Nonie Darwish & Free Speech

Free speech under assault at our universities as Islamo-Fascist Awareness Week continues. (My experience was students at DePaul were respectful, except for the Leftists at the Q &A, but this is the exception). Email from a friend:

At UC Berkeley Arab American writer and public speaker Nonie Darwish confronted a hostile audience, including members of the radical Revolutionary Communist Party who had threatened to disrupt the event. Darwish described violence against Muslim women and talked about efforts on campus to intimidate and silence Arab Americans who speak out against terrorism.

I heard Nonie Darwish speak at the University of Chicago earlier this year. An eloquent and brave woman. Incorrect U with more on Nonie and an update with footage from hippie haven of yore, UW Madison.

UPDATE: On tape, the spokesman for the UW socialists, apparently a BMOC, defends Norm Finkelstein . Former (thanks for small favors), but still hanging around UW English professor reveals himself as a loony conspiracy theorist bigot--the neocons blew up the World Trade Center on 9/11.
