Feb 25, 2010 was a good day at UCSB. Criminal Karl Rove was vigorously protested, walked out on, and pursued by student demonstrators who refused to remain passive while the university hosts, and the Obama admin protects, people like Rove. Below are only a handful of the media outlets the event was covered in. It sparked broader debate about the viability of protest and resistance to what’s done in our names, and started to get a better "polarization" going, keeping in mind the contradictory sentiments among students that recent investigations in Revolution newspaper have been portraying and analyzing.
This was all about breaking out of "the thoughtless who never doubt and the thoughtful who never ACT." Remember, Feb 25, 1970, William Kunstler spoke on the UCSB campus, a progressive professor was sacked, and black student leaders took over a building. Feb 26, 1970, students rioted and burned down a local bank. The Campus Republicans picked a good date on which to invite Rove and unite progressive forces on campus. Dead Prez even performed the same night, and did a panel with Students For Justice in Palestine that afternoon, in which they encouraged students to be creative in their protest against Rove. Enjoy!

Karl Rove presents and signs Courage and Consequence
From the moment he set foot on it, Karl Rove has rocked America’s
political stage. He ran the national College Republicans at
twenty-two, and turned a Texas dominated by Democrats into a bastion
for Republicans. He launched George W. Bush to national renown by
unseating a popular Democratic governor, and then orchestrated a GOP
White House win at a time when voters had little reason to throw out
the incumbent party. For engineering victory after unlikely victory,
Rove became known as “the Architect.” Because of his success, Rove has
been attacked his entire career, accused of everything from campaign
chicanery to ideological divisiveness.

This is fantastic! It’s nice to see that not everybody has forgotten Karl Rove’s many war crimes as he attempts to white wash his legacy with his memoir.
those interested should check out the grassroots rock LP compilation designed to culture jam his memoir.
