‘This is why people HATE YOU.’ POLITICO’s hit piece on Hillsdale College BACKFIRES spectacularly

Some are. Hillsdale advertises on Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, and Mark Levin, and on Fox News (a very nice TV ad.) It does not advertise on Glenn Beck or Michael Savage (The Savage Nation.)

I remember when I arrived and had been there just a few days. I was walking to lunch, and I thought to myself, "There's nobody here to argue with." (I'm the type who enjoys a good debate.) Well, there was. We had libertarians, Russell Kirk traditionalists (Dr. Kirk used to teach there one semester per year), and every shade in between.

They even found a couple of liberal kids. Most kept their heads down, but one guy became my sparring partner in the Collegian. In addition to being a one-time Reporter of the Year (I got $10), I had a column on the right side of the Op-Ed page and the other guy would write about the same issue on the left side of the page. (My column was way more popular.)

There is a mostly conservative faculty and student body, and it encompasses pretty much every shade of conservative/libertarian opinion.

BTW, Kat Timpf of Fox (you see her on The Greg Gutfeld Show) is a Hillsdale girl -- MANY years after me, although we had the same major.

If you get on the College’s mailing list, they’ll notify you of the livestreams of the Center for Constructive Alternatives. CCA is usually excellent.

Funny. Did you read the whole thread?

I was reminiscing about things that were in the local news when my family lived near Hillsdale. I had forgotten the story and was hoping someone would know more. I ended up reading more elsewhere, and another poster remembered the time as well.

I think the story was tragic for that family. Hillsdale handled it well from what I have read in the last few days. Sometimes folks are crazy and do crazy things.
