Free Speech Problems

[Phoebe]

With a few exceptions, I enjoy Conor Friedersdorf's columns at the Atlantic. He's a former protege of Andrew Sullivan's at the Dish, isn't he? Well, Ann Coulter first being disinvited to speak at Berkeley, and now re-invited. Here's the best line:

"Her critics would have done well to deny her attention by treating her scheduled appearance with the ambivalent yawn every provocateur most dreads."

She is probably sacrificing a goat right now in thanks to her dark lord for all this controversy about her victimisation.

Can't agree more. We've got campus riots on our hand and Howard Dean arguing for censoring hate speech. The riots MIGHT be false flag instigators, but I think the bulk of the rioters are just angry and young. They want to fight injustice, but the worst they have right now are right wing loudmouths saying mean things, and they can't be bothered to verify legitimate targets.
