2. It's basically the speaker
at the graduation of the law school ripping Coulter, saying that if he knew he could make millions being a shrill hack with a law degree, he would have gone 10 years ago.

3. Fantastic!!!!!
My hubby and I were watching Larry King tonight---all about the biggest FREAK herself and it sickened my husband so much to hear her defending those hateful, venomous remarks in a tape featuring her and Matt that we had to turn it off.

5. Uh...gawrsh...I think the speaker went too far.
Not by attacking Coulter. She's fair game at this point. But, by resorting to the "hateful freak" comment, he seemed to be lowering himself to the level of the righties and giving them an easy out; they'll be able to say "Oh my, listen to that young man, calling people hateful freaks at a graduation ceremony! So who is being hateful nooooww?" If you've ever argued with a rightie, you've heard it.

8. Who in the world cares about YAFME?
(Yet Another False Moral Equivalence)

They'll do that NO MATTER WHAT THE SPEAKER SAID.

So I say: let him rip.

For those I am sure wondering:
Clarence Darrow was an anti-American communist lawyer from the later 19th and early 20st century.
Shows the type of person that leftist academia brainwashes these kids to worship.

NoJoke79, you are the dork and lifeless one! weather your dumass agree with her or not, everyone knows that she spits out nothin other than Hate.

NoJoke79 (11 hours ago)
And everyone knows that this person is nothing but a typical left-wing campus activist type by invoking a POS like Clarence Darrow.
Whether you agree with him or not.

24. Sure, you know that and I know that...
But to the people who really should know that and would be the best audience for such a remark, they're the ones who hear a supposedly educated man lash out using language like a moronic teenager and they think, "aha, pot calling the kettle black!" and they don't have to actually think about any of the remarks.

Of course, if you're a defended or Coulter's hate speech, you're pretty much an insult to moronic teenagers everywhere, but still...

16. Yep, it is.
I'm pretty sure the speaker mentions it at some point. He makes reference to UMich being Clarence Darrow's law school, but also AC's.

25. Wow. What a pleasure on this gloomy morning!
You know, having watched the shrub and his cohorts for the past six years, I always expect stuttering and foolishness from anybody standing at a podium. It's quite a shock to hear somebody so well spoken making so much sense! God bless our youth.
