Bush-bashing never gets old… I guess.
Technikal drwings fur a BONG dooode!
The paintings are pretty good, the sculptures less so.
And we PAY for this, what’s worse.
Nope, not when it is so viciously programmed into susceptible “minds” over a lengthy period.
Wonder what’s going to happen to all these lovable little kiddies when the bill comes due? How are they ever going to take care of themselves when they get out into the hard, cold, cruel world?
Oops - forgot myself there. Either they move back in with the parents(assuming the parents are working) or line up for their government handouts. Silly me!
I souport publix ejumakshun on the
collegiatecolgate level.I souport publix ejumakshun on the
collegiatecolgate level.Let’s see what subjects should be teach?
Reading…. naw
Math……. naw
Science…. global warming, but that’s Bush’s fault
BUSH BASHING…. now there’s a subject everyone needs to learn.
Apologies for the double-post.
Wow! They’re all so original, too! Never have I seen anything like those, anywhere else… ever!
Hey 30, stutter much? Or was that so I can read it with either eye?
You know I was just helping you out cpodug…It’s what I do. :-0
These things have a life expectancy of 10 years or so. As a kid I grew up with a steady diet of “Reagan is stupid / cowboy / Hitler / worse than Hitler” etc. I heard it from my teachers, every boob in Hollywood, Don Henley wrote a song, Phil Collins made a video, and every intellectual was convinced RR was going to start WW3. A generation later all but a few dimwits admit Reagan was correct in his handling of the Soviets. I am expecting in my later years I will be hearing the Bush successful put in place the policies that turned back the rise in Islamic Facism.
Once again never seen anything like this, ever! Not here or here
Fumbled my last sentence. Note to self: proofread before posting.
English, paper mache, and monkeys makes perfect sense, no?
Next week’s assignment (teaser) will involve origami, wet noodles and haiku poems.
Is it just me, or is anyone else eagerly anticipating having our country run by these politically conscious “artistically inclined” individuals…!!!!
Some years ago, I read a story about a couple of folks who sat beside the road and waved at the cars going by - father and son. The son commented in the story that he had graduated from college with a degree in philosophy, and explained he wasn’t working. He said there wasn’t much of a market for philosophers.
Don’t think there’s going to be much market for artists, either. Welcome to the brave, new world.
Linn Benton is an Oregon Community College supported by the taxpayers! What a waste of time and materials! Just what skill does such an “activity” prepare students in order to get a job in the real work place? Any suggestions? I am at a loss to think of one! jb
Well, now I have been corrected. There is the proof that the planet is billions of years old and there are the missing links as proof of evolution.
I would hate to see the science curriculum. I bet ever course will attempt to relate global warming to every issue.
I wonder how the august staff at Linn Benton Community College would welcome monkey pics with regards to Jesus Obama.
I have a hunch that they wouldn’t be laughing.
Forgive me for being ignorant. Where the heck is Linn Benton , never heard of it. I only went to Penn State.
Oooops. never mind, I just found out…. twould help if I read all posts…. sowwy!
Wait, does this mean they think President Bush looks like a monkey? Do they think he’s a Nazi? Do they know what a cliche is? Have they ever had an original thought?
I see 3 anti-Bush works and 1 anti-GOP. I’m guessing that there were more than 4 students in the class. I wonder what those other students did for the assignment? Probably not anti-Bush nor anti-GOP, as I’m sure pictures of their project would have been posted as well. 4 out 20? 4 out of 30? Seems like much ado about nothing.
“Rarely is the question asked: is our children learning”- Fearless leader
Like Ralph Lauren, Bush-bashing is fashionable among the character-less crowds.
TOS,
And this is just one child out of tens of millions so it is okay too?
Soap,
You feeding seagulls? Say it isn’t so.
Yes it’s much ado about nothing until they show Rodham or Obama in a similar vein.
Maybe they should stick to their MySpace pages and leave the big thinking to the grownups.
Hey, TOS…what about the ones that ARE shown as completion of an assignment for an English class? Drop the other 30 students…that is an irrelevent assumption, dude.
Making paper mache monkeys of GWB scratching scalps provides students with what type of English Bone-Head Basics?
Get real!!! 4 out of 30…(what is that, the lame game?)
