Speaking of hypocrisy, it would do my heart good if liberals who express outrage
about a privately funded pundit implying a presidential candidate is a "faggot"
would express equal outrage over a publicly funded professor calling victims of
9/11 "little Eichmanns." When it comes to censorship, the p.c. police and hate
crime legislators take second place to no one.
