Perhaps you should have listened closely to what he said about "Berkley."
I don't know anything of Mr. Edmund, but this ripping on him for having attended UC Berkeley, one of the most notable and prestigious public Universities in the nation, is misplaced.
UC Berkeley is a haven for leftists. So are Harvard, Yale, University of Wisconsin, University of Kansas in Lawrence, Brown, Columbia, etc. UC Berkeley also has many moderates and Conservatives among the student body.
Yeah, we all know that UC Berkeley isn't Baylor or Liberty University. But attendance at UC Berkeley alone does not make one a surefire liberal "gay-mafia" conspirator any more than attending most major top-100 Universities in the USA.
FWIW, I did not attend UC Berkeley, and I find the area around the school to be decidedly unpleaseant. I really have no affinity for UCB, but find this particular argument to be missing the point about the liberal state of college education in our country.
Not one in 10 FReepers knows how to spell Berkeley.
