Yeah, but back then those leftist radicals believed in free speech because they were out of power.

Now that they control academia, free speech is a hate crime, as far as they are concerned.

In a weird, leftist, Orwellian way, they are completely consistent with what they were in the ‘60s.

EHRLICHMAN: It's fatal liberality.

NIXON: Huh?

EHRLICHMAN: It's fatal liberality. And with its use on television, it has such leverage.

NIXON: You know what's happened [in northern California]?

EHRLICHMAN: San Francisco has just gone clear over.

NIXON: But it's not just the ratty part of town. The upper class in San Francisco is that way. The Bohemian Grove, which I attend from time to time--it is the most faggy goddamned thing you could ever imagine, with that San Francisco crowd. I can't shake hands with anybody from San Francisco.

Decorators. They got to do something. But we don't have to glorify it. You know one of the reasons fashions have made women look so terrible is because the goddamned designers hate women. Designers taking it out on the women. Now they're trying to get some more sexy things coming on again.

EHRLICHMAN: Hot pants.

NIXON: Jesus Christ.

What strikes me here too, is how the kids at Berkeley were dressed in 1964. Girls wearing dresses, and guys in suits and ties??? At a college??? Nowadays that would be unheard of.

I hope UC Berkeley enrollment suffers. Especially lucrative foreign students.

One of the students holding the big Free Speech sign (over the second “e” of “free” ) was John Searle, a Goldwater Republican and later a noted conservative professor of philosophy at UC Berkeley.

It wasn't free speech, it was the beginning of political correctness. The politicization of college campuses.

“Reagan had two themes in his first run for office. The man who later became known as “The Great Communicator” vowed to send “the welfare bums back to work,” and “to clean up the mess at Berkeley.” The latter became a Reagan mantra.” snip

Absolutely.

The new is the spawn of the old.

There is no difference in their thinking.
The difference is only in how far they could push their demands at the time.

Leftists don't expect to completely win every battle.
They are content to get a little concession, a little compromise each time.

To move the marker just a little in their direction is a win for them.

With enough small compromises added together they eventually reach their next milestone.

Remember- every compromise with the left, no matter how large or small, is a gain for the left and a loss for the forces of law, order, the constitution and the nation.

Ayn Rand summed it up this way:

"In any compromise between good and evil, it is only evil that can profit."

"In any compromise between good and evil, it is only evil that can profit."

She may have said that. But if she did, she made the point even more strongly elsewhere: "In any compromise between food and poison, only death can win."

Wasn’t part of the “free speech” movement about the ability to curse in public?

Nothing's changed at Berkeley. It was never about free speech, it was always about their speech. Berkeley the birthplace of the free speech movement? BS! That happened in 1776.

The title of this thread led me to believe that it was going to feature those “Hiroshima vs. Detroit” photos. I was almost correct; the relative damage done is just as grievous.

Actually they are just being intelligent. They felt that dressing up presented a better visual for the protest. Beats wearing masks.
