Berkley is home of far lefties and profound hypocrites.

Can’t believe I’m siding with Bill on something.

Imho, free speech at Berkeley died in the summer of 1972.

Or was it the summer of 1968...?

Berkley is home of far lefties and profound hypocrites.

Maher's one of them, so what's the problem?

That "Maher has a few facts on his side.", translation - that he's finally telling the truth, is probably the source of the consternation, and if Maher can "get it" once in Blue Moon, others might too, is the worry.

Strange:

The liberal students are standing with the Homophobic & Misogynic muslims and against a die-hard liberal stating the truth about said muslims.

There are a number of blue moons in a decade, so I’d reference “once a decade” rather than “in a blue moon”.

LOL

Bill’s a big boy. He told me so. He can fight his own battles.

“It’s the only religion,” Maher recently quipped on his HBO show, “Real Time,” “that acts like the Mafia, that will f-—ing kill you if you say the wrong thing, draw the wrong picture or write the wrong book.”

No Bill, as you’re about to discover your own religion, liberalism, does essentially the same thing everyday. You’re an apostate so you’re in for a character assassination ... or worse.

“Free speech” in Berkeley has always meant shouting down opposing viewpoints.

Calling him a racist and bigot? Where have I heard that? That’s just their modus operandi. I’d never defend Maher, I once considered even going to one of his performances to somehow protest, heckling, I don’t know but yes, he’s said very outrageous things.

"The students at the University of California at Berkeley represent a diverse array of students from all walks of life,"...

Which means no matter what, someone will be offended by something.

Academia is all for censorship of speech since their ideas won’t stand up to truth. Nazi Germany still lives in the minds of Marxists.

You never see these articles in the MSM when it is a conservative shouted down or disinvited

Not so strange. Liberal students (with the exception being children of the elite) are basically leftist pawns. They believe what they are told to believe. To make the connection you have made requires critical thinking which is discouraged amongst the leftist faithful.
