Be sure to read the followup to columnist Mike Adams’ Life and how to live it, called Life and how to live it, Part II, now in our Columnist section. It’s another lesson about how to stand up to the leftist numbskulls and never give in to them.
Here’s a snippet:
It was almost midnight when I decided to make two difficult phone calls the next morning. The first would be to Patti. I would apologize for sending an email to her daughter that said the constitution protected her speech just as it had protected “bigoted, unintelligent, and immature speech for many years.”
Patti (a professor) and her husband (a former professor) both thought I had libeled their daughter (a student) by expressing that opinion in a private email. They were wrong about that. They also thought their daughter’s email (the one that prompted my response) blaming the attacks of 9/11 on the United States was fully protected by the U.S. Constitution. They were right about that.
The second phone call would be to the university attorney. After resisting for weeks, I decided to capitulate to Patti’s demand that I allow the university to examine all of the emails I sent that week in order to search for additional evidence of “libel” against her daughter. This would involve going into my email account as well as examining the university’s back-up tapes. It would also require reading some of my private email correspondence.
All of this came about because a leftist family thought that anti-American rhetoric was free speech while criticism of anti-American rhetoric was “libel.” And they were threatening to sue.
