Right-winger invited to local school
It seems the local university is to play host to right-wing author Dan Flynn, who is touting his latest tome "Why the Left Hates America". I think I'll go down and check it out.
While his message may be unwelcome, I don't think he should be censored or shouted down. This type needs to be confronted with all the facts which they are either ignorant of or willfully ignore.
After all, who poses the greater threat to Americans? Leftists who might give them a stern lecture on the difference between right and wrong? Or someone who's willing to shoot first and crow about it later?
Right-wing terror has long been a fact of life in America, and it's about time we took notice of it. The Ku Klux Klan ran rampant through whole regions of the country for decades, with a campaign of harassment, intimidation, and murder.
