A “Fire Andrew Shirvell” Facebook page has also recently popped up, with over 300 fans. [1]
Michigan Attorney General Mike Cox has found himself in a queer, Constitutional conundrum after it was revealed that one of his staffers, Andrew Shirvell, has been targeting the University of Michigan’s gay student body president, Chris Armstrong. [2]

It wouldn’t look good to their fundamentalist christian base if Cox dumped Shirvell for bullying a gay guy. [4]
Shirvell was also elected as a Republican precinct delegate for Charlotte. [...] Attorney General Mike Cox last week responded to revelations that one of his employees has a peculiar pastime: attacking openly gay University of Michigan student body president Chris Armstrong, along with other similar pro-life and anti-gay endeavors. [1]
For nearly six months, Shirvell has used his blog ‘Chris Armstrong Watch,’ to shine an online spotlight on college student Chris Armstrong, the openly gay president of the student governmental body at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. [5]
In other reports, Armstrong is referred to as “the gay president” of the Michigan student body. [6]
“In classroom’s across the state, Attorney General Mike Cox uses videos to teach students the dangers of internet predators and cyber bullies. [7]
Shrivel and Cocks are old campaign buddies so I doubt Cox will throw him under the bus unless things get really bad. [...] I have seen the story that recently surfaced about your continued harassment of Chris Armstrong, I was completely shocked that the AG would allow one of his employees to exhibit such behavior. [4]
In a statement provided to CNN Tuesday evening, Michigan’s top lawyer sought to put some daylight between his office and Shirvell’s online behavior. [5]
The “public servant” also warned parents of University of Michigan students that Armstrong “the University’s first openly ‘gay’ student body president… is actively recruiting your sons and daughters to join the homosexual ‘lifestyle.’” Naturally these comments pose a problem for Shirvell’s boss, Cox. [2]
Jon my facebook says Im “to sick to party… sad day”, he seemed to look through my facebook quite thoroughly. [4]
Especially since Shirvall’s claims are a blatant example of cyber bullying - something his boss, AG Mike Cox, teaches students about in classroom videos - but very possibly amount to defamation. [8]
