Juxtaposing Two Dissent Cases

Sphere: Related Content

Dennis Lennox, a Junior at Central Michigan University is on a mission to keep Democratic Congressional candidate--an Assistant Professor at the university--Gary Peters from getting elected. He's following Peters around and peppering him with questions about his "moonlighting," AKA double-dipping on the taxpayers of the great state of Michigan. He's posted several videos on You Tube.

My old blog employer, AOL, had the following headline:

Conservative Targets Democrat
Why Does He Hound Professor?
Most would surmise that he "hounds" the professor because he's exercising his constitutional rights and attempting to get a candidate to answer questions from a member of his constituency. To AOL, that's "hounding."

Juxtapose that with how the enlightened folks in San Francisco treated Nonie Darwish when she spoke the other night at UC Berkeley. AOL did not even have one single report on the events of that night and the mass attempt by students to silence a woman who was speaking from experience about the oppressive treatment of women under Islam. But yet, a lone student respectfully asking questions of a wannabe Congressman is guilty of "hounding." Nice lack of bias AOL.
