You are calling him delusional but you are actually exposing your own delusions.

Liberal bias among university professors has been confirmed in too many papers to mention, I'll let you google it yourself but here are a few examples

We are talking over 90% of professors in certain fields identifying themselves as 'liberal' or 'progressive' and a similar bias in donations to the two parties.

Perhaps if you could give us a list of all that "violence coming from the left" in the US that is somehow being cleverly concealed by all the media of the world (must be some kind of a leftist conspiracy involving all those pinko-commie corporate CEOs!) it would help your points to attain some modicum of credibility. Unless your post was meant to be some very subtle satire, that is.

• It was not the fear of conservative violence that caused Ann Coulter's speech to be cancelled this week.
• It was a liberal who bit the finger off a man who disagreed with him on healthcare.
• It was Obama-loving Amy Bishop who took a gun to work and murdered co-workers.
• Joseph Stack flew his plane into the IRS building after writing an anti-conservative manifesto.
• It was liberals who destroyed AM radio towers outside of Seattle.
• It's liberals who burn down Hummer dealerships.
• It was progressive SEIU union thugs who beat a black conservative man who spoke his mind.
• It's doubtful that a conservative fired shots into a GOP campaign headquarters.
• In fact, Democrats have no monopoly on having their offices vandalized.
• Don't forget it was Obama's friend Bill Ayers who used terrorism as a tool for political change. SDS is still radical, with arrests in 2007 and the storming of the CATO Institute in July 2008.
• It was a liberal who was sentenced to two years for bringing bombs and riot shields to the Republican National Convention in 2008.
• It was a liberal who threatened to kill a government informant who infiltrated her Austin-based group that planned to bomb the RNC.
• It was liberals who assaulted police in Berkeley.
• It was liberals who intimidated and threw rocks through the windows of researchers.
• The two Black Panthers who stood outside polls intimidating people with nightsticks were probably not right-wingers.
• Every time the G20 gets together, it's not conservatives who destroy property and cause chaos.

I could literally go on and on, but let's try to have some perspective here. Violence is a product of the fringe, on either side, and it's sickening to try to use it for political advantage. Those who commit violence in the name of politics deserve political change no more than they deserve leniency in sentencing. Violence furthers no cause. The only call to action that violence has ever moti

Right... Nobody is doing that...

What is Political Correctness? It can't be understood without reference to the Frankfurt School, a movement composed of Jewish Marxists intent on subverting the host society they were in at the time, which was Germany in 1923.

The very idea of conflating being pregnant with "not being a real person" is exactly the sort of genocidal thing PC was, and is still about. How would Jews like the ever-present and mass marketed suggestion that they shouldn't have kids, or if they have kids they must be stupid, or that non-Jews make better husbands? Works out about the same as a death camp in the end. Gentiles don't much like it either.

The first link google popped up is here:

Wikipedia mentions the Frankfurt School also, if you scroll past the introduction.

Trying to make it out that this view is tantamount to saying its okay to execute people with down syndrome is simply dishonest.

Before we get all high and mighty, and conclude that we in the United States are so much better, superior, or luckier, remember about the prisoners the US is holding RIGHT NOW in Guantanamo Bay. [globalpolicy.org]

Spare me. The US hasn't murdered an estimated 56 MILLION of its own people simply for disagreeing with state ideaology. The entire Communist movement, including Cuba, N.Korea, and Vietnam has murdered OVER 100 MILLION people. Don't even try to give us a guilt trip by comparing America with Communist regimes. We're not perfect, but we're soooo far beyond Communist China in what we've contributed to the welfare of humanity that such a comparison is absurd.

Well, as they say on tv, `we report, you decide'. I would argue that there is a strong liberal bias to much of the moderation which goes on here, you seem to feel that there is not. I dare say the readers of our posts can decide that for themselves, taking this thread and others as their guide.

As to your bit about intolerance, I would argue that it misses a key point. Modern `I feel your pain' liberalism, with its morass of identity politics, anti-Americanism, and subjectivist morality, has little use for rational argument and the respect for civil discourse which was a proud tradition of the liberalism of the past. From our college campuses, to our network news, liberals increasingly see labels and smears as a replacement for reason. Conservatism, with its central emphasis on reason and on individual rights, is less guilty of this.

Hint: when was the last time you saw a small group of conservative protesters use insults, violence or threats of violence to shut down a liberal speech, event, or newspaper? It happens to conservatives all the time -- see here, or here, or here or here or here.
