Quote

The suit alleged that school officials confiscated distribution bins for The Liberty and tossed them onto a trash heap. The bins, which contained copies of the paper, were allegedly removed without notice and thrown next to a dumpster.

Lower-ranking campus officials said they removed The Liberty's boxes to beautify the campus, but distribution bins for the campus paper were reportedly left untouched. Top school officials said they had not ordered the destruction.

Oh well

At least it was settled....

anyone looking for the answer to the question of what's wrong with the us, needs only to look here. that and the recent supreme court decision regarding political contributions makes it look as if the government is no longer trying to hide the fact that they are trying to remove "the people" from the equation.

And colleges are supposed to be THE place for diversity of thought, tolerance and respect...

Low level campus "officials" are hardly representative of big government.

This is very true
But
There training and teaching those who becoome representive of our government

These examples are not rare
and no one has posted an example of progressive seeing the same discrimination as regularly as conservative groups are being discriminated against on college campi

I will add
THere is an example of a repbulican holding office in Washington state I believe, where he became pissed at a newspaper that was printing stories negative to him
He proposed a law that would somehow make the paper and major poluter and cost them $150k in taxes a year
Same bullshit
Different party

It seems like no one knows who removed the boxes. I think it is unlikely it was a cabal of liberal professors.

I'm sure there are examples out there of progressive papers being the butt of stupid policies or actions, but frankly I don't see the point in doing a lot of research into it.

This story seems like a non-story to me.

The Daily Cal has been tossed on a few occasions, one of which was done by the current mayor of Berkeley.

But they often protect their bosses ..... "Plausible deniability" and all that bollocks...

sort of like "Who will rid me of this troublesome knight ..... Oh I didn't mean for you to actually Kill him... Oh well f'shame"

talk about missing the point. well, it was that the fine was $1000 and the legal fees were $100,000. that was the point. that the legal fees were so high. jeesh!

Kent State atrocity exceeds anything that happened to these poor newspapers.

That sort of thing happened to the atheist club at U of MD, College Park all the time. We were harrassed from all angles, official (admins tried to hinder us from forming and the campus bank refused to open our account) and unofficial ( xtians came to our meetings to be disruptive and shout us down.).

Shit, that's nothing.

Sheriff Joe down in AZ actually has his thugs arrest his critics and lock them up for a weekend.

And then they get let go without charges.

But, he keeps getting elected.

I would like to see that story

You could always try reading the QUESTION in the OP instead of inventing strawmen to whack.

just trying to get an idea of your ever fluid thoughts on the matter. You seem to think it's OK that this happened.

If you're not, you would have added an answer to your reply.

It would be nice to hear if you support or denounce what happened.

He did answer the OP's question.

Pointing out that the same thing or worse does happen to progressives does not in any way imply that he condones it happening to conservatives, it just means he's taking Rush's post at face value.

Do you want to have an ideagasm?

Your strawman has already been debunked.

is that a yes or a no to your condonation?

So how does this logic work?

Republicans were able to withstand that brainwashing? Or, they just didn't go to college? Or they are just generally smarter than Liberals?
