I feel that they should be permitted to say what's on their mind.... And we should be permitted to ridicule them when they do. That's what freedom of expression is all about.
I believe this merits a Barf Alert.
Translation: Leftist rants being challenged for first time.
This is almost as bad as that alternative SF bookstore that banned books from authors they deemed "fascists."

Outright lies, improbable logic and ignorance in equal parts.
"Newspeak" on the hoof, as it were.
Not many people, however, have heard of "Newspeak", where words are hijacked to mean the opposite of their historic meaning.
"In truth, the American campus is a healthy mix of different opinions, cultures and viewpoints."
It looks like the author is "brainless" -- but at least he has something in common with most of the professors.
The last paragraph is an outright lie by the libs. I was listening to Hannity today regarding the college kid that taped his professor going off on Bush (he will be on Hannity and Combs TV tonight) and a caller responded by saying the professor should not be fired but should be encouraged to question everything including Bush. The class was GEOGRAPHY!!
"...American campus is a healthy mix of different opinions, cultures and viewpoints." What a load of crap!
The left is being treated the same as the right? Is that allowed now???
How amny of them have had pies thrown at them?
There are too many examples of these so called "self inflicted hate-crimes". I am sorry, but it will be very hard for me to view any death threat and not suspect that the threat came from the recipient.
What if this guy had Hitler and Pol Pot on his website? Then could we point that out? I guess Che and Lenin are PC murderers though, so he must be left alone.

"In truth, the American campus is a healthy mix of different opinions"
This guy doesn't recognize truth.
It was the radical left that decided it was okay to censor 'hate speech', which means anything they don't like. They invited a response in-kind.
I have to travel through the outskirts of Baltimore this Saturday, think I will wind down the window and spit.
I don't advocate threats or violence against these people. Not only is it wrong, but we don't need to stoop to their level.
However, it's gratifying to see academics elite getting knocked off their ivory tower.
Well, someone can always "out" the conservative professors on campus. Fair is fair. he
How is academic freedom being "assault[ed]" by simply publicizing what the teachers say and assign in classes?
OMG HITLER!11!11one1!1eleven!!1
Conservatives have been taking it on the chin for a half-century or better with no one coming to their defense, to the extent that now most colleges have less than ten percent conservatives on their faculties.
"Healthy mix of different opinions, cultures and viewpoints?" Don't make me laugh!
Lewis is evidently one of those who "..can't stand the truth!"
There are probably only a few dozen colleges in the whole country that are not locked down in leftist gulags. These are the new brand of traditional Catholic colleges, and the Bob Jones type Evangelical colleges. Almost everything else is owned lock, stock, and sickle by the left.
