Creepy older guys protest Obama's commencement speech at Notre Dame

It's telling that the pro-life guys doing the protesting are both men who clearly didn't graduate recently. I'm all for public protests, but there's an astroturf quality to some of these religious right protests, and conservative protests overall. You'd think, if the students were truly upset that Obama was coming to their school, that some - uh - students themselves might protest?



Note from Joe: "Creepy older guys" is a term that describes too many priests and other leaders of the Catholic Church -- and most of their allies in the right wing (Tony Perkins, for example). This whole episode is a sad commentary on the Catholic Church in America. And, my mother, a solid Catholic, agrees (although she wouldn't use the term "creepy older guys.")
