There’s a big controversy at U.C. Berkeley on a decision to postpone and reschedule a speech by conservative agitator Ann Coulter. This is a woman who wrote that liberals, of which I am proud to say I am one, have a tendency to commit treason. A book by Ms. Coulter, entitled “Treason: Liberal Treachery from the Cold War to the War on Terrorism,” argues that liberals have an inherent tendency to take a position on the side of treason.
The penalty for treason is usually death, either by hanging or firing squad. I conclude, and I believe rightly so, that Ms. Coulter thinks people like me should either be shot or hung.
I certainly think that Ms.Coulter has a right to speak at U.C. Berkeley. I am an absolutist when it comes to the First Amendment. I just hope she is escorted by a contingent of police officers. I would hate to think that she might shoot some liberal professor for treason.
