Re: Free speech zones and the campus echo chamber, May 5 Vincent Carroll column; and Why I invited Ann Coulter to speak at UC Berkeley, May 5Pranav Jandhyala column.

Two articles in The Denver Postconsidered the Berkeley campus free-speech uproar. I believe Ann Coulter should have been received peacefully as a speaker at the University of California.But as folks blame academic intolerance (Vincent Carroll), which isnt rampant, or university liberals and sensitive liberal students in particular, let me remind readers that Coulter herself is an ultra-right-wing, authoritarian, intolerant, society-dividing, virulent protester, a fear- and hate-mongering, you are victims demagogue whose profitable books trash this group as harming other Americans or that group as socialist takers from the truly deserving. She despises society itself.

So liberal protesters protest the appearance of an extremist right-wing protester? Ironic. Its sad that the speech was canceled, but theres the U.S.A.today. And, with extremist wealthy authoritarians swarming into Washington, D.C., positions recently, perhaps we need more protests against their drive to destroy representative democracy.