Uhhh, Linn Benton Community College? Community as in publicly supported?
Gee, I guess it does take a village.
Just take a look at the classes offered at Oregon state, about 12 miles away in Corvallis and you will understand. I lived for 10 years about 5 miles away from LBC which is located in Albany, Oregon. Albany is considered to be ‘redneck’ by the elitist moonbats in Corvallis. So you can imagine what Corvallis was like. I swear all the Haight-Ashbury burnouts moved to Oregon when they decided to actually quit living on the streets and start a family. And believe me, they taught their kids every bit of their anti America rhetoric.
I dated a woman who was a grade school teacher in Salem, and the stories she would tell me about 2nd graders and their parent was enough to make you want to beat the kids parents with a bat, then go after the kid.
Amazingly you get east of the Cascade mountains and you get a whole different breed of person. Big cattle ranch country out there. Funny how a little hard work can change your perspective on things.
I think I see a scholarship in The Littlest Bush Hater’s future!
I’ll bet you would have never found one papier-mache piece characterizing Bill Clinton as a drooling simian being serviced by a female simian during his years at the White House. Do you think the instructors would have considered that cutting-edge?
30, Get the feebz! LOL
TOS’ point is numbers make the difference. If he is upset at the “youngest Bush hater” (1 in tens of millions) this sould be an affront to him (4 in 30). That is all!
I thought Oregon State seemed a little too rational. NOW I know where we outsource all our insanity: LBCC! What’s really hilarious is that half the guys I work with go to this school and most of THEM are of a Conservative bent. Makes me wonder exactly who is taking this class.
(And all this time I thought we just sent our nuts off to U of O or Portland State)
Are you kidding? You’re comparing this young child with college students doing an art project? Do we even know what the assignment was? Can we see pictures of all the projects? No, they may not fit our mold of an angry leftist moonbat at a government funded liberal school.

I’m guessing their were some Hillary and Obama one’s. And guess what…still no big deal. Freedom of expression in a college art class? How dare they.
31 Bravo I agree with you on the folks on the Left side of the Cascades. I married a girl from Conservative East Side of the state. Right after we married I changed my residence to Oregon and adopted her hometown of Prineville in the beautiful Ochoco Valley. I kept an Oregon drivers license and voted there until I retired from the USAF. Too bad we couldn’t afford to move back there (another victim of Californication) the two sides of Oregon are like night and day.
Hi Soap.
I have found a new game (we all love games right)…its called…”Pick Your Troll for the Day”…
(Feebz standing here with teeth showing….and in her small voice to TOS,,, “hi..today i pick you…”
)
Where’s Charles Russell, Fredrick Remington, David Mann, et al, with their art that actually celebrated something. Their art left one appreciating something like the freedom of the “wild west” and the freedom of motorcycling.
Now “artists” are just trying to destroy and make one feel bad about something.
Just had to check the link again - if this was an “art” class, why was it in the English Department?
#39 - TOS.
Could you give me any reasonable explination why paper mache monkeys would be considered an acceptable response to English an English assignment?
4 or 30?
Aloha!
Correct, OtherSide #39. And we shouldn’t destroy all the cows in a herd since only a few have Mad Cow Disease.
OKAY…NOT AN ART CLASS….AN ENGLISH CLASS!!!
Feebz unsheathes the beat-down stick! LOL
What would knowing the assignment explain? The President is portrayed as a facist or a tail twirling monkey for crying out loud. Why do I suppose if anyone had dared make an Obama-monkey the Thought Police would whisk the offender off to be re-educated.
This is why you will never hear the words: “And this presidents alma mater was Linn Benton Community College” in future “Halls of Presidents” tours at Disney World
Hey, Feebs - maybe it WAS an art class, but the art department didn’t have any place to put their prized pieces of art - or maybe the English Department was so jealous, the Art Department loaned them the pieces - sort of like a museum.
The difference between Democrats like Other Side and normal human beings is that, tools like Other Side don’t object to President Bush being portrayed as a monkey in a college English class. And normal humans would.
It’s called class. Libs lack class.
If they portrayed Hillary as a whore or Obama as an ape, I’d be just as critical. Other Side, you don’t fool anyone, you’re a dope.
