"Chelsea is just one in the surge of political speakers for different candidates, a trend which may prove to diminish the university’s reputation of political apathy."
Besides the incorrectness in grammar, the logic in the statement is faulty. Moreover, the university has a history of hosting presidential candidates on campus. In 2000, Green Party candidate Ralph Nader and Democratic Party nominee Al Gore spoke on campus on separate occasions. In 2004, Democratic Party nominee John Kerry, whose wife sits on the board of Carnegie Mellon, held a rally on campus. Jon Bon Jovi, former Pittsburgh Steeler Franco Harris, Liz Berlin and Jen Wertz of the band Rusted Root, and actor Ted Danson (CFA 1972) were active participants in the Kerry rally.

In this Passover week-People should remember the Holocaust--but people should also mention that words matter--words--hateful words blaming others--can kill. When a Community Leader with a congregation of 7,000 blames Jews, "Dirty Jews" "Devil Jews" for the problems of African Americans. We can NOT look the other way; we can not say he is a 'silly relative' and pretend we did not hear. We must stand up; we must say 'NO". Senator Obama listened to hate speech about Jews, Italians and white people generally for twenty years. Far from just the snippets heard on the nightly news, Wright's sermons (and those of Obama's other "mentor" Rev. James Meeks are laden with invective toward Jews and white people. His church is based on the writings of Rev. James Cone called "Black Liberation Theology". Google it. See for yourself. I say no to anti-semitism. I say "NO' to hate. I say 'NO' to Obama who thinks he can hoodwink us into believing he did not know.
