More Bitching From Ryan Alexander About The Warrior

UPDATE: Yeah! This The Office of Homeland Security's 500th Post!

I do not know how I could forget this but the second full issue of The Warrior newspaper has been released.

Along with it comes more bitching from Ryan Alexander and his weblog 1832.

Here is what he had to say …

I got back into Milwaukee late last night and was greeted this morning by the newest edition of Marquette College Republican's publication called The Warrior.

Brandon at GOP3.com said it best that Alexander just wants to continue perpetrating the lie that the College Republicans are funding publication when in fact they have done no such thing and that The Warrior is independently funded by advertisements.

The first thing that I noticed about The Warrior today is that like its one page "special issue" that went out before Thanksgiving break, their circulation seems to be way down from their first issue as I didn't see any of the Republicans passing it out during my class changes, saw very few people walking around with it, saw few people with a copy in the Library or in any of my classes, and as a result it took me awhile to find a discarded copy to pick up.

Another lie from Alexander. What a surprise! He assumes that their publication numbers are down when in fact they are quite the opposite. They went from 2000 copies of the independent newspaper last issue to over 4000 this time around. I’m no math major or anything but that seems like an increase to me, doesn’t it Ryan? I saw Brandon Henak, Diana Sroka, Sarah Kirby, Mary Ellen Burke, and several others passing out copies of The Warrior several times over the course of my school day on Wednesday. First when I was heading to Schroeder for lunch at around 11:30am then when I went to Biology for Non-Science Majors at 1:50pm and then again when I returned home from my Biology class at 2:30pm. Alexander must be blind (fill in your own insult here) because I saw numerous people carrying a copy of the independent newspaper with them.

Their circulation seems to be down for a few reasons: 1) The paper has been rightfully discredited and exposed as a right-wing talking piece rather than a truly independent news source; 2) Its really cold out, which means few students are going to take the time to stop, remove their hands from their jacket pockets, and take a copy when they want to get indoors as quickly as possible; 3) The fact that its really cold out means fewer of the Republicans are willing to stand outside for a extended periods of time distributing their right-wing propaganda piece.

How typical. Just like when he attempted to discredit me with his arrogant accusations, he wants in his mind to believe that he is making a difference when in fact his best option to begin with would have been to shut-up about entirely. Instead, thanks to his ambigious ranting he has caused a sensational amount of free publicity for the independent publication, more then any amount of advertisement spending could have garnered them. Thank you Mr. Alexander, thank you!

It is trying to mislead people into thinking that JUSTICE supports The Warrior, which it most certainly does not (JUSTICE was one of the main organizations against the university changing the nickname back to "Warriors").

He doesn’t seem to get humor either, unless of course it is making fun at the expense of our Lord, Jesus Christ. Then it’s funny to him. That’s the communists for you.

Needless to say it will be interesting to see how JUSTICE reacts to this.

Yes, it will be interesting to see them get off their asses and attempt to actually accomplish something. Can’t argue with that.
