As usual, the NY Slimes misses the point.

...what was once the lefts moral high ground over free speech on campus. Actually, I would say they more lie about the point than miss it.
I do not recall a time during my 50 years where the left had the moral high ground over free speech on campus. They have always been about controlling and denying conservative speech.

The divisive, repressive Left never held the moral high ground on speech. It is the enemy of liberty.

Ms. Coulter, the acid-penned conservative writer Pretty much all anyone needs to know right there. No point in reading past that. Well... it is the slimes after all. One can't expect any real journalism or thought-provoking opinions to flow from that fish wrap and bird cage liner.

The NY Times intentionally misses the point. They pretend not to see a difference between censoring Ann Coulter’s speech and preventing “protests” that block roads or pipeline construction. They pretend it’s okay to censor some of what they call far-right views, just not quite as broad a spectrum of views as the terrorists of Antifa want to block. They pretend they are real news, when they are the role model for America’s #FakeNews industry.
Today’s journalists disgust me.

In this era of FAKE NEWS, I can’t figure out whether
Ann Coulter is speaking or not. There are posts showing it both ways here on FR this morning.
To: stinkerpot65
That’s true even if they just love puppies.

I swear I heard Ann Coulter described as being a security threat to UC Berkeley’s student body. Last time I saw anything happenning there, it was the students themselves who did all the threatening.

Liberty is not their goal, or desire.
That is the difference.

STROLL DOWN MEMORY LANE---
Berkeley has again become a symbolic flash point..... the site of a violent 1969 crackdown that delighted protest-weary Americans when Ronald Reagan, then Californias governor, ordered the National Guard to move in on student demonstrators. Are ya listening Pres Trump?

Trump should withhold all funding to Berkeley until the school can insure that free speech is protected. How can the government be confident that the research it funds is not tainted by political correctness?

Correct. I wrote Ron Robinson, head of YAF and told him he lost on this. He blamed Coulter.

If we were emboldened she would make the speech.
