Interesting add-on to your article of the other day about the looney tunes "9/11 Conspiracy Perfesser." ;)

"The idea that the best way to deal with a faulty interpretation is to suppress it is unbecoming for a great university in a great state." Except, of course, when a conservative idea is expressed.

The original "red diaper baby".I wonder what,if anything,David Horowitz might have to say about the piece of excrement.

I'm eagerly looking forward to Meeropol and other leftists to support the right of Scott Savage to recommend conservative books to incoming freshmen at
Ohio State University.
But no, with lefties and commies it's always "Free speech for me, but not for thee." Why does the hypocrisy and irony of these situations always escape the notice of these idiots?

The Rosenbergs' sons should have been adopted by childless Orthodox Jewish couples, not by their parents' old CPUSA chums.

I have always believed that the best way to develop and even solidify one's views on any controversial topic - whether it be history, economics, literature, philosophy or politics - is to subject your position to the strongest possible counter argument." I would have to agree with this point. When this is done, liberalism just doesn't survive. Of course, his attitude about Horowitz shows where he really stands. It was sad to read about his parents again. I mean from the standpoint that I have a son about that age and can only imagine the trauma for him at that time.

My problem is when fiction is presented as fact in a university setting. Those young skulls full of mush will believe anything that they hear in a college classroom. I saw Barrett interviewed (O'Reilly? or Hannity and Colmes?) and he couldn't prove any of his assertions. Universities need to get back to teaching FACTS not assertions from the far left. And I really couldn't care less what Michael Meeropol thinks. Apparently he, for years, was sure his father was innocent but now he is reconsidering his opinion. I absolutely believe that tenure was created so that those far lefty Profs would be able to spew all their ideology and not have to worry about their jobs. Do away with tenure and they would actually have to be held accountable and subjected to the possibility of firing. Like most of the people who work for a living.

I am glad to see Julius and Ethel Rosenberg's names back in the headlines. I wonder if this article will give pause to Mary McCarthy, Dana Priest, Bill Keller, and the NYT.
I'm hoping that AG Gonzalez and President Bush's advisors see this, too. I would just change the headline to "How America Stayed Strong and Dealt with Traitors During the Cold War".
Note to AG Gonzalez: DO YOUR JOB.

Ethel and Julius were guilty as sin of treason. The Venona decrypts confirmed the trial jury finding. Sorry about it Dr. Meeropol, but your folks got no more than they deserved.

Dear Mr. Meerpool,
Your parents were treasonous vermin and my only regret with regard to them is that we have not yet created the "Julius and Ethel Rosenberg Memorial Electric Chair" to fry a lot more of your kind.

Michael Meeropol said that in the wake of the new information, he's "a little less certain" about the complete innocence of his father than he was three decades ago. Idiot. But I suppose it would be hard to come to grips with the fact your parent's were Commie traitors putting the future of Civilization at risk.

You know if a professor came into his/her physics class and suggested that E=MC2 was not correct and instead E=MC4 was correct that they would not allow him/her to teach that physics class (well, maybe). But, what is the difference? Someone is making up something that is known to be false and they are allowing them to teach it as fact.
Also, having been a college freshman and associating with other college freshmen, rare is it to find a single one of them that will stand up to a professor about ANYTHING let alone something that teacher personally accepts as fact. Nope, there will not be a single challenge from a student, be they freshmen, sophomores, juniors, seniors or grad students.

[Meeropol] I have always believed that the best way to develop and even solidify one's views on any controversial topic - whether it be history, economics, literature, philosophy or politics - is to subject your position to the strongest possible counter argument." Commendable, in theory. In practice...this is precisely the kind of openness and willingness to debate that the Wisconsin Professor discouraged.
