I imagine that if he’d done this to the President of the United States it would be a heroic act of speaking truth to power.

Agreed. They are just angry he insulted their guy.

Stanford has protest marches on campus because Rumsfeld is a fellow at the Hoover institution. Tom Delay gets invited by college Republicans here or there, the deans cancel the speeches as needlessly provocative. Lawrence Summers can't speak at the University of California, after being fired from Harvard for speculating in public. Ann Coulter is physically assaulted at talks, as well as shouted at, when she can speak. And nobody would even think of inviting a global warming debunker to give a speech anywhere.

The reason is simple, the academy is left and modern leftists are traitors. They think they are promoting peace and avoiding war by siding with the enemies of their country. They think it undermines the consensus what they consider fascism needs to survive. The irony is that actual fascism doesn't need it but they cater to it slavishly. They have no principles, just partisan treason. Ever form of funding and subsidy to these scum should be ended yesterday - it is utterly obscene that tax money coerced from law abiding patriots is supporting this tripe.
