Several commentators on here have noted how the accusation of "racist" is, as one put it, equivalent to calling someone a pedophile. Today on Fox's The Five. a normally restrained and rational discussion show, every one of the participants tried to outdo the others in condemning the fraternity and its song. I was much reminded of Solzhenitsyn's description of how defense attorneys during Stalin's reign of terror would condemn their clients with greater vigor than even the Soviet prosecutors.

Now I don't mean to suggest Bolling, Guilfoyle, et. al., were sympathetic to the frat boys, nor were they obligated to defend them; but I do mean to say the condemnation voiced was excessive and also somewhat misguided. Yes, the racist song was offensive and remarkably stupid; but what is worse: that or the activities of campus Leftists who shout down, threaten, and try to intimidate Conservative speakers? Yet where is the national outrage, the self-righteous declarations of censure, the punishments meted out by university authorities (many of whom are sympathetic to the demonstrators)?

This whole affair is a dog and pony show designed to provide the modern day pharisees with an opportunity to beat their chest and show how pure and good they are.