#49 - snort. further proof, liberals have absolutely no taste.
Wouldn’t that be considered typecasting, Libocrat?
Well, at least they still at least pretend to teach English in school.
Now repeat after me, Bush es malo, su casa es MI casa, América es malo…
(pssst….check it out…not an art class…an E-N-G-L-I-S-H class.)
Seriously, TOS, is this college your alma mater?
I agree with #49. Freedom of Speech only seems to apply to those on the left. During the extremely rare times a conservative is allowed to speak at a university they are routinely shouted down, have pies thrown at them, etc. Half-pint Mamoud can speak at Columbia but a Marine recruiter cannot.

You have a lot more faith in the “balance” than I do. Here’s an article describing some of the “art.” While some sound more subtle, none are described as having the bent you assume was present. As a bonus, here is the poster used to advertise the event. Balance? Nope.
Right on target, dejack.
Since the ’30s, the main mission of publicly funded Universities is to churn out leftists.

TOS bailing out his sinking boat.
You guys are killing me!
I often hear Rush speak of the “institute of advanced conservative studies”…
Seriously, is there any legitimate source that rates the agenda of schools? If not I see a great business opportunity.
jus sayin
#60 I think Berkeley puts one out.
N O T !
Young Americas Foundation has a ranking I think.
It’s good to have Feebie back.
feebiebabe,
Why are you so bent on calling this an English class assignment? Because Michelle said so? Cause the link to a small-time blog says so? Or maybe these blogs got it wrong…see Lan Astaslem’s link. Typical knee jerk blind faith reaction of so many MM commentors. Use a little common sense next time feebs.
How many Obama photoshoped posters have we seen on this sight? Have I gotten all bent out of shape over them? No.
I live in Albany, Oregon (home of LBCC) and my wife takes some classes there toward her biochemistry degree at Oregon State University in Corvallis.
Regarding some of the broad-brush statements above about the local area, I’d point out that LBCC is like most any other college: if you want to study your ass off you go to the science, math and engineering departments, and if you want to stay in touch with your inner child then the liberal arts programs are for you. My wife hasn’t mentioned encountering any kind of the foolishness on display in this “English” department, she’s been too busy staying up until 2:00 or 3:00 every night slogging through her chemistry and math homework.
As for Corvallis being some bastion of leftism, I beg to differ. Oregon State University has an earned reputation for being pretty conservative (it’s primarily an engineering and agricultural college). My wife constantly marvels at the large numbers of Navy, Air Force and Marine ROTC cadets in her classes there.
If you want to get caught in a place where it’s perpetually 1968, the University of Oregon in Eugene is the place to be. They don’t call the U of O “The Berkeley of the Northwest” for no reason: its denizens commonly refer to OSU students as “rednecks” at “Moo U.”
I went to the U of
ZeroO for both undergrad and law school; I saw Ronald Reagan give a speech there during his 1980 campaign, the purpose of his visit being that his campaign advisers felt he needed “more practice dealing with a hostile audience” (he got one, too). It’s also where I watched Gerald Ford get shouted down by a screaming mob during a speaking engagement, and where I witnessed a member of the “Revolutionary Communist Youth Brigade” hurl a gasoline-soaked, flaming yellow-dyed bedsheet at Victor Tomseth upon his return from being an Iranian hostage, his assailant shouting “Here’s your God-damned yellow ribbon!”Cut Corvallis and the science/math/engineering departments at LBCC some slack. They don’t deserve to be tarred for the actions of a distinct minority.
TOS,
Give it up already. Is there any context where making fun of a sitting president is considered acceptable?
Please look up the meaning of the word decorum.
Political satire is centuries old…wherever this has been organized goverment, there have been people poking fun at it. Are you telling me you never chuckled when a Bill Clinton joke was told?
66 Concerned Citizen re:”Is there any context where making fun of a sitting president is considered acceptable?”
Cast not your pearls…
Did they ever make a movie depicting the assassination of Willie while he was a sitting President.
Common sense?
OK, TOS…keep trying. Eventually you may fumble upon a worthy response to this…. MAYBE.
LMAO
Like your 3 idiotic post about how this was an English class? ROTFLMAO
Hey, who says it wasnt? Same observation can be made as to your ridiculous assumption that their were 30 students….
