Here's my take: Your thought process is all screwed up. You may believe that you're a "thinker" and a "philosopher" but you're not. Instead, you have failed to make a serious distinction between "understanding" a convicted domestic terrorist and offering him the mainstream acceptance that comes by way of permitting him to appear as a speaker at a public university.
Please don't lecture me on academic freedom or the need to be politically correct. I'm not some illiterate moron who has not been exposed to academia and principles of free speech. Instead, I'm a lawyer with an undergraduate degree in political science and a former university professor who graduated from and taught at the University of Massachusetts. And as such, I'm offended that the university would provide this man a publicly funded forum from which to spew whatever crap he chooses to.
You would do well not to sacrifice what little common sense you may have in order to find reasons to avoid the truth about this man and the crimes he has been convicted of.
As far as the rest of your post, well it's just ******** unsupported by any fact whatsoever. You may sound intelligent in your cocktail circuit, but you don't cut it here.
You claim to be a philosopher, huh? Well, Plato, logic is integral to philosophy, and the "logic" you've employed is flawed.
You wanna' debate? Let's go for it!
Wanna' do it here or at at UMass?
