The leftwing, moronic goofball attempting to joust with a "normal" person. Then goofy's sidekick steps in to lend a hand and the cartoon really gets going.... Lets see we have fascists who are muslims, who are killing other muslims, but they're not islamo-fascists, they're islamic fascists. And, the fascists are not killing anybody. It's really the world's "white people", and corporations, running amok slashing, and hacking, and blowing people up. If you were smart you could see that!! bdip..bdip..bdip... That's All Folks!

Under no circumstances should "academic freedom" substitute for the Constitution as the supreme law of the land, and all that has to be done to make that point is to cut off federal grants to those institutions that refuse to fully obey the First Amendment. Does that make sense or not?

It was a very nice, quiet, informative evening, and the desperate and rude banner bearers at the end were more amusing than anything else. Even Mr. Horowitz seemed to admire their ability to sit still through the whole presentation before popping up at the end of the Q&A session.

You can take the privileged out of the ghetto but you can't take the ghetto out of the privileged and in this case the faculty in charge can not even run a civil forum of ideas (they breed and promote those who look like me/themself).

What you really need to do is look at who organized the reaction. There is no credible way that this percentage of people are that strongly opposed to open debate in and of itself. Read the organizing groups names of the posters and such and then hit the search engines for a while. Following up on that web of "grassroots" yeah sure right as to that fantasy and you will start to put together the picture. The reactions are only the symptom.

And I am not sure if Horowitz could have handled it better. I am deeply disappointed. If this is the kind of opposition we have to face at institutions of higher learning, then how are we going to educate the common man. We need to take some serious measures. May be the project was itself initiated as first step towards this. We have <strong>miles to go</strong> all of you. Emory was too painful.
