CENSORSHIP RAISES ITS UGLY HEAD IN BERKELEY

Dispute at Berkeley By DEAN E. MURPHY

BERKELEY, Calif., Jan. 13 — In her own day, the Russian-born anarchist Emma Goldman roused emotions including considerable fear with her advocacy of radical causes like organized labor, atheism, sexual freedom and opposition to military conscription.

"Emma Goldman is a woman of great ability and personal magnetism, and her persuasive powers are such to make her an exceedingly dangerous woman," Francis Caffey, the United States attorney in New York, wrote in 1917.

Goldman died in 1940, more than two decades after being deported to Russia with other anarchists in the United States who opposed World War I. Now her words are the source of deep consternation once again, this time at the University of California, which has housed Goldman's papers for the past 23 years.

In an unusual showdown over freedom of expression, university officials have refused to allow a fund-raising appeal for the Emma Goldman Papers Project to be mailed because it quoted Goldman on the subjects of suppression of free speech and her opposition to war.

Easy one:

They have to prevail-to get their tax-cutting, regulation-reducing, tort-reforming ideas to become a reality over the desperate obstruction of the Marxist/Leninist Treason Lobby in Congress.

The only reason these America-haters CONTINUE to obstruct is that they are liars. They KNOW that the Bush ideas will lead to prosperity, and that they will, as a result, never see power again.

The left must be defeated and purged. There is no other alternative for the survival of our republic...