I you really that naive.
Were did I make that assumption? I questioned how many total students..4 out of 20, 4 out of 30? Reading comprehension is a lost art indeed.
It takes a village to raise an idiot.
Here’s one of the comments that caught my eye.
#67,
There is a significant difference between harmless jokes and political satire and the level of disrespect and vitriol being strewn about today.
There used to be a line between acceptable and unacceptable, but the left has erased it. Publishing classified documents and calling for assassinations are illegal and should be punished. Instead they are rewarded with praise and the perpetrators are cajoled for more.
The people doing these projects are choosing an easy target because they know they will gain the favor of their liberal professors, who claim to be teaching them to “be involved” and “express themselves”, when they ought to be teaching them respect and integrity.
You can defend their free speech or dismiss it as a minority of kids who don’t know better, but I see it as indicative of a bigger problem that will not end pretty.
I go back to my original point: What difference does it make if it is an English or Art class? The Bush Derangement Syndrom is so profound that those on the left don’t see it. A joke about Clinton? Sure, I’ve heard them and made a few myself. I laugh at SNLs satirizing of Bush too. But the level of pure hate for Bush on left is amazing. He is blamed for a MN bridge collapse, hurricane Katrina, CA wildfires. Movies are made about him spreading vicious lies. Books are written calling for his murder. A college class that apparently revels in portraying the president in this manner is a disgrace.
To: TheOtherSide, referring to some one’s post as idiotic is kinda like calling them an idiot. (Which actually means private)
Your apparent contempt for the ladies reveals much about you upbringing.
Apparently Concerned Citizen beat me to the punch. More eloquently too.
#78,
Thank you very much, but I assure you the eloquence was accidental.
TOS:
If you make an assumption…I’ll make an assumption…then we can all make assumptions.
It was an assumption, TOS. Who is being naive now.
Oh my God! Those students implied that a politician is like a monkey! That’s just racist, racist, racist, racist, racist, racist, racist, racist, racist, racist, racist, racist, racist, racist, racist, racist, racist, racist, racist, racist, racist, racist, racist, racist, racist, racist, racist, racist!
#75,
Kudos, I well stated post. I agree with all of it, with 2 excepions:
I think the fault is bipartisan. Ann Coulter? Also, there used to by a time when a President’s personal affairs were just that personal.
I guess I’m not as pessimistic as you on this issue.
It’s not a personal affair when it takes place in the Oval Office.
This may be a minor point but you can’t have the president involved in something that leaves him wide open for blackmail either.
Whoa! Who knew cnbc’s Erin “The-Monkey-in-the-Middle” Burnett had that much influence.
“Art” Degree + Community College Student = not very surprising
That almost sounds elitist.
Their actual student art page has some good stuff, but no indication whether this is or isn’t from an art class. If it’s from an English class it’s dopey. As art, while technically ok (the sculpture anyway) it’s derivative and boring (IMHO).
The liberals are working in the schools and it won’t be long before the “crop sown” ripens. They expect, soon, that the new generation will be so indoctrinated in socialist ideas that getting power and holding it will be easy. They see the day when the Constitutional government is ditched for a new government steeped in the marxist/communistic values that have failed before, but hope for a better result. More like a cult and utopia community, this country will sink into nothing more than a society dependent on the hew leaders for everything.
Too much Steyn in your diet Douglass.
Too many fruit loops in yours TOS!
I have to call BS on that one Regulus, I lived in Cornvalley for two years prior to moving to Albany (in large part to get away from the moonbats that populate it) If you think OSU isn’t every bit as liberal as U of O you’re either in denial or walk around with blinders on. OSU and the city are birds of a feather. I remember my first year there seeing a protest/parade of militant lesbians around the OSU campus and what struck me was their advocating violence towards men, while supposedly protesting violence. I’ve seen that school take nice, sweet little farm girls from eastern Oregon and turn them in to moonbat, man hating lesbian’s by their sophomore year.
OSU is alot of things, but conservative, even in the remotest sense of the word, isn’t one of them. And the fact that LBCC is a 10 minute drive west on 34 should tell you something. OSU offers a class on ‘white privilege in America’ I would bet so does LBCC. I even saw an OSU student write to the editorial page of the Albany Democrat-Herald a year or two ago that ownership and driving of a gas powered car was, among other -isms and -ists, racist. Owning and driving a car was racist!!! And he learned this type of bovine scaterology at OSU.
