I pity the poor students unfortunate enough to have to "learn" from this person. What a hideous waste of Texas dollars to pay this salary.

[wk4bush2004]

And if conservatives had protested, the liberals wouldn't have done anything about it.

I'm glad that I go to a conservative university where we have very few liberal faculty.

[End Times Sentinel]

"Protesters chose to disrupt Mr. Horowitz's lecture by moving threateningly toward the stage, shouting at the speaker and blowing foghorns and other noise-making devices,"

 

Foghorns and noisemaking devices.  That's what passes for a point of view on the left these days.

Get a clue. Do these people realize that an EXCHANGE of ideas usually involves a little give and take. It doesn't work if both sides talk over each other.

"Horowitz and his ilk pursue the agenda of silencing the left, all in the name of free speech. He attempts to whip up fear of tyrannical radical professors who, he says, indoctrinate what he sees as hapless, immature undergraduates. (Apparently, he hasn't met my students, whom I respect as adults capable of speaking for themselves and making their own judgments.)"

[agitator]

Roaches hate it when Horowitz turns the lights on them.

[frankiep]

One day the words and actions of these hysterical liberal lunatics is going to bring the situation in this country to a boiling point. I'm starting to think more and more that that day will be soon.

Time to liberate our campuses from socialist totalitarians,

Time to initiate academic and intellectual freedom in America.

Among her other "contributions", we find this in the deep archives:

University of Texas Professor Creates New Pledge For The 'Godless Radicals'

An excerpt:

I pledge allegiance to all the ordinary people around the world, to the laid off Enron workers and the WorldCom workers the maquiladora workers and the sweatshop workers from New York to Indonesia, who labor not under God but under the heel of multinational corporations; I pledge allegiance to the people of Iraq, Palestine and Afghanistan, and to their struggles to survive and resist slavery to corporate greed, brutal wars against their families, and the economic and environmental ruin wrought by global capitalism; I pledge allegiance to building a better world where human needs are met and with real liberty, equality and justice for all.

[CaptRon]

The only thing missing from Prof. Cloud's 'research interestests' are courses on the rhetoric of disrupting traffic and the rhetoric of creating a secret police organization.

[blueberry12]

If they don't like conservatives, then why did they go to listen to Horowitz's speech at all? They should have stayed home instead.

[mlc9852]

It's just inconceivable to me that students actually pay to be "taught" by people like this. Maybe we can start homeschool colleges.

[swampfox98]

Horowitz encourages students to report their professors who openly silence the opinion of conservatives in universities.

It is frightening to think about the number of leftist anti-American, anti-christ professors who are teaching in America's colleges. The scourge of the 60s have risen to places of honor in the teaching of Karl Marx and Lenin.

Hilliary Clinton is an example of their Marxist teachings. No matter how far she pretends to move to the center, she'll always be a leftist. Her professors did their jobs well. And we in America will pay dearly in 2008 and beyond.

I once went to the University of Maine to hear a lecture from a Chinese dissident, several chinese students booed him during his speech and made wild accusations about him. This reminds me of that episode. The students I witnessed were obviously beholden to the Chinese goverment, just as these sheep are beholden to their liberal masters.

Horowitz and Coulter are made of sterner stuff than I am. I'm afraid if I spoke in such a setting, I'd charge off the stage and strangle someone.

Sounds like her teaching interests could be summed up as "How to make a nuisance of yourself".

[SMARTY]

I said this the other day but I will plagarize myself because I think it applies here too:

Pretty soon the priority of action over theory will win out and then the fascist mode will become immediately and indelibly associated with American Liberalism. Then it will be too late for everyone. Unfortunately, the Wellstone funeral, pie throwing, personal insults and utter lack of regard for property, rights and the rule of law will continue to be seen as the necessary, preferred and officially condoned 'style' of the Democratic party in the United States. Always remember, practice is the result of doctrine and the more violent and primitive expression and style of Liberalism in the United States is a mirror image of its continued and further departure from reasoned and acceptable political discourse in this country. Their open hostility to authority is too telling. The Democrats will come to a place where it will be easier to deny their doctrine, to modify their organization or change their leadership than to hide or change the style of the party. You don't need to be too keen to see the path they have been on for years now, and if you know your history... you have seen it before. Beware!

!!!! I posted about the same incident one minute before you did.

Police detain six at UT protest (of conservative David Horowitz speech)HHH

[Scenic Sounds]

Six people, including one juvenile, were arrested Wednesday night after protesting David Horowitz's speech at Townes Hall at the UT School of Law.

Where are the parents here? What kind of parents would let their child hang around a law school?
