University of Michigan student body president, assistant state attorney general face off in court Monday


Excerpt from article:
"Shirvell was one of a handful of paid consultants on Cox’s reelection campaign as he ran for attorney general. Campaign finance records show Cox’s campaign paid Shirvell $13,478.42 in fees and reimbursements from August to November 2006.

Campaign finance records also show Shirvell has given more than $400 in donations to Cox campaigns, including Cox’s unsuccessful run for governor this year."

Gay pride sticker sparks controversy at pizzeria

Excerpt from the article....
"...Wright said that Shirvell does not have any official status as a spokesman for the church and that Shirvell’s view on this matter is in opposition to the majority of the parish.
Wright added that of the people he had spoken to about Shirvell’s statements, he could not find many who agreed with him.
“Most of the people — at least of the people I’m at work with — more were outraged and indignant about (Shirvell’s) posture than (the sticker itself),” he said..."




2 Other faces for the Hall of SHAME! Dharun Ravi and Molly Wei


Dharun Ravi and Molly Wei, who knew each other in high school college,  have been charged with invasion of privacy. Ravi had even tweeted that he watched his livestream of Tyler Clementi from a computer in Wei's room. Both Ravi and Wei face up to five years in jail.

Tyler Clementi comitted suicide by jumping off the George Washington bridge as a result of Ravi's and Wei's hateful actions.

Shame of the two of you. Hopefully other charges and civil lawsuits will be brought against you two.

Mike Cox Backtracks, Andrew Shirvell To Face Hearing For Attacks On Gay Student

Mike Cox Backtracks, Andrew Shirvell To Face Hearing For Attacks On Gay Student

Published: October 02, 2010

Michigan Attorney General Mike Cox has reversed himself, saying Friday that Andrew Shirvell will face a disciplinary hearing for attacking gay student Chris Armstrong.

The Detroit Free Press reported Friday that Cox will look into Shirvell's actions after all.

Shirvell is facing mounting criticism and calls for his immediate resignation after he appeared on CNN's Anderson Cooper 360 on Wednesday to defend his actions.
Shirvell began attacking Armstrong after he was elected president of the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor Student Assembly in April. He's criticized and belittled Armstrong at Chris Armstrong Watch, a website he runs, now sealed off behind a password protected page.

The University of Michigan has banned Shirvell from its campus. And Armstrong, 21, has filed a personal protection order against him.
Earlier this week, Cox called Shirvell's actions “offensive,” but defended his right to express his opinions.

“He's clearly a bully. Absolutely,” Cox, a Republican, told Anderson Cooper. “And is he using the Internet to be a bully? Yes. But is that protected under the First Amendment of the United States Constitution? Yes.”
Cox now reasons that the university's actions, among other things, justifies disciplinary action.
“Standing outside anyone's home in the middle of the night … is not an action he would recommend to any state employee,” John Sellek, a Cox spokesman, told the Detroit Free Press.

University officials and students have rallied to Armstrong's side. Its president, Mary Sue Coleman, decried the attacks in a statement: “As a community we must not and will not accept displays of intolerance.”


“Chris, your mother and I are thinking of you every minute,” Steve Armstrong wrote. “We cannot begin to express the pride we feel in your strength, intelligence and leadership.”

Explain why Shirvell was using government computers for personal attacks???

Michigan Log Cabin Republican Treasurer, Tyler Whitney has again been the victim of lewd and harassing email by Andrew Shirvell

Explain how Mr Shrivell was allowed to use government computers for harassment and stalking purposes? In corporate America this isn't allowed....Why is it allowed at our governmental level? I don't believe it is. Mr Shirvell and Mike Cox just feel they are above the law.

Michigan Log Cabin Republican Treasurer, Tyler Whitney has again been the victim of lewd and harassing email by Andrew Shirvell who Michigan Messenger reported works in the appellate division of Michigan Attorney General Mike Cox’s office.

You would think that the below emails were sent by militantly anti-gay Pastor of Westboro Baptist Church, Fred Phelps.

Be aware before you continue that the emails are very lewd and unbecoming of a government employee of his rank.
This first email is in response to the fake Log Cabin Republican email that went out last week whom we believe to have been sent out by a Kim Meltzer for State Senate operative. Below is Shirvell’s response to the email:

You all are sick freaks.  Absoluetly shameful, Leon.  Your e-mail is beyond offensive.  The grassroots will NEVER let you and your butt-buddies Tyler Whitney, Joe Sylvester, and James Justin(e) Wilson hijack our pro-life, pro-family party in pursuit of your PERVERTED radical homosexual agenda.
P.S. Justin(e), a persistant rumor in D.C. circles is that you and Illinois Log Cabin “Republican” Congress”man” Aaron Schock hooked-up together.  Sick.  Sick.  SICK!!!!!  Does your homosexual lover Steve know?  Freak.

The second email is a follow up to the first:

Miss Whitney: Shut the f—-up, f–.  Got it?  Good!

Also, for the record, what I do on my own time – during lunch or here at home – is my business.  Stop trying to intimidate me and block my 1st Amendment right to speak out against your group’s wickedly insane agenda.  You might remember a certain member of your group – Jason Vorva – sent out a disgusting hit piece about AG Cox last fall.  So, if I were you or Justin(e), I’d shut the f—-up and stop your whining.  I’m just so sick of your bull**** lies!!  Your non-stop persecution of Christians like me, AG Cox, Paul Scott, and Glenn Clark is disgusting.  Why are you even in the GOP?  You’re nothing but a couple of perverted, spoiled rich kids who’d rather d— around than man-up.

That’s it; I’m done wasting my time with you two vermin.

Andrew,Are you deranged enough to actually think that was sent out with Leon’s consent by the actual LCRs?While we’ve never met, I always appreciate our exchanges.  At least you don’t hide behind a fake address like Glenn Clark.
Hugs,
Tyler

Ellen DeGeneres her Emotional Plea: Stop Teenage Bullying (VIDEO)

"Ellen DeGeneres said she is "devastated" over the death of Rutgers student Tyler Clementi, who killed himself after he was outed as gay over the internet.
DeGeneres made an emotional plea Thursday to stop teenage bullying following a series of teens committing suicide after having been teased or bullied:

"Something must be done," she said. "This needs to be a wake-up call to everyone: teenage bullying and teasing is an epidemic in this country, and the death rate is climbing. One life lost in this senseless way is tragic. Four lives lost is a crisis. And these are just the stories we hear about. How many other teens have we lost? How many others are suffering in silence? Being a teenager and figuring out who you are is hard enough without someone attacking you."

Ellen said that her "heart is breaking for their families, their friends and for a society that continues to let this happen."

She added, "These kids needed us. We have an obligation to change this. There are messages everywhere that validate this kind of bullying and taunting and we have to make it stop. We can't let intolerance and ignorance take another kid's life." ..."
