Sorry, printed the wrong article link, with a lack of any real squealing. In this link, Don Gerth grouses about it, but it probably isn't actually squealing per se. This editorial is really getting into the squealing zone. When hecklers are shouting down liberal opinions, they are "buffoons" with a "mob mentality." And if you want some real, first-class squealing, try this article.

Again, my point was not that she was shouted down. She shouldn't have been. My point was that this kind of rude reception has been standard at campuses for conservative speakers*, and no articles or newspaper columns ever appeared about any of them, and it didn't make national news. Hypocrisy.

*A typical example: Ann Coulter at Cornell:

...Coulter was heckled by the left throughout her speech, but in a way that she found peculiar. "It was not arguments they were reacting to – I could have been talking to a stone wall, so closed – or empty -- were these young minds. It was isolated words that set them off."...



...Coulter managed to make it to the question period, but only just. During the discussion, the podium and stage were pelted with oranges while one champion of the people after another got up to talk about racist oppression they knew about personally...

After awhile, one man in the audience stood up and after ranting about his "slave ancestors," lunged at the platform where Coulter stood. The police managed to grab him just before he reached her, and took him away. The Cornell administration was lucky – the lunatic was white (his slave relatives were allegedly Scots). Finally, an older black man got up and began a rant he refused to end. The campus police are not about to arrest older black men and risk being photographed, and then subsequently denounced as a "racist Gestapo" (a practice common among campus radicals). So Coulter left.
