New Era et al should spend some time considering the above bolded sentences.
Thats BS, its the same kind of statement as Republican fanbois, saying all of this Russian Trump ties business is because Liberals can't accept the fact that Trump won, and Hillary lost, and they should move on.

Case in point.
I don't mean to be insulting, but how is not a serious issue that posters continually attack opinions as being categorically evil, deserving of punishment, and then, discard them without addressing substance once.

First, bonus points for the PCU reference. Great flick.
Now, I’m going to take the opposite stance on this. I get the protest. I get why liberal students are pushing back. I have to listen to these whiny little conservatives bring their garbage theories, backed by garbage websites, into my classroom and derail my lesson plan. I have to spend more time fact-checking and debunking the stuff these twits espouse rather than working with the majority of the students on the content that matters. I’m forced to give these little bastards all the time they demand, because if I don’t they go and make a formal complaint with the administration that I am preventing their perspective from being represented. I can get called up on the mat for not respecting these little snowflakes’ unique view of the world.
Education shouldn’t be ideologically based, but the College Republicans have made it that way. David Horowitz and Ben Shapiro have made teaching in higher ed, especially political content, a freaking minefield. These are the same people that complain that liberals are all about being special, but they are the first to demand special treatment in class. Of all the problems I have seen in my department only once has a content issue been raised by a non-conservative student. Compare that with the dozens of complaints that get lodged each year because the conservative ideal is not represented in what they think is a fair or accurate light. The College Republicans are the first to protest. I think it’s great that they should be fed some of their own medicine.
So you think the liberal professor who was hospitalized also deserved her injury because she chose to consort with the enemy?

because pedophilia is bad, just ask that alt right, thought provoking, 1st Amendment hero, Milo about that
Speaking of Kellyanne, it's been a while since we've talked about her. There was that nonsense about her on the couch which I'm glad we ignored, but otherwise she's been incredibly quiet as of late. Coincidentally or not, the level of crazy from the Trump camp has also gone down since she's been quasi-muzzled.

she tried to defend Trumps claim of Obama wire tapping him this past weekend, was typical absurdity.
But hey Ben Carson is the number one trend on Twitter, because he sort of said those slaves who came to America? Just immigrants.....yeah. He is the all-time proof doctors are not necessarily smart.

Obviously Ben Carson is a very intelligent human being, but his verbal abilities are probably not so great.
I read the comments in question - pretty sure it was a very, very bad attempt at being poetic.
There are already four GOP senators who will not vote for this unless it's...well...basically Obamacare lol.
Quote:
Four key Republican senators said they would oppose any new plan that would leave millions of Americans uninsured.
Sens. Rob Portman (R-Ohio), Shelley Moore Capito (R. W.Va.), Cory Gardner (R-Colo.) and Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) said they would vote against any reform bill that fails to protect Americans who became eligible for coverage under the ACA’s expansion of Medicaid, the government-run health program for the poor and disabled.
All four senators represent states that opted to expand their Medicaid program under the ACA.
“We will not support a plan that does not include stability for Medicaid expansion populations or flexibility for states,” they wrote in a letter to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.).
“Reform should not come at the cost of disruption in access to health care for our country’s most vulnerable and sickest individuals. Any changes made to how Medicaid is financed through the state and federal governments should be coupled with significant new flexibility so they can efficiently and effectively manage their Medicaid programs to best meet their own needs,” the letter said
Sorry, I wasn't referring to Murray, but this section of the article:
Quote:
But if conservative students cannot invite speakers who hold what I and many other liberals consider reprehensible views, then they cannot invite many of the most prominent conservative thinkers and Republican politicians in the United States today.
I disagree with conservatives on most issues but I wouldn't generally call their views reprehensible.
That's the problem, though; there is a broad range of views, a broad range of conservative speakers that varying people want to denounce as reprehensible. The article itself notes that Condoleeza Rice was disinvited, who I assume would fall pretty much exactly into your category of "disagree on most issues but wouldn't call reprehensible" (same here, by the way). I remember listening to an interview with Greg Lukianoff talking about being spit on. Or look at someone referenced earlier in this thread - Ben Shapiro. The guy is ultra-conservative, but obviously not a racist, and it goes without saying that he's not a neo-nazi. But obviously some people find him reprehensible enough that the same kind of stuff happens to him, and the same sort of cretins applaud and justify it.

Stifling free speech will inevitably backfire on the left. You have no right to silence people you oppose regardless of how ill advised or incorrect they are. If sunlight is truly the best disinfectant, those ideas will be destroyed by logic or truth in the free exchange of ideas. The left will lose the majority of the population if they cling to identity politics, collective guilt, and silencing of their opposition.
You have to wonder if he's just going to keep coming up with new people to send on Sunday news shows and allowing them to blow up and embarrass themselves, only to be replaced by more disposable talking heads.
