One man who should never be booed

During a speech at the markedly liberal "New School" (a college, supposedly), Senator John McCain was booed. Some students and faculty went as far as to stand up and turn their backs.

It's odd to me that someone who has been lauded as a bi-partisan champion of responsible lawmaking could be so coldly received. Sure, he spoke at Liberty University, Jerry Falwell's breeding ground for idiot conservative robots, but the text of the speech showed that McCain is an honest, responsible man. That's something that can't be said for most of the members of his party.

In fact, his speech at the New School wasn't too different from the one he gave at Liberty. The difference was the crowd. I can understand not liking the guy, and I can understand a protest, but for God's sake, I will never understand why people in my generation must act like complete imbeciles. It speaks poorly of all of us.
