Progressives like to believe they’re the champions of free speech, unless you happen to have a different point of view, then they just want you to shut up. Some on this blog complain about the comment rating system. They leave their comments and wonder why conservative readers hit the “dislike” button and complain that we’re infringing on their right to speak their minds. It’s really quite silly, but it goes beyond silly when they try to get someone fired from his day job.
That’s what’s been happening to Professor Donald Douglas for quite some time. I guess they don’t believe students should be exposed to anyone whose views differ from their own.
Some time back, one of my colleagues suggested that no matter what the nature of online disagreements, no matter how intense or vile, taking such disagreements to an opponent’s employer is outside the bounds of decency: it is simply un-American. And I would add that when those same workplace complaints involve blatant and patently false allegations amounting to libel, those taking such actions are not only un-American, but genuinely satanic. And I have to apologize to longtime readers who might be getting bored with such blogging, but writing about the progressive left’s perpetual campaign of personal destruction, against my economic livelihood, is how I’m able to deal with the issues, keep my sanity, and of course clear my good name. As I noted earlier, there is essentially no lie that’s beyond the pale for the radicals. They’ll do anything to destroy opponents. And they don’t stop. And virtually to the one, the complaints leveled against me have been pure lies. I’m not going to recount them. All of this is of a piece. But since many on the left are coordinating these attacks, the frequency seems to be accelerating. I’ll soon know more about the latest round of allegations and lies. In the meantime, here’s a roundup of the workplace attacks I’ve defended against now for almost three years.
Read the whole thing. Professor Douglas is a husband and father who has every right to speak his mind and still earn a living. Those wanting to silence him are the ugliest of human beings.

This is nothing new- every now and then, corpulent ponytailed aging hipster douchbag Charles Johnson of Little Green Footballs tries directing to his pop-up laden blog by picking fights with various conservative bloggers once every couple of weeks
I distincly remember him urging his dwindling members to contact the Patterico’s employers (apparently he’s a prosecutor in California) to express concern about what a right-wing nutcase they have employed and the usual butthurt passive-agressive progressive boilerplate

sounds like neo-bolsheviks up to their usual crap, although historically John Adams shut down the opposition, as did Woodrow Wilson and this sort of scheming goes on all the time – eg National Review and the JBS. I think it was Abigail Adams who pointed out that human beings are tyrannical by nature. The Bolshevik types take it to a new level. After reading Richard Pipes it was clear that they dont just lie – they get a PHD in lying and then do post-doctoral work in more lying. If there was a prize for lying they would be vying for it. Perhaps they should be made to wear the Golden Rule on their forehead.