So please, stop trying to delude the nice people here that OSU is some bastion of conservatism in the middle of moonbat central, it’s not. Is U of O worse? I think it is, but certainly not by much.
However that being said, I am still planning to move back to Oregon and live out my remaining days there witin the next 2-3 years and I am, and always will be, a Beaver backer. Go Beavs!!!
I’m impressed with how elaborate a conspiracy you manage to draw from three paintings and two sculptures.
College President: windsor@linnbenton.edu
College Vice President: kings@linnbenton.edu
Admissions Office: admissions@linnbenton.edu
Exec VP Academic Affairs: lodgej@linnbenton.edu
Email addresses don’t match current personnel listed as President (Rita Cavin), VP (Mike Holland), or Executive VP Academic Affairs (Carol Schaafsma).
Quality education? Let’s start with a quality webmaster for the school.
It is not a ‘personal’ affair to perjure oneself to a grand jury. Repeatedly.
I guess it would be impolitic to say that, based on the haircut, the first one looked a bit more like BHO?
The important difference is that Ms. Coulter is not teaching students. Her sarcastic and pithy remarks are the venue of editorials mostly frequented by adults.
I disagree: teaching students to parrot a teacher’s bias is disturbing on several levels, approaching the level of what certain fascist regimes tried to impose on their children.
Brainwashing and indoctrination are brainwashing and indoctrination, regardless of who is doing it.
These aren’t 5th graders…they are college students (adults). How can you claim they are parroting a teacher’s bias? Bush’s approval rating is under 30%…are you suggesting that more than 70% of this country has been brainwashed and indoctrinated?
I can’t speak to the effort that these students put in their projects, but I know plenty of college students who would prefer not to argue with their professor’s ideology and who would thus be likely to pick a project with which their professor would agree, with the hopes that it would get them a better grade.
I’m not saying that some of these students DON’T hate George Bush, just that some of them are probably just at that point in the semester where they don’t want to think too much about their schoolwork. I’m definitely there–I should be working on a term paper…
And also: how can you claim that they aren’t parroting their teacher’s bias? There aren’t any signs on those monkeys or propaganda posters* that say, “I sincerely hate George Bush and think he is the worst thing ever to happen to the country and the world.”
*I say “propaganda posters” because that is the style of posters which these works mimic. I am not saying that these are propaganda posters
even though they totally areor that I don’t believe that the right wing has ever used propaganda.Yep folks. This is our future generation.
Aren’t you all proud?
Call it BDS, but part of the blame here rests with President Bush himself.
And not in the way you might think. President Bush threw away a large percentage of his base with his insane Amnesty efforts. He called for example the Minutemen (a group you can be sure who had many a “W” bumpersticker) vigilantees and did so while standing next to America Bashing, Mexican President Fox.
Do that and other nonconservative matters (working with Kennedy, spending, etc.) and you lose your base.
Lose your base and that weakens you to such an extent that the bottom falls out. People that once defended you, simply don’t care that much. The chic of being tired of the administration grows and grows. The left is emboldened.
Bush had he stayed true to conservative issues, had he truly fought for real borders, stayed the course on not just Iraq but other issues would not be where he is today.
He would have many of the same wingnut hatemongers sure, but he would be holding I am sure somewhere in the 50s with regard to the polls.
#100 jellibean
If you keep putting in disclaimers, the trolls won’t ever have a comeback. Then we’ll be stuck with the seagull.
Concerned Citizen:
LOL true. I just thought it was necessary for me to make a distinction between using “propaganda” as a neutral adjective and as CRAZY RIGHT WING RHETORIC OMG!
I have homework to do and didn’t want to get in a stupid fight over something that had little to do with what I actually said.
timinphoenix: Good point.
BlameAmericaLast: I’m a member of this “Future Generation” too! Don’t write us all off just yet!
You strike at the heart of the problem: it didn’t start in college. Or high school. Or junior high. Or even elementary school. These kids are being hit right from preschool and kindergarten. Sit down and watch morning cartoons.
