Trump's. What's your point? Cuz applause doesn't in itself mean merit.

Nor does standing ovation.

[Gene Debs]

25. Proving what? Donald Trump's speeches receive boisterous applause, whistles and standing ovations.

[oberliner]

37. Proving that many of the Scripps College students liked her speech

Not exactly the same as a Donald Trump crowd, I would mention.

[Gene Debs]

43. Don't be deliberately dense. You know exactly what i mean.

[oberliner]

45. Huh?

I'm just saying that people there liked her speech. And the crowd were not really Trump people.

[riversedge]

54. A standing ovation and applause means the audiance loved her speech.

[scottie55]

30. So Let's Discuss How You Can Kill 500,000 Children, And Not Be In Prison

This world is beyond f-ed up.

We bought them bombs, we gotta use 'em on sumthin' right?

Let's bomb the sewage treatment facilities of a huuuuuuge city, and watch the disease spread.

Like that will Reeeeealy hurt the dictator!

They are building an extra hot addition in hell for Albright, and Kissinger.

When they die the MIC will have a sad.

[oberliner]

36. Madeline Albright did not kill 500,000 children

This is preposterous.

[jtuck004]

26. They are missing an opportunity.They should all attend, and bring something putrid that has

been dead a week or so.

Some rotting, stinking meat would be good.

Let the place smell like what she has to offer.

[oberliner]

34. The speech already happened

She was very well-received.

[roguevalley]

35. Too bad

[jtuck004]

47. t's not every day you get to applaud a bloodthirsty immoral war criminal.

Otoh, now that they are pushing for women to get into combat, her successors can send kids and their parents off to be killed in useless and illegal wars without worrying about gender.

So there is progress.

[oberliner]

48. She's none of those things

That is a preposterous statement.

[jtuck004]

50. I've done so well w/o your opinion to guide me all these years. Think I will continue.

You take care. lol.

[oberliner]

56. Why share your opinion if you don't want to hear others?

Discussion boards are for discussion, aren't they?

[oldandhappy]

28. Gosh, dumb me

Had no idea the fees were so much. I mean, you know, they get that honorary doctorate and hood and stuff! Interesting that Harvard et al do not pay. Guess lesser knowns are buying reflected glory.

[Alkene]

29. Boycotting her speech is not a very hard choice.

There are half a million reasons to do so.

[scottie55]

32. Half A Million Children, Half A Million Old Folks

But not Saddam of course.

Had to take him out later at the cost of 7 trillion. (after paying interest)

Now shut up while I deny you health care, and cut your food stamps, while we send your job to China.

We can't afford you.

[tonyt53]

40. BINGO!!!

[Thespian2]

46. let us cogitate...

blowing 50,000 children into smithereens is "worth it?" What on earth could be worth the destruction of so many people? If there are any Hells, this woman will, all by herself, have one...
