"Today, on college campuses, liberal and left-wing students who burn newspapers, shout down opponents, accuse conservatives of racism, rape, whatever, are generally treated with dignity. "

"There was a time when universities were the strongholds of truly liberal ideas. Then, "liberal" meant what it says. It meant free inquiry into every opinion and a willingness to give all views an opportunity to be heard.

Today, the word "liberal" means exactly the opposite. Today, "liberals" burn college newspapers that print opinions not to the liking of "liberal" professors and their students. "Liberals" are also opposed to freedom of speech. On campuses from New England to California, "liberal" choruses shout down any speaker who presents views that "liberals" do not want heard.

Religious bigotry is another feature of the "liberal" point-of-view. At a number of universities -- from Harvard in the East to the University of San Francisco in the West -- anti-Jewish hatred, thinly disguised as opposition to the policies of the government of Israel, has led to physical confrontations with Jewish students, the invasion of Jewish religious establishments by hate-mongers and assaults on anyone who disagrees with the anti-Jewish bias preached in classrooms pretending to deal with the Israel-Arab dispute.

A considerable number of professors, born in this country, now also teach students that the attack on the World Trade Center was our fault. Some also say that the murder of nearly 3,000 Americans was no doubt instigated or at least deserved by the Bush administration. Others call President Bush a dictator and claim that everything "wrong" in the world is our failing."

"Homosexuals, feminists, the ACLU, The American Way are all responsible for 9/11"

-Jerry Fallwell

"Spanish is the language of the ghetto"

-Newt Gengrich

David Duke going to a holocaust-deiners conference in Iran which I heard no peeps from conservatives about.

"Why should blacks have a say, they only represent 12% of the population"
-Rush Limbaugh

Micheal Savage on the civil rights act

Media Matters - Savage called Media Matters item "very accurate," continued his attack on civil rights

I would love to put your theory to the test and have someone from CAIR to speak at Liberty college or Bob Jones college. If you think conservatives are so tolerant of an opposing opinion. The poor guy probably wouldnt leave there alive. Get it through your head that there is equal amount of hate and bigotry on both sides. As John McCain said during the 2000 primary "We must not listen to agents of intolerance such as Al Sharpton and Louis Farakahn on the left along with Pat Robertson and Jerry Fallwell on the right"

Apparently I need to spell out what "not tolerating dissent" means. Find me examples of conservatives doing these things liberals do:

Shouting their opponents down, burning newspapers they don't like, assaulting speakers, rushing up to lecturns and turning them over to silence their opponents, trying to pass laws to suppress the speech of their opponents (Fairness doctrine), banning their opponents' books, etc.

Showing people saying controversial things is not showing conservatives suppressing/lashing out at/being intolerant of dissent.

Ok, come on now. Should the National Review really be treated as an objective standard on the behavior of liberals and liberal acadamia? Would you consider The Nation to be an objective standard on the behavior of conservatives? Think about your sources here. It's not exactly nonpartisan.
