It is worth remembering that during that bleak political time the universities, faculties and students understood the threat McCarthyism posed to intellectual freedom -- and, dismal to note today, that the universities which were once hotbeds of opposition to McCarthy are now little worlds of their own, where political censorship, speech codes and other ideologically driven assaults on freedom are the accepted order of things.

So what you're saying Dorothy is that universities have always been hotbeds of assaults on freedom (truth). What the hell is intellectual freedom you moron?

There is more truth in an Ann Coulter book than in Dorothy the Dinosaur's entire professional career.

That is the opposite of what she said. She may be overstating the intellectual freedom that existed in the 50's but it certainly was more than in 2003 where you cant even seduce your date without signing a contract in advance.
