OK, so read this & tell me what you think is wrong with it...
I will chime in with my two cents after I hear what you think.
"The evil fascist Mormon monster is raising its Joseph Smithian head again. The tale involves BYU, Sweet Dick Cheney, a protest and some ugly Provo backlash. Sit your non-Latter Day ass down because this one is scary.
Earlier this month it was announced that BYU had scored a beast of a commencement speaker: Dick Cheney. Then, in a shocking development, BYU students actually held a protest. You have to be particularly horrible for students at BYU to protest you. Think rape or Hitler or a raping Hitler.
Mormons own BYU and students claim by inviting Cheney to speak, the church is supporting Republicans, even though the church says it has no political allegiance. The protest drew a couple hundred students, who held signs and passed out flyers.
Predictably, there was a counter protest. Who doesn't love to protest a protest? And why wasn't there a counter-counter protest? In one of the lamest counter protests ever, the Cheney supporters passed out brownies and asked students to sign a letter thanking Cheney. They also said things that were so retarded it is astounding.
"He's not going to use it as a political forum," senior Bob Reese said of the commencement speech. "He's an example of success."
The original 200 protesters were not treated all that well by their Mormon campus. They were forced to stay in a designated area, were not allowed to shout and were only given two hours. When the official protest time was up, the Mormonofascists moved in.
As soon as 1:00 hit and the time for free speech expired, after an impromptu performance of the Star Spangled Banner by the BYU Democrats, men from BYU dressed in suits and sunglasses with Secret Service-style earpieces roughly rounded up all of the signage and banners. "You'll be able to use it all again. We're just going to keep it for you. So you don't carry it around campus, we'll take it to a safe place until the next designated protest."
The students then decided to hold their own "alternative commencement" ceremony because they didn't want to hear Grendel speak. The group found a location, Dixon Middle School, and it was announced Ralph Nader (grandpa cranky) would speak. But the Mormonofascists are being, well, fascists.
When Provo School District officials heard about the plan they cancelled it - a move that actually violates school policy. A school district spokesman said they were not allowing any "protests" to take place on school grounds. The city of Provo does not allow reservations at city parks until May 1st.
So, there you go, you fucking first amendment loving bastards. You like it? Huh? How about a little more. Joe Vogal, a masters student reports he received an ugly email from a business leader in Provo.
Now BYU Alternative Commencement has received an email from a local businesswoman named Denise Harman, who claims that all BYU students participating in activities against Dick Cheney are being tracked by local businesses. "Many businesses are noting the names involved," she says.
"You are being tagged as trouble makers and added to massive 'Do Not Hire' lists," says Denise Harman, who hires hundreds of graduates every year. She adds curtly, "Just thought you should know that activities have consequences."
Mormonofascism at its best.
FearTheReaper believes Utah is barely a part of the United States, though he did enjoy his time this year at Sundance where he appeared in a film - because he is multi-talented. Tonight he will be appearing at the Irvine Improv."
