SAN MARCOS, Calif. (AP) - Filmmaker and Michigan native Michael Moore has established a scholarship for students who defy the administration at California State University, San Marcos - the same school that canceled his talk last year.

The Michael Moore Freedom of Speech Scholarship will award two $2,500 annual scholarships to Cal State San Marcos students "who have done the most to fight for issues of student rights by standing up to the administration," according to a news release issued Wednesday.

The first scholarships will be awarded in the 2005-2006 academic year. Winners will be announced in June.

Cal State San Marcos President Karen Hynes revoked Moore's invitation to speak on campus last fall because she said the school was prohibited from spending state money on partisan political activity. Hynes said she did not believe there would be enough time to find a speaker whose opinions could balance Moore's liberal views.

A call to Hynes' office was referred to Cal State San Marcos spokesman Rick Moore, who has no relation to the filmmaker and said he did not wish to discuss the merits of the scholarship that encourages students to stand up to administrators.

"Mr. Moore has the right to do whatever he wishes to do and we're glad to see another scholarship available to students who go to our school," he said.

In October 2004, the "Fahrenheit 9/11" filmmaker spoke to 10,000 people off campus at the Del Mar Fairgrounds, where he announced his plans to start what he called a "hellraiser" scholarship.

Sounds more like an incentive to disrupt than to help educate.........

Two $2500 scholarships? Man he is beyond generous!! Gues he doesn't want to cut into his twinkie budget. What an altruistic gesture..self promoting slug.

He doesn't do himself any favors does he??? What an idiot. He just went down a whole heap of notches in my book, although I didn't really think much about him before....

I was going to ask how is that possible?

What I find amazing is the Democrats invited this guy to there National Convention. I understand that he did a lot to torpedo Bush, but you would think most Democrats would be embarrassed to have this kind of human garbage appearing in prominence at their convention. I think this proves what those of us on the right already knew--this is one nasty, self-centered individual with a warped sense of morality.

I would say that Moore has made Mulder his boy! Mulder is obessed with this second rate documentarian! Mulder--Moore is an entertainer--get over it!

And yet he was the best thing the Democrats had going for them in 2004--what's that say about your party?

The Republicans had Arnold and Rudolph Guilliani and Zell Miller. Hell, no wonder we are kicking your arses!

[linskyjack]

Arnold--a misanthropic idiot who still hasn't mastered the English language.
Zell Miller--a delusional right winger with an anger issue
Rudy G---well Rudy G is my boy but the theocrats will never allow him to run for President.

2004: Hmmm? Let's see--I can go to the Democratic National Convention where I can listen to Ted Kennedy, Hillary Clinton and Michael Moore root for failure in Iraq, whine about deficits, complain about civil rights violations against terrorist POWs and talk about how we need more money for welfare or I can go to the Republican National Convention and listening to rousing emotional positive messages by the Terminator, Americas Best Mayor of all time (Guilliani) and the effervescent Zell Miller!

Tough choice!

Once again, another non-answer--Tell us in YOUR OWN WORDS--why you don't think there should be a general fund that is given equally to candidates in Federal Elections? What scares you--and dont give us the free speech nonsense. There is nothing in my suggestion that would prohibit anyone from using their allotment to express their thoughts.

This is the wrong thread--you want the "What would you change if you were King for a Day Thread".

Are you seeing double after taking one solid across the bow in that thread?

[linskyjack]

I'm not in boat dummy--get over to that thread and answer me.

Well IMO everyone has a few redeeming features.... like I said he didn't have many to begin with, but he's just lost a few more...
