Well, that's what he wants them to do. He's counting on it. Look at how frequently he uses the word 'fascist' on his web site. I hope he goes to Brown. What they have to do is set up some sort of debate or forum. The way I assess it, he is really clever at knowing the media and setting up stuff like this, but he just isn't smart enough, and/or has too much of a quick temper to ever last through a fair debate. Witness how he wouldn't debate Tim Wise (who is not even a master academic speaker) and he was only willing to go against 20 year old sophomores (and they only asked the ACLU and the Cal Democrats, of all groups) at UC Berkeley, and then he blew his top three questions into the discussion. I mean, the truth or validity of a particular perspective is not proven in a debate - only the skill of the debater is demonstrated. But it does have the appearance of being so. Just like the actions of these easily baited people stealing the paper make it seem as though all 'liberals' want to callously deny free speech to the persecuted conservatives who are living under political correctness orthodoxy.
