Still MORE leftist attacks on free speech?

[Justin Schwartz]

You can't believe the conservatives' version of events. I once particiapted 
in an anti-Jean Kirkpatrick demo at Michigan in 1988, where she was to 
receive an honorary degree. After much discussion, we decided NOT to be 
disruptive, but to politely show up at a talk sponsored by the department of 
poli sci with signs, let her talk, and ask tough questions in a civil way 
during the question session. (Very wimpy, I know.) She showed up, goggled, 
and fled. She didn't even give her talk. In the American Spectator, the 
National Review, and George F. Will's column, we learned that we had 
censored her with loud disruption, shouted her down, etc. It was not true; 
we hadn't. They lied. --jks
