We free speech types don't like it when people don't get to speak on campuses, no matter what their views. You have to go to the Thottam Left to find people who support the kind of mau-mauing that conservatives are doing to CBS.

It's not censorship -- we're not talking about any kind of state action here. We're just taking about private action designed to suppress speech because you don't agree with its content.
