Clinton will be making two visits to the early caucus state of Nevada this fall, once in September and once in October:

http://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/211311-no-plans-to-slow-down-from-clinton

The latter is at UNLV, where she'll be charging a speaking fee of $225,000.  This has prompted protests from some students over the exorbitant amount of $ that the school is shelling out for her.

I bet it's the College Republicans leading that protest. Why do they hate the free market? Why do they hate and envy successful wealthy people?

Right, because its not like UNLV could've done anything to benefit its students with that $225,000 it decided to throw away paying Hillary Clinton to speak there

The point of my post was that it's funny how Republicans criticize Democrats for being "envious" of the wealthy and starting class warfare, but they have no problem crying about it when a wealthy person happens to be a Democrat.

Besides, $225k is a drop in the bucket of a college's budget. It's like complaining about foreign aid and earmarks, which comprise <1% of our current budget.

[tmthforu94]

$225,000 could pay the in-state tuition for nearly 40 students at UNLV. Perhaps the problem with our college system today is that $225,000 is considered "a drop in the bucket."

Let's recap: According to your super-duper secret sources, only UNLV students who are members of College Republicans could possibly object to Hillary Clinton getting paid over $200,000 to give a generic speech whose details will be completely forgotten in two weeks rather than spending the money on something even remotely benefiting any of the students at UNLV.  Furthermore, Republicans clearly believe Democrats protesting high prices are "socialist, communist, nazi heathens" even though the only person making this absurd claim is IceSpear.  Ergo, Deus' point is invalid because he believes Democrats protesting high prices are  "socialist, communist, nazi heathens," never mind that Deus is a Libertarian and not a Republican.  Somehow Icespear's logic now makes even less sense than it did when I started this post

Yeah, I'm sure all these Republicans who want to abolish pell grants and student loans are oh so concerned about how they could be using $225,000 to help students instead of spending it on a speech.

When did I say he was a Republican? I'm just pointing out the hypocrisy that many of these people whining about how the college is "wasting" money would have no problem doing it for a Republican making a commencement speech, and also have no problem with colleges wasting much bigger sums on money on frivolous matters. It's a matter of politics, not principle.

I didn't say all of them were, but no doubt they're the ones who are the most outraged. It's not a coincidence that nobody cared about this speaking fee nontroversy until a few weeks ago when the Republicans desperately needed an anti-Hillary narrative. As stated in that very article, nobody seemed to care when she got an even bigger amount from speaking at UCLA back in March.

Because they have both the political and practical reasons to be outraged. Also, if it was nonpartisan and Democratic students that suddenly became outraged, why did this only occur after national Republicans and the right wing media started harping about Hillary's wealth and her speaking fees?

The fact that the students have been able to organize on this at all has me suspecting the five campus Republicans oiled up the True Leftists and got them out on the streets .
