And speaking of Ann, here's a short piece from yesterday's Family Research Council update --
Students Against Hate Hating Ann Coulter
Conservative firebrand Ann Coulter is used to throwing off sparks wherever she goes. The best-selling author of Treason and How to Talk to a Liberal-If You Must was forced to cut short her speech at the University of Connecticut recently when "Students Against Hate" led others in sustained booing and jeering. "We encourage diverse opinion at UConn," said Eric Knudsen, a 19-year-old journalism student, the group's leader, "but this is blatant hate speech." So they shut her down. Now, there's liberalism for you. Shut up, he explained. Notice, Eric is a journalism major. Studies of student radicalism have shown that engineering, business, science, and pre-med students are almost never the campus cutups. They have to study. If Eric has the time, he might research Thomas Jefferson's view of academic freedom. Mr. Jefferson said of his University of Virginia: "Here we are not afraid to follow truth, wherever it may lead, nor to tolerate error so long as reason is left free to combat it." Campus liberals should try practicing a little of the tolerance they preach.
