...some segments of the campus and surrounding communities” might become “dangerous” in response to the publication of the cartoons. This point that was perceived by many as being inherently distrustful of Harvard’s Muslim community and a snub against the Salient’s legitimate right to free speech. Finally, while we support the administration’s efforts to ensure that every student group on campus has their rights protected against vandals, we are concerned about its methods of making their views known to the community as a whole...
...Democratic argument against "legitimizing" Fox News by appearing was as ridiculous as McCain's snub of softballer King and Palin's residency in the Candidate Protection Program - and politically counterproductive, to boot. Is Fox Karl Rove's new home? Fine. Did it flog the Wright story, call Michelle Obama "baby mama" and suggest a "terrorist fist bump"? Sure.

With his belly hiding his belt, with his red suspenders and white beard, Glen Parshall is a dead ringer for Santa Claus, except for the snub-nosed pistol he keeps tucked in his back pocket. Parshall spends his days behind the gun cage of Bargain Pawn, in a roughneck North Las Vegas neighborhood littered with homeless encampments, Catholic charities and pawnshops. It's no Bellagio. But he is a gentle man who treats his customers with respect, whether hoodlum or homeowner. He knows everything there is to know about weapons and is a stickler for the byzantine rules...
