“I would have to bet that a lot of those who write ‘provocative’ articles for college newspapers right now, will later go on to become political activists - including running for office. Unlike before, when one could hide what one’s opinions were and writings were while in college, this generation will have it follow them forever in some digital form or another. Like tattoos - not so easy to get rid of.”

“..one of the few pieces of Obama’s writing we have found from that period is an article in the Columbia Sundial, a now defunct weekly magazine, on nuclear disarmament dated March 10, 1983.”

They will just use the John FTheArmey Kerry excuse when called on it. “Those were the words of an angry young man” (when he admitted to lying to Congress about witnessing and participating in war crimes in Viet Nam).

Ted “Cheers” Danson’s own “mea culpa” about the hysteria of global warming has been ignored as well. In the mid-1980s he said that within 25 years, the oceans will be dead. He now says that his extremist rhetoric was designed to draw attention to the issue.

Yet the Red Scare Scare was overblown, the threat more genuine, more documented, even by the KGB. The “scare” about the scare has been overplayed.

Obama is STILL seeking taking the US to ZERO nuclear weapons. Clearly he is not so hellbent on disarming the whole world, he’s chill with Iran having an Allah Nuke.

Obama has already said that he would not use a nuclear response, even to a nuclear attack.

This "microagression" will be the new "racist" card. And that both incidents are from colleges, you can see that this is planned.

Mr. Haddad's grievance demonstrates the symbiotic relationship between socialism and the pathological resentment of Islam. It is no accident that these two retrograde disorders make common cause: the antithesis of 'progressive'.

I agree with you, but, it still helps to be able to put these people in the position of having to defend their comments. Some of it will stick. Kerry didn’t become President because of his previous actions. It can make a difference.

“Despite Movember claiming to be a global movement, it assumes privilege and a certain relation to class on behalf of the participant”

Not shaving implies an unfair economic advantage. We got a double whammy of man hate and rich people hate!

If the butch gals would grow their beards out this thing would fizzle.

I started reading Haddad’s article, but it was so full of s... er liberal gobbledygook, I couldn’t finish reading it. Yes, liberalism is a mental disorder.

If you’re a man who grows a November mustache for “Movember” charities benefiting prostate cancer research, you might be engaging in a “sexist, racist, transphobic, and misinformed” campaign, says the editor of McGill University’s student newspaper. Health and Education Editor Ralph Haddad...
His severed head should be displayed over the town gate.

Even if every bit of microaggression is eliminated, there will still be nano- and picoaggression to express outrage about.

Lot of work on torture and mind control was done at McGill University... maybe this kid was spawned under that system...

More brilliance from the same newspaper that informed us, only a year or so ago, that the heinous act of being white was also racist.

Going to McGill and writing for the Daily kills brain cells, apparently.

I watched the interview of Charles Krauthammer where he told Bret Baier how he and group of Conservatives took the college news rag away from the Lefties and Commies. But apparently it is back in the Commies hands.

Watch the video and learn more about Dr. Krauthammer, including how he became the editor of the newspaper at McGill University and how he ended up at Harvard Medical School.

Who cares what the editor of a college newspaper thinks? Puppy hasn’t learned to think yet.

"Puppy hasn’t learned to think yet."

RALPH HADDAD - Lebanese.

Puppy has been indoctrinated in group think from government schools at a very early age. There is NO thinking allowed by government school puppies.
