>>I have to disagree with you wishy-washy attitudes about shouting down fascists on campus. You seem to arguing that for the sake of fairness, we ought to let Hitler have a good go at making political speeches.<< Raymond - I call them like I see them. I've read a lot of credible reports of intolerant behavior by leftists on some college campuses. Professors and students with conservative views are treated, at best, with absolutely no decency or human respect in many cases. They are not allowed to express their views. Refusing to allow dissent is a primary feature of fascism, so I believe that such intolerance is fascistic. I didn't say anything about "shouting down" anyone, nor did I advocate allowing Hitler to make speeches. However, I do believe that students should be exposed to and encouraged to consider the full spectrum of political viewpoints. That's what democracy is all about. It isn't about "rigidity and dismissiveness," allowing those who hold the correct views to speak. - Allen
