I can't believe it.

Nearly one month later, the Ithacites are still up in arms over the idea that someone dared have the temerity to criticize liberal bias at Cornell and Ithaca College.

Today's "guest column" (how many has it been? Four? Five? And that's not even counting the outraged letters to the editors) blames the liberal bias on, you guessed it, conservatives:

It is true there are a disproportionate number of liberals on the faculties of the better colleges and universities, Cornell University and Ithaca College included. However, the reason for this may not be the elimination of conservatives by their liberal rivals on the basis of their political views. Rather, it may result from the rule of the survival of the fittest -- idea or opinion. Because the ideas and opinions of liberals appear to more closely correspond to reality than do those of conservatives, they are more likely to survive the tests for truth...

Ithaca is the City of Evil.

Author John Kadar is a professional gadfly and property rights enemy, who files anti-development lawsuits to "keep the pressure on to make sure no large tenant will see the site [Ithaca] as a hospitable location".

Oh, this is the worst rationalization of all. There's a liberal bias, the author says, but hey, that's just the natural order of things. They can't survive in the academic world - of course they're being weeded out. If they could survive, why, they would, wouldn't they?

Hey, let's change that around a bit...

Yes, the Jews are dying, Eichmann says to himself. But hey, that's just the natural order of things. They just can't survive in this world - of course they're being weeded out. If they could survive, why, they would, wouldn't they?

Haven't the libs been telling us for years now not to blame the victim?
