Actions have consequences
September 22nd, 2007 at 9:32 am . by nukeYou would think that grown men and women would understand that actions have consequences. But, in the case of moonbats, you would be wrong. From Breitbart….
Coloradoan.com: A profane four-word editorial in Friday’s Rocky Mountain Collegian, Colorado State University’s student newspaper, caused advertisers to pull $30,000 worth of advertising and prompted the newsroom to slash student employee pay and other budgets by 10 percent, according to a confidential memo. The Friday editorial read simply “Taser this… F— BUSH,” along with a sentence in regular type saying “This column represents the views of the Collegian.’
And pulling $30,000 worth of advertising represents the views of the rest of us.
In a letter to the University Community and Collegian readers,editor David McSwane wrote, “While the editorial board feels strongly with regard to First Amendment issues, we have found the unintended consequences of such a bold statement to be extremely disheartening.” source
Perhaps these college students have learned some important lessons. One, the importance of basing their decisions on rational thought rather than their feelings. Second, your feelings are only important to yourself. Third, actions always have consequences. It is good that they can learn these lessons in their youth rather than claiming some imaginary protected victimhood status that exists only in the minds of moonbats and academics.

Henh.
Well, there is free speech, and then there is free enterprise.
Yes, actions do have consequences, of which these mushheads never considered, as like most LLL, they believe they are the essence of intelligence and morality, and that everyone else recognizes that fallacy.
I’ll give the moonbat credit, he realizes he royally screwed up. It’s his critical judgement that is the problem, and his inability to predict the future.
Break out the Ouiji board, moonbat, you gonna get fired.

I’m glad to see some of the Hate Bush crowd get a little taste of reality.
Yeah. They need a good dose.
(Shaking head sadly.) So instead of dealing with actual important issues, the people at the student newspaper feel that doing the equivalent of an elementary school kid writing naughty words on the wall is the most important issue that generation will face. God help that clueless generation if these are any example of their spokesmen.
fortunately they are an aberration, I think. An ungrateful spawn of an ungrateful hippie generation.
Perhaps you are right. The people that I know are encouraging their children to become entrepreneurs of some sort, not journalists.
this is an important lesson for these kids to learn. Hopefully some of them will take it to heart.
Journalists and investigative reporters as well as television achors, even, used to be looked upon with respect. Now they’re just looked upon as empty-headed opinion spouters and news readers.
Too much indocrination and too little education, I suppose.

They won’t learn anything from this except that they are victims. They have been taught this kind of junk all their lives. You need a foundation from which to base the difference between right and wrong. Without it, it’s like a drunk without booze. But that’s a whole other issue, and one quite easier to solve. Sadly.

O, man
Color me ‘blind as bat.’
I can’t see that little bugger for life nor money.
But, it is well-known amongst those that well-know me, if I was starving and it was raining soup, I would be standing there with a fork in my hand.
Where is it?
