'Don't know about you, but PF is sure relieved to know that public servants like Dave Heineman and Jon Bruning have all of their day work so well in hand that they can find the spare time to monitor the speaking engagements of UNL and offer their sage advice on the matter. I don't much care for Bill Ayers' political views or certainly his violent past, but I thought part of the "freedom" of Toby Keith videos and red-state USA means the freedom to speak and hear people with differing views. And of course Ayers wasn't invited to talk politics, but rather education.
Here's the list of shame of Nebraska's free speech cowards who hopped on the anti-Ayers bandwagon:
Heineman (nice robotic plug for working in Nebraska government during the Huskers game though Dave)
Bruning (isn't there some spicy Hannah Montana website you could be lurking at?)
Ben Nelson (tool; Nebraska's own Joe Lieberman with a bad hairpiece)
Regent Chuck Hassebrook
UNL Pres JB Milliken (shame on you JB; you're ordinarily more sensible than this)
Adrian Smith (I'm sure he'll be in this fray shortly after he's finished with his daily Palin fantasy)
Props, however, to Harvey Perlman who stood for principle and freedom amidst this conservative clown chorus.
I do however agree with Heineman that UNL's "security cancellation" sounds fishy. Another cowardly move....if you're going to cancel, at least have the guts to come out and say why, rather than hide behind a likely phony "no comment" security pretext.
