The insane academic left is not nearly as dangerous as the insane and powerful right-wing corporate thugs, and to deny that there is not a powerful right-wing academic faction choking free speech and chilling the body politic is to admit to having never ventured near Bob Jones or Liberty or, perhaps even BYU.
People are often entrapped by their own arrogance, and right now, the media play is that Summers was done-in by wild-eyed leftish facists. Following is a snippet concerning the other side of the right-wing spin:
CNN.com - Politics, style color downfall of Harvard president - Feb 27, 2006:
"Summers' critics say the real issue was his confrontational management style, not his controversial comments or his ambitions for Harvard, which they say they generally supported. By the end, they insist, he had offended a diverse group of faculty.
'There's a real free speech issue, but it's Larry squelching other people's free speech,' said Daniel Fisher, a physics professor. 'He's an incredible bully.'"
Appears to be at least two sides to this story.
