‘Would You Have Anal Sex For $102 Million?’ Ask Dartmouth Students Trolling Rick Perry

Rick Perry got trolled by liberal Dartmouth College students who objected to the conservative Republican governor’s presence on campus.

New Hampshire’s very liberal Dartmouth College hosted a very conservative Texas governor Sunday and some of the Ivy League member’s students weren’t pleased.

The Dartmouth College Republicans hosted an event during which Gov. Perry got to chat with the students, but during a question and answer period activists aiming to “mock,” “troll,” “subvert,” and “undermine” Perry may have gone a bit too far.

The plan was to lull the Texas pol into what appeared to be a basic policy question, but then spring an attack based on Perry’s acknowledged anti-gay beliefs.

“I know you have been very strong on all foreign policy issues, including Somali pirates, but what is your stance on butt pirates?,” one question, which appeared in a tweet circulated today, read. 

“Does your ideal anti-sodomy law prevent me from playing with my own poop shoot?,” another reads.

“In your campaign you have received hard-money contributions of $102 million,” was another question, asked reportedly by  student Emily Sellers. “Would you have anal sex for $102 million?”

Anther question on the list included, “You have recently been involved in a corruption scandal. Would you like to have anal sex with me later?”

Student Ben Packer reportedly came up with and distributed the questions.

“Who gets to define what is unnecessary and inappropriate? Why does Rick Perry deserve my respect?” Packer said, according to the Daily Caller. “To tell me I represented Dartmouth poorly is ironic. The roomful of people chatting with Rick Perry without discussing his social policy represents Dartmouth poorly.”

Packer explained his motivation to Campus Reform, a right-wing website.

“I don’t think much of any politician. Rick Perry has been closing down abortion clinics in my home state and winning elections by playing off of the socially reactionary fears of the racist and sexually traditional poor and middle class, while soliciting mass donations from the rich and crafting economic policy in their favor,” Packer told Campus Reform. “He uses those donations to convince people to vote against their economic interest, broadcasting economic ideology more consistent with class status of his donors rather than his core constituent [sic].

New York Magazine passed judgment on the curious antics.

College students: still extremely mature.

Jezebel deemed the effort not-ready-for-prime-time.

Not bad in theory, Dartmouth students, but perhaps a tad more subtlety in the execution next time.

Comments at The Dartmouth, the college’s student newspaper, were decidedly unsupportive.

And, of course, conservatives are fuming.
