The Democrat anti-war types seem to be some of the most violence prone people I have ever met. Once one started yelling at me when he overheard me talking to someone about a political view that was not PC. Eventually he told me to go f*****g get hit by a car and die. Nice peaceful tolerant liberals.

That is because their arguments rarely stand up to even the lightest scrutiny, and hence, the reason they always quickly devolve into ad hominem attacks: put your opponent on the defensive as quickly as possible if possible.

“Freedom of speech is prized on a university campus,” Chapman said in his statement, “While Brown students are encouraged to express their opinions on any subject and in a variety of forums, the University does not tolerate such assaults against a speaker or disrupting the right of others to hear a speaker’s perspectives.”

If only it were so.

The bullies are on the other side of the equation.

See above.

They squelch scientists reports for political favor.

The Algore system of scientific proof, you mean.

They disbelieve in evolution, photosynthesis, geological time, and whatever else their hillbilly Christians want them to disbelieve.

Wow. Even photosynthesis? Photosynthesis is demonstrably provable, unlike some theories. Belief as a means of proof is not the basis for only religions. Sometimes, religions take the place of science, like in global “warming.”

They are criminal, and the least we can do (absent tar and feathering) is pie them.

Ah yes. For libs, their criminal acts are “free speech,” while anyone else must be condemned without judge or jury.

“…his sickeningly cheery applaud for free market capitalism’s conquest of the planet,…”

I don’t wonder why these gutless wonders don’t go to the obvious alternative: China. Maybe capitalism ain’t so bad.

I’ve got a podcast of Mike Adams in which he says that in one school year UNC (forget which campus) had nine speakers on gay marrige. All nine were in favor of gay marriage.

That is their idea of diversity.

The Soviet regime used them as scapegoats for the failure of various 5-year plans, etc etc. See also “wreckers” and “counter-revolutionaries”.

Since using facts and science doesn’t work, eco-nuts have to resort to lying and intimidation to further their anti-Capitalist agenda. The entire global warming environmental wackjob scam is really about……

But academia simply can’t have students tossing objects at Pulitzer Prize winners

Who are you kidding? And what planet have you been on for the last forty years?

No matter your political tendencies, no speaker should be subjected to this level of disrespect. How universities, whether Ivy League or not, do not take a stronger stance against this is beyond me.

Censorship goes both ways; disrupting someone’s speech is infringing on their right to free speech. This is completely embarassing and the parents of those children should have a lot to answer for to the university administration.

This should not go unchastised.

This is what gets me. What happened to open debate? Is that what “higher” education is for?

I consistently listen to liberals espouse on their mistaken, lack of real facts perspective. I listen politely, then I begin rebuttal with facts. Usually I am immediately interrupted while getting verbally accosted and sometimes threatened physically.

I don’t need to resort to verbal or physical assaults. I believe that as a conservative and constitutionalist, my ideas are better. When/if my ideas aren’t better, I go back to reading and research and come back again. I don’t get angry.

I’m beginning to the think that angry liberals are just subconsciously mad that Reagan and Goldwater etc., are right.

I’ve always thought that to deliver a cream pie in a truly classy manner, one should include a cheque to cover the cost of the dry cleaner.

…or better still, don’t throw one at all. But that would mean just a little too much restraint on thei part, now wouldn’t it?

Name me one instance of someone on the right doing something akin to this.

(crickets…)

I predict we’ll see a blossoming of liberal media pieces decrying the mob atmosphere at American colleges and universities and calling for civility in academic exchanges. Better late than never. I guess:…

I also predict slightly more than the usual slap on the wrist that other speech-squelchers have received. It’s one thing to bully one of us right-wing speakers. But academia simply can’t have students tossing objects at Pulitzer Prize winners.

I hate to disagree with you, but Allahpundit’s right. The state of modern liberal orthodoxy is that one must agree 110% with the nuttiest of it, and Friedman has not one but two big strikes against him in a stadium where a single swinging strike is an out.

Speaking specifically to the media’s coming (lack of) defense of Friedman, if there was any real defense of ABC in its war against the nutroots, I must have missed it. Bear in mind that was over simply being in the wrong liberal camp, and not an outright and open abandonment of a major tenent.

The SEC is a tough division. I felt bad for you guys since your record was (I think) 12-0.

At least some of the Georgia 2nd and 3rd-stringers got some Bowl time in! It’s all in good fun. Like I said, the SEC is a tough division.

Go Dawgs!

OT – no need to rub it in…:)
