I don't know the answer unless they are being told in their respective schools to respond to things like that last election in such a manner. I know that most people of the left lean don't like to have things like this brought to the attention of the populace, but I just couldn't help sharing this piece and its video with the forum. Watch the video to maybe get some proof of what is said in the piece.


College Students Cheer for Karl Marx, Socialism, and Barack Obama

Because they've been carefully taught at their colleges, that socialism works well, and brings equality and freedom.

Also that anybody who disagree with this, is not only wrong, but inherently evil, and must not even be listened to, but only destroyed.

Garbage in, garbage out: Of course they vote for Obama.

Because they knew it would tee you off.

There's already a thread about this in the elections forum, BTW.

Those students are laughing at you and people who think like you, Roy. They are chanting "socialism," "Karl Marx," and "Obama phones" to mock social conservatives and Republicans who believe that those are the reasons that anyone would vote for Obama. Didn't the laughter of the students as they chant these things clue you in?

I honestly can't believe this has to be explained.

Ah yes a right wing blog reporting on the evils of liberalism, and college students. There is no bias going on there of course

"Why would college students cheer for Karl Marx and socialism?"

I don't know. I still can't figure out how a guy who worships Ayn Rand's Virtues of Selfishness could get on a national ticket as a Republican VP pick, the party who used to call themselves Compassionate Conservatives.

Well, duh!

We all know that the commies took over the schools years ago and now every American student is sitting in class being indoctrinated because of the implants in their brains. We'll wait with baited breath until we get the handy link that shows Obama himself implanting the receiving devices.

Hmmm.. Whatever happened to "Hey, Hey, LBJ! How many kids did you kill today?!"

Now THAT was a cheer.

You have to be able to be self-aware to get irony, very few of the OP's fellows are self-aware needless to say.

Why? Because they are young and in school so they haven't had their hard earned money taken from them yet. They are on the recieving end right now. I'll be interested in seeing how they feel after about a decade of working, thinking that it will help them get ahead, only to discover that they work at least half a year to pay for other people, quite a few of whom don't work at all.

I'd rather hear students harmlessly cheering for Marx than suggesting the n****r in the White House should be killed ala Ole Miss.
