I'm running out of patience with this.
The college invited him to come speak at commencement. He's a respected reporter for one of the most liberal papers in the world, with a track record of being against the war. They gave him free reign to give a speech on the topic of his choice. He chose to speak against the war. That's his fucking right, and the first amendment be damned, it's in the implied contract between the speaker and the college. If they didn't want to listen they could have gotten up and walked away. But I'm god damn sick of the new movement in America to shout down anyone who speaks against the government's policies. The reason people like Michael Moore, Tim Robbins and Chris Hedges speak where they do is there is very little objective reporting these days. It is en vogue to kowtow to the President and wave the flag in the face of those who raise embarassing questions. So take your faux indignation at the man's audacity to actually speak his mind and beat it.
