  1. Good work, gentlemen. Your tiny sample size from the Facebook event wall is a firm basis for your yellow journalism headline. I want to play this exaggeration game too:

    “Students Express Opinions, Campus Wingnuts Go Into Full Defensive Mode.”

    Or maybe I’ll tone it down.

    “Students Write on Facebook Wall, Blog Draws Generalizing Opinion.”

  2. Not exactly a “tiny” sample size, there “Student.” It’s about half the comments. Besides, what fun would it be to not poke at the Lefties a little bit? Why so serious?

  3. oh hold on, we’ll just conduct a multivariate regression study for you

    …or we can just bet you $100 that hateful people across campus will continue to make baseless accusations against the man, insult his appearance, etc.

  4. Mr. Devine,
    Take a statistics course (any of them should do), and when the professor mentions “self-selectivity” please pay careful attention as to why this creates a fallible sample (even if it’s huge…)

  5. Congratulations Cornell Review, you’ve determined that a lot of people hate Karl Rove, potentially even more than hate Keith Olbermann. What do you want, the Pulitzer? Get over yourselves.

  6. If this is the kind of reaction a joke about kids taking themselves too seriously on the Facebook page for a campus event featuring Mr. Rove gets (fyi, another student has posted on the wall since this post went up with a rant about the political strategist is a “WAR CRIMINAL” in, fittingly, all caps), I can only imagine how the small, but very vocal, subset of the progressive community on campus that isn’t willing to listen to the other side or try to get something out of a speaker with a pretty impressive background simply because he played for the other team is going to act when he’s actually here speaking. I, for one, don’t “hate” people whose political beliefs I don’t share. That includes Keith Olbermann. In fact, I think he’s pretty funny (albeit most of the time unintentionally) and beneath the pretentious grandstanding is probably a good guy who cares about this country. For goodness sake, weren’t you guys the ones giving us the lecture about “toning down” political rhetoric for the last three months?

  7. You pinkos really need to take the proverbial “chill pill.” I said I was poking some fun at the original commentator, Other Student. As for our aforementioned Pulitzer Prize, they gave one to Roger Ebert for watching movies and one to Upton Sinclair for spewing commie drivel err…. “journalism on the meat industry,” so why shouldn’t we get one? 😉

  8. So we’ll see you on the 13th with all the other lovely and deeply respectful members of the Cornell community?