Sure, Bush’s “approval ratings” are low. But the Democrat “led” Congress (you know, the most honest, transparent, blah blah, blah Congress ever) has approval ratings that average around 20% (http://www.pollingreport.com/CongJob.htm)
So where are the caricatures of Pelosi and Reid? If the approval ratings are your basis for the rank idiocy displayed by these individuals, then there is more than ample reason for Congressional leaders to be similarly caricatured.
Where are they?
Hmmmm…..seems the stream of creative thought at LBCC has become a stagnant pool of vacuousness.
.
Could not agree more. I am still ticked off about that. And McCain will be worse.
That being said, I really don’t think that last summer’s amnesty fight was what influenced these students to do the caricatures in question.
Right, then the graduates get their first paycheck and see all of the deductions taken out for the “socialism” they espoused while in school.
Grow up, Otherside your problem is you think everyone is stupid.
I can’t wait till they do one of Jesus Christ, I am sure they are brave enough to do that. The question is how brave are they if they did the Prophet Mohammand. My hunch is that they would back off on Mohammand and have no qualms on doing Jesus Christ,, no not at all.
In an error riddled #72, TOS said “Reading comprehension is a lost art indeed”.
You demonstrate that spelling is also.
I don’t think everyone is stupid. I do think that about 33% of MM.com commentors are blindly misinformed.
Actually, I think I demonstrate that proofreading is a lost art. lol Nice to have the grammer/spelling police chime in though.
-A-R, OtherSide. G-R-A-M-M-A-R.
(I hate attacks on spelling and grammar, but that one misspelling drives me up the wall. I blame Fourth Grade Spelling class.)
Why is it people such as yourself never seem to comprehend that freedom of expression isn’t very impressive when the supposed thinking that went into the expression is always the same.
That sounds
vaguely almost sorta kinda a little somewhatelitist.Not that feebs (or any other commenter here) needs any help but…
1. Show us an example of common sense.
We can wait all night if you like.
2. Last I checked MM wasn’t supported by taxpayers.
33% of us are blindly misinformed, as I recall. Sounds like 1/3 of us do need help!
He probably had to take an art elective this semester.
Would love to, but 0430 comes early in Seattle. Cheers. Have fun with our resident liberal defender.
Dear TOS:
I am feeling a bit “passed over.” What is your reply to my commentary in #105?
I addressed your conclusions with facts and poked big holes in your theory. I would really like to hear your response.
Sincerely,
Dimsdale
TOS:
By the way, is there an Official Village Voice Election-Season Guide to the Left-Wing Blogosphere?
I am sure it would be as pithy and informative as the Right Wing guide.
Question: If I made a sculpture of a monkey with Obama’s head, wouldn’t I be charged with racism?
(Or with sexism if I did Hillary?)_
The other 67% are not trolls.
Have you been to college? You do realize that these young, misinformed adults have to ‘parrot’ to get the grade? I knew that when I attended, and that was years ago. And my grades suffered. Especially if I contradicted one of the instructors, or, *gasp*, pointed out an error in their presentation.
TOS!!
Does this mean I win?
My most politically outspoken professors were in Biology 101 (Global Warming nut) and Psychology of Religion (harped on and on about the war in Iraq…) Other than that, I’ve been lucky not to have professor pushing their political agendas (I’m a Poli Sci major) and have never been hesitant to offer differing opinions.
Maybe all the liberal professors here have just given up since I go to a Southern university…
My point was regarding ‘parroting’ to make it through college. I went to a small, liberal-arts college in Virginia during the Reagan years! Aside from being taught by hippies in some cases, very few ‘political’ lines in the sand were drawn.
Actually, I kind of liked the monkey. It cries out for captions: “Where’d my base go?” Or, “What part of fiscal responsibility don’t me understand?”
Granted, the Nazi stuff is the usual pile of leftist horse doo, but there might be a Republican pony in there somewhere.
…or else they just keep quiet so their lib pals in other cities don’t know.
Sorta like a liberal shopping at Wal-Mart after 9pm, so their friends don’t find out.
*snicker* Nice.
Judging by TOS’s reticence to come back and defend his talking points, I guess I do indeed win!
As one Harry S. Truman said: “I never give them hell. I just tell the truth and they think it’s hell.”
