NY Times reporter Chris Hedges was booed off the stage while attempting to deliver the commencement address at Rockford College. Here is the text of the speech.

Hedges' speech was the usual leftist tripe. It was silly, inappropriate and offensive. What else would you expect from a New York Times prize-winning prevaricator?

But he shouldn't have been stopped from speaking. He shouldn't have had his microphone unplugged. Turn your back. Hold a sign that says "Hedges Fabricates Stories," but conservatives shouldn't be doing what they complain liberals do to them. That's a quick and unnecessary way to lose the moral high-ground.
