Many other sources reported that recruiters were still allowed on campus; they just didn't have the cooperation of the OCS that they used to. Your continuing to point to this information to supposedly support your position does not change that FOX falsely reported that there was a full campus ban of recruiters.

Even Media Matters has not given up on this particular challenge after seeing all of the DOD emails.<br /><br />Each one of the following questions have been answered by the emails, which describe a military recruiting ban by Kagan and HLS.<br /><br />• Were military recruiters allowed to interview students on campus? No, they were explicitly denied permission.<br /><br />• Were military recruiters given any mechanism for interacting with candidate students on campus? No. The third-party organization information was not provided them in time to recruit effectively.<br /><br />• Were military recruiters given permission to visit the campus in any recruiting capacity? No, they were refused permission.<br /><br />• Were military recruiters even allowed to send in job openings for posting on a freaking law school bulletin board? No.<br /><br />• Did the military believe their access to students was cut off? Yes.<br /><br />• Did Kagan herself believe she had effectively cut off access to her students because of DADT? Yes.<br /><br />• Was Kagan openly "hostile" to the idea of the military recruiting on campus? Yes.<br /><br />• Did the military spend months trying to figure out how to get access to recruits? Yes.<br /><br />• Did the military finally have to escalate, getting the USG to threaten to cut off $300 million in funding, before they could get access to students? Yes.<br /><br />Case closed, Mr. Rocket Scientist.directorbluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00205733284944340787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6034478.post-2666905982832068302011-01-08T11:53:20.967-05:002011-01-08T11:53:20.967-05:00All of Media Matters four attempts at documenting ...All of Media Matters four attempts at documenting FNC lies are pwnt <a href="http://directorblue.blogspot.com/2011/01/media-matters-beclowns-itself-anew.html" rel="nofollow"><b>here, in this monumental beclownment of the Soros-funded, Marxist front group</b></a>.directorbluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00205733284944340787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6034478.post-83381529401392584762011-01-08T02:09:18.548-05:002011-01-08T02:09:18.548-05:00Doug,

For example, is a college has a Ban on Vodka then no vodka will be allowed on campus, if they ban clowns then no clowns or people dressed like clowns will be allowed on campus.

One of the commenters here said what you apparently can't understand:<br /><br />###<br /><br />On the statement of Megyn Kelly: "[T]he criticism of Kagan is that while she was dean of Harvard Law School, and she was dean in 2003, she decided to continue a policy of banning the military from the campus because they didn't like the Don't Ask, Don't Tell policy." - Well, was there criticism of Kagan in this regard? Seem to me there was, therefore Kelly’s statement is TRUE.<br /><br />On the statement of Bret Baier: "The top Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee has asked the Pentagon about its recruitment efforts at Harvard while Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan was dean of the law school there. Kagan barred recruiters in protest of the Don't Ask, Don't Tell policy." - Two parts here - Did the top Republican on the Committee ask the Pentagon about its efforts? I see nothing showing he didn’t, so that part is TRUE. Did Kagan bar recruiters in protest of the Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell policy? Seems the evidence indicates that was the case, so no lie there. And if that was not a lie then it would mean on the whole Baier’s statement was TRUE.<br /><br />Carl Cameron‘s statement: "In the Clinton White House, she recommended compromised policies that worry conservatives over abortion and guns. As dean of the Harvard Law School, she made headlines supporting a controversial wartime ban on campus military recruitment."<br />- Two parts to this also… Did she recommend compromised policies on abortion and guns? Yes, so TRUE to this. And when she was dean at Harvard Law School did she make headlines concerning said ban? Yes, she did. Part two is TRUE also.<br /><br />It would seem to me that Mr. Gertz should understand more about what he’s talking about before making such claims.<br /><br />###directorbluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00205733284944340787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6034478.post-55660277595670257052011-01-05T20:22:38.610-05:002011-01-05T20:22:38.610-05:00Wow.

The way you have judged the primary quote from Media matters has demonstrated this.<br /><br /><i>CNN: Kagan banned military recruiters from using Harvard Law's Office of Career Services, but not from campus.<br /><br />Sessions: Kagan banned military recruiters from using Harvard Law's Office of Career Services, but not from campus<br /><br />The source Ross cited to support Fox: Kagan banned military recruiters from using Harvard Law's Office of Career Services, but not from campus.</i><br /><br />And everything I have read thus far stats the same thing. <br /><br />But how you you respond? you just will keep digging until you will fine SOMEONE who will say something different, then presto chango you win. You judging this challenge is like the couch of a basketball team also being the head Referee. <br /><br />BTW, if you said that I have banned clowns from coming to my birthday party and you have the testimony from one or two clowns that said that they were not allowed at said party then is you first statement true? <br /><br />Using simply logic I know it could be, in order to confirm that I have banned clown then you will need to prove that my verbal and or written policy is that all clowns should be banned.<br /><br /><b>The testimony of DOD recruiters does not prove your case, you need to go further and show that they where BANNED as a method of policy. Your own link from the christian science monitor works against you, for one second do you believe that the SCM would leave our the HUGH BOMBSHELL that they were BANNED? Of course they would not, and in the link it simply does not say they were banned!</b> <br /><br />So, until you have shown that then I don't see any reason why I would put up my submission.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6034478.post-57914184075917478562011-01-05T19:12:06.270-05:002011-01-05T19:12:06.270-05:00@Anon 6:10,
