@Rob Lowe

The real Rob Lowe (and I’m speaking of his West Wing character) is way cooler than you.

Whether or not you agree with Ryan’s policies, it was disrespectful to interrupt a U.S. Congressman after he took time out of what was almost certainly a very busy schedule to make a voluntary address. The University is a poor host to those who do not share the opinion of a vocal minority and has developed a well-earned reputation for intellectual intolerance. Apparently the administration isn’t cognizant of the tangible ramifications these sorts of immature stunts have on the overall welfare of the school and its students.

i guarantee that if you were jobless and struggling to feed your children due to cuts to welfare programs, you would have no opposition to people protesting Paul Ryan

@Seriously? Do you really know that? You really claim to know the extent of someone’s suffering based on whether agree with protest? That’s an amazing talent!

SMH, you are !00% right. Thank God that there are those at Georgetown who are not afraid to state the truth even if it is unpopular with many.

all congress does is sit around and have “real discussions” on these issues and it gets us nowhere. sometimes our government needs to feel pressure from citizens who are suffering from the negative effects of their silly bantering and policies that are too watered down to actually help anyone so that we can actually get somewhere. as someone who grew up in a poor community, i know that real people’s situations can be too dire to just sit around and wait quietly while elected officials have never-ending dialogues that change nothing. it amuses me when people get on some moral high ground and criminalize protest, because i know that the only people who do that are people who have never had to truly suffer due to heartless policies like Paul Ryan’s.

Congratulations on completely ignoring the point of that quote. Whether he is held in high regard or not by GU Occupy, his words there are incredibly pertinent to what happened today and has been happening.

If you think that Barack Obama is GU Occupy’s Messiah, then you have no understanding of the movement either nationally or at Georgetown.
