Those on the left condemn President Bush for screening audience members admitted to his speeches.  Many of them state that in a democracy a president should not be restricting access in that way.  There was a day when it wouldn’t have been necessary.  Unfortunately, it IS necessary today.

Over the past decade, the far left has become increasingly enraged.  They spew the venom of hate and ignorance.  When they disagree with anyone they shout them down.  While they assert their belief in the right of free speech they grant that right only for those with whom they agree. 

The most recent example of this illogical and sophomoric approach to disagreement came this week at the University of Connecticut.  Ann Coulter, who was invited to speak at the university, was prevented from speaking by far leftists who literally shouted over her while verbally attacking her.  Of course, Ms. Coulter has strong views.  Of course many at the university disagree with those views.  However, she didn’t really have a chance to put those views forward that night at UConn. 

Those on the left who say they promote free expression need to take stock.  The leftists who control our universities would be the first to scream if their “right” to academic expression was blocked.  Notice how they have defended Ward Churchill at the University of Colorado, Boulder?  Where is their outcry at the silencing of Ann Coulter at the University of Connecticut?

Those on the far left cannot get away with only allowing expression of ideas with which they agree.  Their hypocrisy is becoming increasingly obvious.  Those on the less far left cannot get away with not speaking out against their far left brethren.  No freebies here, my friends.  Free speech is free speech for all…whether or not we agree.  When those on the far left call Republicans Nazi’s they had better look in the mirror.  During the past decade, no one has acted more Nazi-like in America than those screaming students at the University of Connecticut.
