The boos and catcalls - including those from faculty who stood on stage with Card - drowned out Provost Charlena Seymour’s remarks as she awarded the degree. Protesters claim Card lied to the American people in the early days of the Iraq war and should not have been honored at the graduate student commencement. Card smiled slightly while Seymour spoke and raised his hand in thanks, then sat down without speaking. The protests were mainly contained to an area in the back of the campus arena and many of the faculty on stage who joined the three- to four- minute outburst. One faculty member on stage held a sign: "Card _ no honor, no degree." Another sign said "War criminals go home."

AIPAC runs the show from both sides of the aisle. It's Israel first at every juncture.

Yes, one of the main problems we have in this country now is the "haves" are working constantly to further diminish the power of the "have nots", or to hell with the will of the people, so they continue with their war against the lower middle class and the common workers, until they achieve their evil dream of having a permanent "slave class" here as they do in some other countries around the world... one can have a job or jobs and still be in a slave-like position, and that is how many republicans/conservatives/neocons want it.
