invitation. Don't you think it's interesting how they extended the invitation, Barack accepts, THEN they get "Bible Silly"

Fuck Notre Dame for bowing to the winger pressure within the Catholic church.

Note, not uninvite ... not presenting the normal Honorary Degree and whatever else they normally do.

3. has Notre Dame withdrawn the invitation to Obama?
Last i heard, Father Jenkins was standing up for Obama and emphasizing how proud ND is to have him speak.

13. While they have an absolute right to stand up for their religious principles,
they should never have invited him if they thought his presence violated those values. Once the invitation was extended, however, they should have gone forward with it, and let anyone who objected simply refuse to attend, or even peacefully demonstrate. This was handled badly.

15. I'm a bit confused. Just what "religious principles" would Obama have violated?
I haven't been following this story too closely...:shrug:

22. Rather extreme, considering it let George W. Bush speak there...
Perhaps the Church wasn't aware of one of W's "youthful indiscretions"

In the winter of 1971 George W. Bush was dating a woman named Robin Lowman (now Robin Garner). Miss Lowman became pregnant by Smirk and he arranged for her to have an abortion - which in the great state of Texas in 1971 was very illegal! Not to mention that George W. is running as a pro-life candidate for the presidency.

The unnamed source of this story, was a friend of Robin Lowman`s and the girlfriend of the man who arranged the abortion. His name is Robert Carl Chandler. Chandler is a Bush friend and supporter from way back and he made the arrangements for Miss Lowman`s abortion at the Twelve Oaks Hospital in Houston, TX (now the Bayou City Medical Center). The source overheard the call by Mr. Chandler to arrange the abortion and the source visited Robin Lowman at the Twelve Oaks Hospital after the procedure.

The source meanwhile, is afraid of coming forward, saying that she was threatened by Chandler and another Bush friend and supporter named Jim Bath. Bath has longstanding intelligence connections, and played a role in the BCCI scandal. Robin Lowman (now Garner) is married to Jerry Lee Garner who is an FBI agent.

Who's dated who

14. It seems to be that rpannier has debunked everything you've stated in your OP.
Maybe you should edit your post.

It seems that the invitation is still standing and that he will be given an honorary degree.


So, what's your beef? That a few wingers are still protesting? Who cares?

20. Yes. My point was that original posts should link
to their source. It's one of the most common things original posters fail to do, and leads to a lot of misinformation here on DU.

Personally, I think that all original posts of news information should link to their source.
