Can’t help but notice the writer never quite gets around to substantiating the “hate speech” slur. That’s a pretty strong term to put in a title without backing it up.

"Can’t help but notice the writer never quite gets around to substantiating the “hate speech” slur."

The article quotes him thusly:

"I just want to burn it down," Yiannopoulos said in an interview last month with CNN. "I am speaking on college campuses because education ... is really what matters.

That's kind of an odd quote; it's like they cut off the first part, making it unclear what he wants to "burn down," but implying that he wants to burn down college campuses.

The quote sounds like something that's being taken out of context, or deliberately edited to create a misleading impression. Based on the second half of the sentence, I would not be surprised if what he wanted to "burn down" was the climate of intolerance on college campuses, or political correctness, not actual buildings.

But even if the latter, is that any worse than wanting to blow up the White House, advocating a military coup, or many of the other things coming from the left?
