In July of this year a public radio station, KPFA, in none other than Berkeley, California, cancelled a scheduled speaking invitation to well known atheist Richard Dawkins for his past criticism of Islam. They deemed it, "hate speech". What's the left coming to these days.

I wonder if the objection to the kid being white is actually a red herring as the complainant is actually misogynistic??
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

I must have missed your thread complaining about this -- do you have a link?

That is beyond obvious Min. There are 7 billion people and many billions more that have lived before them. If you want to hear the stories of abused women, go look them up. Hell, my dad called my mom a cunt from time to time when I was growing up, and it even got physical at times. Are you seriously questioning the idea that women get called names when they're being attacked?

But Min, my post was not an attack on you. I only brought up your name to defend myself. I think you go overboard with your use of the word cunt, but that is beside the point. That was not why I mentioned your name. I'm certainly not going to tell you what you should be posting. It's not my style to go around calling people names all the time, but if you want to call people cunts for acting cunty then that's what you should do. I don't object to that, and although I think you overdo it a bit, I do agree that sometimes a cunt just needs to be called a cunt.


Look, I don't care, okay.  I'm not running for Miss Congeniality around here. 

But if you make a claim you will be expected to back it up and "it's obvious" does not cut it.  There is so little in this world that is "obvious."  There are ulterior motives everywhere.

There has already been a thread about this . And frankly I don't have a problem with Dawkins being turned away .

And FF using the daily caller as a source very telling

Lastly really the right are desperate to nit pick one or two loons . Too distract away from there bullshit.

By the way how many Right Wing Christian  universities have invited Dawkins to speak ....

Well at least a cop didn't grab the flag out of the white kid's hands like they did to black kids in Mississippi = https://iconicphotos.org/2011/06/25/miss...tt-herron/.  So maybe that's a tiny bit of progress.

My point was the obvious double-standard in play. I don't have a problem with Dawkins being refused, either. I'd just like to see ATheist stand up for the principles he espouses, no matter the person in question.

I'm not holding my breath.
