On Nov. 10, under heavy pressure from other students as well as the administration, the College Republicans at Jesuit-affiliated Fordham University cancelled a lecture by conservative political commentator Ann Coulter. The appearance had been scheduled for Nov. 29 at the school’s Rose Hill campus in the Bronx, New York. Source corrected to site style.

FTA President McShane had this to say: "Her rhetoric is often hateful and needlessly provocative — more heat than light — and her message is aimed squarely at the darker side of our nature.” Is it me or did he just describe our newly re-elected president? Bet he wouldn´t use those words if POTUS came to campus to give a speach. These Repub students should have either found a better speaker (and there are many) or held to their guns and kept Coulter.

FTA: "Vavala concedes that free speech is a right, but argues that Coulter has made a career out of insulting various minority groups."
And so the only conclusion that can be drawn is that free speech at Fordham is a right no more.

I remember the Catholic church when they were people of character. Their colleges and universities are no different than any secular school except in the tuition rates they charge. They stand for nothing.
Why mess with Fordham? They are legends only in their own minds. Prejudiced from the word go.

They cain´t hep it!
Their little brains can´t survive intellectual challenge.
And, they´ve just proved that they don´t know anything about the use of rhetorical devices like exaggeration, and they prove that they don´t read the books they condemn.
They´re ignoramuses. And the Repubs should have stood their ground by making the argument for vigorous intellectual debate. Every time Repubs or Conservatives back down, more ground is ceded to the Left.
The Left wins by piggish bullying.

Sarcasm (a la Ann Coulter) is now being confined to use only by Democrats, because in the hands of Constitutionalists (a better term I think than "republican" or "libertarian" to describe what we need to be) sarcasm is "hateful" and "unnecessarily provocative."
We are truly at a crossroads on free speech.

There are plenty of Republican speakers available. Coulter´s recent comments about "retards" were over the line. When called on it, she doubled down instead of acknowledging that there was no reason for her to speak like that.
Her comments were as stupid as Akin´s. If she can´t see that, then she deserves to lose attention.

This kind of closed-minded dogmatism and censorship of opposing views is childish and sinister. It is a good example of what is wrong with American universities and why they produce drones to work and vote for characters like Obama and the Clintons. Once upon a time children went to college to expand their mental horizons and acquire a truly liberal education and point of view. That has all changed, as disgraceful episodes, of which this is merely the latest, continue to remind us. There do not seem to be any adults in charge of American universities any longer. Students seem to attend university thinking they already have all the answers and are there to teach the grownups the facts of life, social justice, international relations, etc. It would be funny if it were not ruinous.

I am Jesuit educated. And Fordham, GU, Notre Dame have managed to embarrass themselves in their slavish adoration of the left and Obama. That said, young Republicans and conservatives,especially those at Christian and Catholic schools, are going to have to start standing up for what they believe. The road is going to get a lot tougher.

The posters here have it exactly right. The Jesuits are Marxist to their core. My brother is a Jesuit, and I´m constantly getting lectured about the evils of war and how ashamed he is to be an American. (Funny, he never mentions abortion, though.) I once asked him what country did it right if we were so bad, and he gave me that "does not compute" look that liberals give you when you put them on the spot. I was then told that "it wasn´t that simple." The pastor at the local Jesuit univeristy church once gave a sermon about how both pro-life and pro-choice people are concerned about the sanctity of life. The congregation applauded him with those defiant liberal looks on their faces. I confronted him after mass and asked him what he meant and he defensively continued to lecture me on pro-choice Catholics. The Jebbies just couldn´t hide their glee when Obama ran for office. I used to substitue the word "Obama" for "Hosana" when we would sing that part of the mass. Finally, I quit going. I just couldn´t take it anymore.

But now I *must* wonder if these sources have been misleadingly edited.

The Chicago Sun-Times, citing sources, reported Monday that federal investigators are also taking an independent look at former Chicago Ald. Sandi Jackson. Sandi Jackson acknowledged to NBC Chicago back in December that state officials had questioned her about a $69,000 discrepancy between her campaign finance reports and those of her husband.

LOS ANGELES — It’s not easy to find a fresh way to photograph Oprah Winfrey. That’s why the editors of O, The Oprah Magazine, recently tried to create a shot that recalled the glory days of Ms. Winfrey’s syndicated talk show. They arranged to photograph her for its April 2013 issue as she stepped onstage to speak to 5,000 attendees at the magazine’s annual conference, a New Age slumber party of sorts for women held at the convention center here last month.

Standing behind the liquor store counter the man quietly and anonymously goes about his job serving customers. He had arrived for his shift promptly at 3pm after filling up his gleaming silver Toyota Rav 4 with gas and taking out the trash at his modest two-storey yellow clapboard house in a downtrodden Massachusetts neighbourhood. This a fascinating glimpse into the life of Onyango ‘Omar’ Obama, 68, the half-uncle of Barack Obama - and an illegal immigrant who Mitt Romney has already signalled should be deported if he wins his bid for the Presidency today.

A CIA document outlining a Mafia-connected plan to assassinate Cuban leader Fidel Castro for $150,000 is among thousands of Robert F. Kennedy documents made public Thursday, just days before the 50th anniversary of the Cuban missile crisis. In the 1964 plan, the mob and "patriotic Cuban exiles" eventually settled on a payment of $100,000 for assassinating Castro, $20,000 for his brother Raúl and $20,000 for revolutionary Ernesto "Che" Guevara, plus $2,500 for expenses.

STANDING BEFORE reporters Thursday, President Obama declined an invitation to compare the recent scandals weighing down his administration with those that forced President Nixon to resign in 1974. So allow us to do the work for him: There is no comparison. Nixon, in a series of crimes that collectively came to be known as Watergate, directed from the White House and Justice Department a concerted campaign against those he perceived as political enemies, in the process subverting the FBI, the IRS, other government agencies and the electoral process to his nefarious purposes. Mr. Obama has done nothing of the kind.

President Obama’s press conference in the rain was not a success, if by success, his supporters would mean an event which convinces anyone who doesn’t work for him that he’s getting ahead of the scandal deluge. The sight of a Marine holding an umbrella over his head only added to the weirdness of the event. So what did we learn? 1. He has full confidence in Attorney General Eric Holder, the man who purportedly recused himself (whenever) without putting it in writing (whatever). When asked about the untrammeled snooping on Associated Press reporters and editors,

“I look forward to taking some questions at tomorrow’s press conference,” President Obama said last night, after announcing the resignation of the acting IRS commissioner Steven Miller. The president scheduled a noon press conference today with Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan in honor of his visit. Reporters, however, found themselves waiting outside in the rain for Obama, who was 47 minutes late. Only New York Times reporter Mark Landler had an umbrella.

Appearing on Laura Ingraham‘s radio show this afternoon, Fox News senior political analyst Brit Hume suggested some Republicans were “stupid” to consider impeachment of President Obama a viable response to the ongoing scandals regarding the Benghazi attacks, the IRS targeting of conservative groups, and the Justice Department secret seizure of AP phone records. Likely referring to some GOP lawmakers, including Sen. James Inhofe (R-OK) who has put impeachment on the table as an option for handling the Benghazi fallout, Ingraham asked Hume to comment on how some Republican leaders have “ran to the microphone” to suggest removal
