Majority of Notre Dame Student Support Obama

Gateway Pundit thinks the Notre Dame fundamentalist protesters make the Christian Right look good. Did GP fail the notice the vast majority of students were booing the protesters? It is obvious the graduating students like Obama more than the protesters. Listen to the cheers when Obama says he is glad to be at Notre Dame.



Glenn Reynolds links the Gateway Pundit's post. GP calls Obama "the most radical pro-abortion and infanticide president in history. One of his first actions as president was to lift a ban on funding foreign abortions." The pro-choice and pro-gay marriage Reynolds doesn't care about those issues. Reynolds is intellectually lazy. Reynolds will not sit down and formulate a coherent thesis about why he disagrees with Obama. He would rather bash Obama by linking to a blogger he disagrees with on social issues.

The signs point the Republicans astroturfing the Notre Dame commencement speech. The outrage against Obama wasn't coming from the student body.

Notre Dame's leadership argued that opposition to Obama's presence was largely from alumni or outsiders, with contemporary students overwhelmingly welcoming the president. The university's newspaper said that 73% of letters from students backed the invitation to Obama.
