Ya gotta love the way liberals like Hedges defend our 1st Admendment rights. :>) In an interview with the far left radio show "Democracy Now!," New York Times reporter Chris Hedges has this to say about students who heckled him when he delivered a viciously anti-American commencement speech at Illinois's Rockford College: People chanted the kind of cliches and aphorisms and jingoes [sic] that are handed to you by the state. "God Bless America" or people were chanting "send him to France"--this kind of stuff and that kind of contagion leads ultimately to tyranny, it's very dangerous and it has to be stopped. Ironically, AlterNet.org headlines the interview "The Silencing of Dissent on Graduation Day." And the students were rude to heckle him, but really, "it has to be stopped"? What does he propose doing, carting them all off to re-education camps? And does he really disapprove of "God Bless America"? Irving Berlin, you fascist! opinionjournal.com
