Challenge Critics of Campus Watch
Reader comment on item: Backhanded Endorsements of Campus Watch

All the shown examples of criticism of Campus Watch make general accusations about repression of free speech, but those critics do not show: (1) Any error in Campus Watch commentary, either about what the critics said or how they treated students; (2) Any actual repression; and (3) Any defense of claims that it is they who are oppressive.

I think that Campus Watch and Mr. Pipes should challenge critics with those three points. The Far Left and the Muslim Arabs tend to mask their own oppressive tendencies by claiming to be victims.
