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.

B,
Thank you. Alot of folks, especially hippy filth, seem to be familiar only with one side of the free speech equation.

It's refreshing sometimes to remind them that free speech applies to everybody, including people who point out that they're f*ckwits.

I'd have a lot more sympathy for these whacked out leftist professors, if they didn't make such a big stink out of other segments of our society not being multicultural enough or being politically diverse enough, when they try to exclude any views other than their sick versions of leftist socialism and Marxism on campus.

Try getting permission to have conservative voices make presentations on campus. It's almost impossible, and if they do show up, they're shouted down or insulted in a myriad of ways.

Well, I WAS impressed by the fact that he went to bat for the freedom of speach for Lawrence Summers, the President of Harvard who was just booted for his statements questioning PC positions....Oh wait, excuse me a second-

What? He didn't defend Summers???? Only left wing examples?

Oh.... never mind. It's just the same old BS.
