Some professor being challenged on tolerance of political views other than hers yelled "We completely forbid anyone to say we're intolerant!" or words to that effect. Can anyone source and date this for me? Thanks.

[Blood of Tyrants]

Every tenured liberal professor in every college in America.

[Jet Jaguar]

Hillary?

[hflynn]

Sounds like Karl Marx.

[Allegra]

I don't know who said it, but it's freakin' hilarious.

[Calvin Locke]

Donna Shalala, most likely.

Or Harry Reid, Ted Kennedy, Tom Daschle, or practically any current or former Dem senator in recent memory.

Any poverty pimp.

Any gay/lesbian activist.

Anybody that voted Democrat after the first Bill Clinton inauguration.

Actually a more direct irony is "We absolutely forbid anyone to say that we are authoritarian!" Proscription is not intolerance, per se.

Youse guys ain't helpin'. I really need the source.

Something in my memory says it was that lady in Canada, speaking in Toronto, who is of Indian or Arab descent. I can't recall her name, but she was quite vitriolic in the leadup to the Iraq war. I could be way wrong, but it's a shot in the dark.

Where Intolerance will not be tolerated!

[Hegemony Cricket]

Sounds like the professor of Room 101...
