President Obama at Notre Dame protest

Moon said:
You clearly said they could protest before or after the graduation. That is a time reference, and therefore it's a "when". Care to comment on that?

And really, you should read your own posts before telling someone else to learn to read. Just some friendly advice.

AT the COLLEGE. Again why would my menaing using common sense have otherwise stated EVERYWHERE?

Again play on words is all you have, sad. My meaning is clear and thus explained, so what do you have now?

What play on words? I quoted your own post! Those were YOUR WORDS! Don't blame me if you can't articulate your thoughts in a coherent manner.

YOu ASSUMED I meant everywhere, you didn't ask. I explained, and said it was for the college. Now I ask what do you have to say to what I clarified.

Do you think protests still should have happened AT the college on graduation? If you do, then what has changed?

Because Graduation isn't about those that at the college, it is about the students.

And a devout Catholic should not be outraged by a pro-abortion type like Dear Leader profaning that graduation ceremony with his presence?

How do you know the Catholics protesting weren't thinking of those students as well?

Don't attend then. Let the students have the graduation and protest later.

I'm not the one that has the problem with the protests. You are.

I agree. Dear Leader should stay away from Notre Dame and not stink the place up with his abortionist abominable self.

So you support protests of soldiers funerals then? I call bull**** there.

Remember there is a difference in SUPPORTING something and SUPPORTING SOMETHING TO BE LEGAL.

I support the protests BEING LEGAL, I don't SUPPORT them.

You can have a problem with something and still want it to be legal.

Called right back. I'll let you search through the threads here where I've said exactly that.

The First Amendment is SUCH a b*tch.

I will concede

I read it again, and in your own way you said he shouldn't have CHOSE to speak there.

That's fine.

No, but there were soldiers funerals that happened. and those people were allowed to protest at them, did you support that? or just supported the right to? There is a difference.

I said he should do something right for a change and not show up. As a staunch advocate of aborting babies he has no place being within earshot of anything Catholic.

As he is there by invitation and thus the pleasure (and error) of the University, not having him there poses no crisis for the 1st Amendment.

So since he was invited, you thought he shouldn't show up. Riiiiiiiiiight.

And then you would be claiming how muslim he was for not showing up to an invitation by a Cahtolic school. Lose/lose situation, I am glad he accepted.

The fault was the school inviting him, he accepted it. Not his fault and you conservatives that HATE him so much would have played out the worst.

Let's stay on topic, shall we?

I support the freedom of people to protest. As I have stated specifically regarding protests at soldier's funerals, so long as they are peaceable and on public property protesters should be allowed to protest.

The answer is relevant since you don't understand the situation between supporting something and supporting the right to do something. You think they are the same.

Supporting people protesting is different than supporting the right for people to protest.

I support the right of people to protest AT the college during garduation, I don't support it though. Those are two different things.

And I have stated none different. I support the rights to protest, I don't support the actual protest though, they are two different things.

Well, finally you start to make some sense. Thank you.

No, they are not. If you support the right to protest you earn the privilege of shutting up when someone chooses to do it at a time and place you find unpleasant.

I think he means he doesn't agree with the views of the protesters. I could be wrong, though.

Sounded to me that he was more hacked about the venue of the protest. The only credible First Amendment response to that is "Deal with it."
