Sarcasm assumes a reliance upon logic. That is, one makes logical statements illogical and by doing so, expects others to follow along. Libs, on the other hand, rely on their own emotions a lot more, and we all know that sarcasm and appeals to the emotion just don't mix. That alone makes them sound pretentious.

That's so true...the liberals in my work and social circles are astonishingly bad at sarcasm. There is no humor in it because the words come out with anger. And if they 'talk like a conservative' in jest, it gives me the opportunity to praise their conversion. Being liberals, they cannot laugh at that, and get all red and quite mad!

Colleges, especially state-run colleges, should be compelled to provide security sufficient to protect campus speakers and vigorously prosecute disrupters. Conservative legal advocacy groups need to take colleges like the University of Connecticut, to court for failure to protect the First Amendment rights of Ann Coulter and those who wanted to hear what she had to say. University administrators may not want to protect the freedom of speech for conservatives, but they fear expensive lawsuits.

In addition; here's an interesting idea from another thread...

It's time to enact laws pointed directly at people who threaten democracy.

I would like to see a Federal law that would pull funding from any university that do not take effective measures to prevent disruption in classrooms and at speeches by invited speakers.

That, alone, would ensure that conservatives have a chance to be heard on campus, and put sanctions on those who interfere.

I should have pointed out that I was being sarcastic. I understand clearly the double standard to which liberals live by.

I guessed as much. Sarcasm is difficult with the written word. I was just trying to cover many of the points made by various people. But then, when I try to be sarcastic, sometimes my humor and desert sand have a lot in common so no complaints here.

They criticized her for spreading a message of hate and intolerance.

As they spread their message of hate and intolerance.
