We read:
"A political cartoon circulated at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee depicting a prominent national conservative author last week is sparking a free expression debate across the nation. David Horowitz spoke at UWM Thursday evening, drawing supporters and protesters, which resulted in a dialogue over a cartoon he is calling anti-Semitic.
In an interview with The Badger Herald, Horowitz said the depiction of him with a hooked nose by the Muslim Student Association in Milwaukee was inappropriate for a campus organization to circulate, but it was still protected under the First Amendment. "I haven't asked anybody to be outlawed or put in jail," Horowitz said. "Sure, it's free speech. It's just inappropriate for a campus. I don't think the university should have banned it from being posted, but had that been a cartoon on blacks or gays, there would have been hell to pay - there should be one standard rule."
Horowitz said he took more issue with how UWM's MSA allegedly tore down 2,000 of the posters promoting his event.... Horowitz said universities should have a "zero-tolerance policy for those who disrupt or interrupt invited speakers" since all sides of issues should be able to be discussed in a civil way. He pointed to his October visit to UW-Madison as a model example as opposed to Milwaukee, where 16 individuals were escorted out.

The cartoon looks like something fresh out of Hitler's propaganda -- but we have come to expect that from Muslims, of course. Muslim hate has replaced Nazi hate.

The obvious problem here is, if Mr. Horowitz were a leftist jew, every jew in the country would be up in arms! But since he's a conservative, we hear not a word from them. How typical.
The funny thing is, Horowitz was a liberal Jew. But he saw the light and converted to conservatism. The left now sees him as a traitor.

I just love how the supposedly enlightened, fair-minded, tolerant liberal left 1) will not tolerate free speech unless its speech they agree with, 2) won’t debate based on merits of thought, or debate the science behind the idea. Rather, they resort to labeling the speaker with hateful comments, name calling, or doing whatever they can to stiffle a free and open discussion of the issues. Now THAT’s pursuit of higher understanding, free exchange of ideas and rational social intercourse. I’m embarassed to call myself a liberal to be associated with these closed-minded ‘thugs’ of this college. Pity.
Pity, welcome to the real world, and congratulations on your escape from "the dark side".
