College Republicans Trying To Raise the Level of Debate

And the liberals are pissed. I love it.

Lol, kind of like how highschool games of 'smeer the queer' raised the level of debate on the playground, right?

Are MSM outlets talking about this and therefore discussing immigration? Yes. Hence they are debating the subject. I do agree that raising the level of debate is the wrong phrase to use.

ok, that's fine then. I agree they're getting people to talk about it.

Yeah but do you believe it is Racist, Dehimunizing, and ignorant as those on the left are suggesting. Or do you think they have nothing intelligent to come back with. It is hard to argue FOR Illigal Immigration. So the only come back they have is to use the infamous RACIST card. Those damn republicans. Alll they care about is white rich people.

I believe it was just a stupid stunt. I doubt there was anyone racist in the room when they came up with the idea, and I doubt they said to themselves 'this will incense a lot of people andcreate a huge controversy but it's a valid statement and a sophhisticated mehtod of engaging the debate'. I've been on planning committees for student events, and I bet it was just a bunch of half-interested people who came up with some half-assed 'event' and decided to go for it without giving it alot of thought. I can certainly understand why poeple would be offended by it (for the same reason they're offended by calling a simple playground ball game 'smeer the queer') and as far as that goes maybe these kids were being insensitive, but I don't really care.


As far as liberals on campus not having a comeback, they don't have a comeback because the republican students DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING. It's not like this game made a point, had any political or moral message, etc; it was just a dumb stunt. There was no point being made for the liberals to counter; they were just expressing their own outrage at the insensitive nature of the stunt.

The stunt was insensitive? Insensitive to who? Illigal Immigrants? We are supposed to be sensitive to those who are in this country illegaly? Dont be in my country illegaly and you will not have to worry about being offended.
