RU names commencement speaker
- Thread starter PiscatawayMike
- Start date
Steve Van Zandt is a great choice. Stellar career in music, radio and acting. great songwriter, driving force in the creation of the Asbury Jukes, the quintessential Jersey band. Musical sidekick and often co-producer for Bruce. Led the music industry's revolt against apartheid. New Jersey guy. While politically on the left he had the guts to criticize the cast of Hamilton for their inappropriate lecture to Mike Pence.
If you get the chance, listen to Underground Garage when he is DJing. His monologues will put to rest any concerns of his ability to write and deliver n intelligent and meaningful speech.

Condi decided not to come.
Do Trumpkins still want her though after she criticized Dear Leader's Muslim Ban and his statements admitting rape?

left loves to restrict free speech..Mad Snowflakes!
Almost as mad as the turtle leading the Senate who was bigly triggered because Elizabeth Warren read a letter from MLK Jr's widow...or almost as mad as when Tinkles demanded the theater be a safe space...almost
why wouldnt we...I like her, just because you disagree on somethings doesnt mean you throw the baby out with the bathwater. She should run for President someday or be a VP. I truly admire her.
Mine was the first President Bush. All I remember was the inconvenience of having a former President on campus.
Since I voted for neither him nor the corruption ridden candidate ran against him I have no problem. But if the snowflakes can do $100k of damage to a campus building over a midweek speech, I shudder to think what they could do to a graduation. BTW, could you provide a list of VIOLENT campus protests over a liberal speaker giving a speech?
So associating the Right with a Swastika would be ok, correct? I am in the middle and think both the right and left are selfish and arrogant and would put party over country in a heartbeat.left loves to restrict free speech..Mad Snowflakes!
Just to be clear, the rioters were mostly NOT UC students but masked folks from the surrounding area.
And how many did the Berkley police arrest? Would similar tolerance be shown?
Paid consultants working for one of many George Soros political activist organizations ?
That's exactly where I am hence why Hillary couldn't have paid off ALL my debts to vote for her. That being said I agree it's beyond stupid to associate the right with a Swastika. Kinda disgusting, ignorant, and flat-out moronic if you ask me.
As a democrat, who voted for Trump, I was all for Condi speaking at RU.
(BTW - IT'S NOT A "MUSLIM" BAN. SMH)
If she couldn't stand up to those protesting he speech at Rutgers, maybe she can't stand up to what she'd face running for President.
I believe Connie would make a good candidate, but wonder how she's react to the
personal scrutiny that comes with running for that office.
Some handle it just fine while others can't stand up to that type of pressure.
Being appointed to a government office is a little different .
Rice did stand up to the Minnesota U protesters
Her speaking fee there was $150,000. ( paid by donors)
RU paying only $35,000 might not have been worth the hassle. ( maybe is some donors stepped-up so she'd make more bucks, Rice wouldn't have backed out)
How about one of Milo's supporters shooting a protester at University of Washington?
I am for her and Milo speaking. I just happen to notice that not one person who (falsely) accuses RU of taking back her invite shares free speech concerns when they are on the floor of the US Senate or during a Broadway show.

The Official Flag of the Tolerant Snowflake.
The Swastika used by the National SOCIALIST party? Why would you associate a Leftist political view with the Right?
Just read in National Review:
Nisa Dang, whose Facebook page identifies her as a current Nevada State Democratic Party field organizer, wrote a piece for the Daily Californian explaining that she was disgusted to see how many liberals took to Facebook after Wednesday’s riots to say that “in order for a protest to be effective, it must also be nonviolent,” because that’s a “flawed, problematic and deeply cowardly line of reasoning.”
Can't give you the whole article or a link because I received it as an e-mail. (It is worth reading) But [email protected] should get you there.

I love SVZ. How many guys are that successful in rock and roll and TV/acting? Not to mention Little Steven's Underground Garage, Channel 21 on SiriusXM, which might be my favorite channel. The whole channel was his vision and it's awesome and he's quite good when he DJs. He certainly has a ton of great stories.
I know he's not the POTUS (Obama absolutely killed it last year), but RU could do far worse. I think he'll be insightful and entertaining.

You can't be that gullible can you? There's a reason David Duke loves America's favorite right-winger, Donald Trump...

Come on Not. The Senate has rules. If you want to use the defense that it was broken before tell that to the next cop on the GSP who thinks you might have been driving too fast.
Conan O'Brien also did one for Harvard as well. He went to Harvard.
Sadly, some people here live in a bubble and have no clue who normally does these things at most other schools.
But Google does exist, so there isn't any excuse.
Yeah - and the Democratic People's Republic of Korea is a democracy. You can slap a label into anything, which both US parties are doing today. Both put party over country and are slowly destroying the real USA, which is growing in numbers in the middle.
Unfortunately for you, I've seen enough of your political comments to be certain that you sir, are the moron. And I'm damn sure that many on this board will agree with my sentiment.
It's simply stunning how many people have zero knowledge, or understanding, as to where communism and socialism fall on the political spectrum.
If you think Nazism is part of the Right you should stick to weather. Despite what David Dukes says NAZIs are Leftists.
OK, Sir. LOL because popularity is always a good indication of right and wrong. SMH
and very socially active. This isn't just Bruce's sidekick here. He is accomplished in his won right.
My head is spinning from your comments. Who / what are leftists. Who / what are Nazis? Please tell us what the connection is.
