Subtitle: Inside the Left's Assault on Free Speech and Free Minds

Presentation given at a University of California campus.

This may prove to be an interesting discussion. Started about 10 minutes ago.

[Humidston]

Thanks!! Watching now...

[leadpenny]

I gather she is a former adversary of Laura Schlesenger and now is one of her biggest supporters. I think I am going to miss 60 minutes for this.

[leadpenny]

Where has she been all my life? Question for Californians: Do you have a US House seat that you might encourage her to run for?

[leadpenny]

Question time. This might be good. It's UC Davis, if that means anything.

[watcher1]

I'm listening over the internet.
What does she look like?

[leadpenny]

She is beautiful, IMO. She has gone through some kind of political conversion. I wonder if she might consider switching teams, as Seinfeld would put it?

[Ligeia]

I've been watching since it started. I need to run out and can't leave, it's so interesting. One feminist said the right wing was using her like a puppet like they do Ward Connerly and Clarence Thomas. She said, "Uh, I don't think so..."

[watcher1]

I wonder if she might consider switching teams

Well..............
She's allready done that once!

[leadpenny]

I was being crude. She is an open lesbian. I was referring to those kind of teams.

She kind of reminds me of Camille Paglia.

[leadpenny]

She knows she is dealing with heads filled with mush.

[LarryLied]

This is great...thanks for posting the heads up.

[Ligeia]

I'm terrible with Hollywood names, but she reminds me of the woman who played the other dark-haired-not-Jacklyn-Smith "Charlie's Angel" and Marlo Thomas.

[Ligeia]

I hope you heard her points about the dangers of hate crime legislation.

[LarryLied]

First time I've seen her outside a sound bite. Sharp and a very good speaker. When it clicks with liberals what the left is doing, they become our best allies.

Her comments about shutting down debate by throwing out terms such as "homophobe" and "racist" apply well to the last few months on Free Republic. We have seen "antisemite" used constantly to shut off anyone who does follow a particular script.

[leadpenny]

I'm not a one issue kind of guy but she just lost me a bit with her pro-choice, without remorse (my words), stance.

[alnick]

I certainly don't agree with everything that she says, but she is someone that these college kids might just listen to, and she's giving them A LOT to think about regarding what they've been spoon fed up until now. Maybe a few of them will actually learn something from her.

[watcher1]

I'm starting to like her!

[Neets]

BTT

[leadpenny]

I was just imagining her teaming up with Ward Connerly on a speaking tour. Dyno-mite!
