I think this is a difficult decision. One the one hand, she is bring honest and caring in her desire not to ruin the graduating seniors’ big day. The problem on the other hand is that canceling shows lefties that this practice works to silence and marginalize their opposition.
This demonstrates that those who criticize Palin’s “State University” education are phonies. They won’t even listen to a woman who has been a Provost at Stanford if she is not a flaming liberal. The only thing that makes Fascists happy is total agreement with their agenda.
How do you oppose these people without acquiescing to them? Palin’s tactic is better than Rice’s. You get right in their face. You make fun of them and ridicule them just like they make fun of you. You can’t take a back seat to them. Breitbart said it best, you tell them to go to Hell. Palin wouldn’t quite phrase it that way.
We can keep backing away but they see that as victory and we can’t keep giving them victories.
