The Daily Texan and Redhunter have more to say  about the incident at UT where protesters tried to stop David Horowitz' lecture on the Academic Bill of Rights.

The Daily Texan article was apparently written by someone who wasn't there.  There is no mention of the VIGOROUS anti-protest group shouting back at the Socialists/Anarchists/Totalitarian-Welcome-Wagon Leftist Frat Boys 'n Girls.  Its primary source is a Leftist professor of Communications, Dana Cloud, whom the article quotes at the beginning and end, and, secondarily, the police blotter.

[Note to self : add "Communications" to list of joke majors, along with Education and Sociology.]

Turns out there were a total of six "cuffed martyrs" who got to spend about 18 hours as guests of the police department.  None of them were actually students at UT (Surprise!).

With a nod to the Daily Texan, we offer this example of the intellectual rigor that we may expect from communications majors, oh excuse us, professors at UT:

    Mus sinister Mickii, communications prof
Mus sinister Mickii, communications prof
