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.
>> what was once the left’s moral high ground over free speech on campus.
The divisive, repressive Left never held the moral high ground on speech. It is the enemy of liberty.
Every liberal is a violent totalitarian thug.
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.
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.
I thought it was a continuation of the Lefty’s war on woman.
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?
I’m sorry, but how does losing, capitulating, and not speaking “embolden” us?,
If we were emboldened she would make the speech.
Except for Young America’s Foundation and that pseudocon wimp Ron Robinson. This is why their takeover of Young Americans for Freedom was a bad thing. When I was in YAF, we would have escorted Ann through the crowd.
Uh, seriously?
Maybe, retracted their invitation but they did not recind their support. NYT what a bag...
The problem with Coulter’s cancellation is that it confirms for the left-wing domestic terrorists that conservatives are not willing to take a stand that will result in some (or many) of the domestic terrorists, because of their own violent actions, getting themselves killed.
