This pair of articles on the front page of The Nation online puts the magazine in the strange position of tacitly advocating violence among left-wing college students, while explicitly denouncing right-wing college students for not being violent enough.
Me? I am against student violence, but in favor of faculty violence. In fact, I'm going to commit a metaphorically violent act against a freshman composition paper right now.

What I found interesting in the anti-YAF article was that they characterized YAF as openly hostile because they claimed the anti-war protests were sponsored by communists. His example was:
ReplyDelete"The top of the antiwar movement is led by communists, and I will call them that."
I guess now wouldn't be the time to mention that The Nation's own David Corn said the same thing.
