SUNY Oneonta is featuring a very special guest speaker tonight. A speaker that you, the taxpayers of NYS, get to pay for. They're also featuring a rebuttal speaker, who you are also paying for.

The main speaker is getting $11,000 for her little speech. The rebuttal is getting $600. The rebuttal speaker is a retired Colonel and Gulf War Veteran.

The main speaker?

Moonbat of moonbats, Cindi Sheehan.

Enjoy writing that check...

RobM,
I often agree with you - but not this time.
If you read your linked article you will see that both speakers fees are paid through a student activity fee, so it will not be on my tax bill.
Sheehan's speech is on one person can make a difference, she will certainly cite the war; but that is not the main intent.
And whether you agree with her or not, I have trouble being over critical of someone who has lost a child in the effort - moonbat of moonbats seems a litle harsh.

Cindi Sheehan has the right to speak at any campus, even though she is a left wing nut job. Too bad she wasn't protesting down in Crawford that week instead of trying to push her bull crap over on "our" New York kids.

The only reason she's still not down in Crawford is that she threw a demonstration and NO ONE SHOWED UP.
