More Adventures in Scary Campus Political Correctness
By 
Fears about CANCEL CULTURE are always projections from right-wingers who want to fire, if not imprison, liberals and left-wing professors for speaking out for justice. And thus of course, they are trying to cancel me. In the blog post about the police killing the guy who shot the fascist in Portland, we had a bit of a debate over the use of violence in protest movements. This means that like the NRA, I am not objectively pro-murder, at least according to the fascists at Campus Reform and bought and sold man of the Koch Brothers Jonathan Turley.
Most human beings were disgusted by the murder of Aaron “Jay” Danielson, the member of the right-wing group Patriot Prayer, in Portland. University of Rhode Island Professor Erik Loomis is not among them. Loomis defended the killing by Michael Reinoehl, an Antifa member who appears to have stalked Danielson before gunning him down. Loomis insisted that any problem in gunning down right-wing counterprotesters was tactical not moral.
I testified in the Senate about the erosion of free speech and rise of violence on our campuses and in our streets. Antifa and related groups have succeeded in advancing anti-free-speech agendas as students and faculty justify attacks on those with opposing views. Loomis has long espoused extremist views and violent language, including calling for NRA executive Wayne LaPierre’s “head on a stick.”
In his latest post, Loomis justifies the murdering of those who hold opposing views. He adopts the rhetoric used by Antifa extremists in labeling those on the other side of protests as “fascists” and then justifies any means to resist them, including apparently murder.
ANTIFA!!!!!!!!! Where’s the RICO trial against me and my organization?
And let me just tell you, how will I sleep at night knowing that the guy who helped lead the lawsuit to overturn the ACA doesn’t like me? I wonder what it is like to pretend to care about human life while working your whole life to ensure that people die?
But wait, there’s more! I made the following, objectively correct statement on Twitter yesterday.
Yeah, I mean, once Republicans figured out COVID was going to affect people of color and the poor disproportionately, they stopped caring about doing anything about it. https://t.co/7J73Fcl4WQ

I fail to see how this is even a question open for debate. But in any case, the people at the Young Americans for Fascism Freedom, William F. Buckley’s organization dedicated to harassing professors is outraged! And they are writing some sort of story about it, having contacted my administration.
That’s right. And no fascists will intimidate me either. Including you.

I spent last night giving back as good as I took on Twitter. You can’t let these fascist bullies intimidate you, whether YAF fascists or hacks like Turley. You have to throw it back in their faces. So I suggested she include my visit to William F. Buckley’s grave in her story, which reminded me of a real good paragraph I wrote in that:
“….a horrible smell arose from the bowels of the Earth. Was this awful smell a mine or a mill? Was it an entryport to Hades? No. It was the rotting putrescent corpse of one of the worst human beings to ever foul the land of this fine nation, William F. Buckley.”

In conclusion, Oberlin students demanding authentic bahn mi are the greatest crisis the nation faces. I look forward to all the free speech letter signers to be outraged by this intimidation of me.
And don’t worry about any of this. I am certainly not worried about it. This is some weak beer.
By the way, in case you are wondering, the actual phone number for Young Americans for Freedom is 800-USA-1776. Feel free to give them a ring.
