I enjoy Dr. Pipes' columns in the NY Post. I agree that Donahue had up his mind against you before the segment even started. I agree that Dabashi was arrogant. But unlike the others below I was disappointed in your performance: The worst thing that you could come up with was that the professor cancelled a class to attend a rally? Hardly the crime of the century. By calling it "unconscionable" you seemed desperate.

Daniel Pipes replies:

Fact is, Dabashi's having cut the class was the reason why he was placed on the campus-watch.org website. For specifics, see http://www.danielpipes.org/article/424.
