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.
Trojan Horse, before and after the Greeks jump out.
Wasn’t part of the “free speech” movement about the ability to curse in public?
Compare their apperral to. Ladies and gent,rmen then, Now bumms and Scunms.
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.
A little rumor birdie told Robert Reich the ‘right-wing’ was behind Berkeley violence
Just further proof the liberals were never interested in the Constitution. Use it only as a weapon or a shield to further their own political interests.
Same thing for so called “civil rights” acts, “diversity”. “Affirmative action”. Never about fairness or equal opportunity. All about denial of freedom of choice and association, and discrimination against white people.
Truth sounds like hate to those who hate truth.
Oh I see. The commies of the 1960s were better than the commies today. I’m so nostalgic for the good old commie days.
