...bracing for some scary global financial fallout. (Not that foreign media were immune to the fate of John Walker - Pakistan's Peshawar-based Frontier Post, whose op-ed pages are more commonly filled with denunciations of America's campaign in Afghanistan, carried a piece by conservative American columnist Anne Coulter expressing the hope that "the government will deal with California Talibanist John Walker as harshly as it did with Elian Gonzalez...
Perhaps most distressing, Hasan’s piece calls for censorship under the guise of “tolerance.” He implores the Harvard Foundation, the administration, and “every non-racist student organization” to denounce such events on campus, and suggests that Coulter ought not to have spoken here.

To suggest, given the context of the event and the topic of the evening, that the HRC “is guilty of bringing hate to Harvard” is ridiculous, unless one regards protection of the unborn, judicial restraint...
