"Hothouse flowers threw another hissy fit on a college campus recently. But this time it was different. This time the target in their progressive crosshairs wasn't some conservative bogeyman whose views were deemed unacceptable and so had to be shouted down.
"This time left-wing students, at the College of William & Mary in Virginia, went after the ACLU, an organization that champions all sorts of liberal causes and no one is calling right-wing.
"'Call me a bad person, but it's fun to watch the left devour its own. And here's something else to giggle about: The ACLU speaker who was silenced by the progressive mob was on campus to speak about ... free speech on campus.
'You can't make this stuff up.
'This time the speech police were students affiliated with Black Lives Matter and were angry with the ACLU for defending white supremacist rights to rally in Charlottesville, Virginia. So instead of letting the woman from the ACLU speak, they chanted things like, "liberalism is white supremacy" and "Your free speech hides beneath white sheets" -- reportedly for a full hour.
"It was bound to happen. Why would left-wing students be content with simply shouting down conservatives? Why wouldn't they shout down any views they don't like? That's what authoritarians do. Stalinists aren't happy until everybody thinks the way they do, until all unacceptable ideas are crushed." . . .
