According to Wiki, Davis is now “graduate studies professor emeritus of history of consciousness at the University of California and presidential chair at the University of California, Santa Cruz” whatever that all means.

Never mind that she was implicated in the murder of a judge, relocated to Cuba for a time, attended and supported Jim Jones’s People Temple, and ran for Vice-President on the Communist Party ticket.

Why, the Rolling Stones even wrote a song for her: Sweet Black Angel.

It’s all good.

Gray, Reds do care about free speech, but not as you and I understand it. Way back when, I once taxed Angela Davis with her proposal to restrict free speech. She responded that “we” (the Reds) had free speech; everyone was free to speak the truth, just not free to speak lies (as the Reds saw them).

So everyone is perfectly free to parrot the Party line. Can’t get freer than that.

a black conservative commenter writes about health care.

On Tuesday, Sen. Arlen Specter stood through a slew of challenges from frustrated voters at a meeting in Lebanon, Pa. At one point, a burly officer stood immediately behind a man who angrily questioned the former Republican turned Democrat.

You cannot engage the Left with Free Speech because they do not care about your Free Speech.

Because perpetual victims cannot be oppressors: they’ll do to us what they falsely claimed the Right did to them….

Honestly, after checking your links of the logo my first impression is this:

Are the ghostly, light colored, non-distinct figures behind the logo, scattered across a map of the nation, representative of all of the deceased victims this Obamacare plan will create?

Hey, they even have a lighter area immediately behind the center of the logo for them to “go into”!

Can you imagine the doctor’s advice now:

“Take two pills and go into the light….”

I bet the link was trying to sell us clothespins for our noses.

Well, you do remember the guy who got in trouble at a a college for reading an acclaimed anti-Klan book because it was about the Klan, right? Reading it showed he was a racist, even though the book was anti-Klan.

Oh, and then there was the professor who criticized the term “wetback” in a class lecture who got in trouble for being racist, because “wetback” is a racist term. The fact that he was criticizing it and not supporting it was irrelevant.

So Ms. Pelosi and her fellow travelers aren’t exactly renowned for their feats of logic.

“was reminiscent of the kinds of things that drove Timothy McVeigh to bomb the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City in 1995.”

Mr Baird would do well to learn the facts of what he’s talking about before he shoots off his mouth. By his own admission, what drove Timothy McVeigh to bomb the Federal building in OKC was the actions of the Clinton administration in Waco, and other FBI and government raids around the country. In other words, the situation is exactly the opposite of what Mr. Baird contends. It was the actions of the government and the use of their great power that goaded Mr. McVeigh, not people opposing government policy. Granted, it was a leap of logic to go from that to blowing up innocent children, but the least we should do in talking about a horrific event like that is get our facts straight. Mr. McVeigh’s own words (at the link) tell the tale. Mr. Baird owes everyone who came out peacefully to exercise their free speech rights a complete and total apology.

“Baird said a “coordinated national effort” to disrupt public meetings with shouts and demonstrations, which he said Republican leaders were “egging on,” was reminiscent of the kinds of things that drove Timothy McVeigh to bomb the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City in 1995.”

Pelousy merely compared the protesters to Nazis, because one protester (yep, one) was carrying a poster with a swastika and a NO slash through it. So, by her logic, being anti-Nazi makes you a … Nazi.

Or maybe we’re just seeing it now.
