The Cream and the Slop

The left at Harvard shows its class once again. LINK. This time, at a counterterrorism career panel that included representatives from the Central Intelligence Agency, the Department of Homeland Security, and two non-partisan security think tanks.

The audience consisted of (i) people who were interested in the topic, (ii) self-righteous people who didn't want the topic discussed:

The propagandists' techniques of disruption varied: their base tactics ranged from coughing incessantly to the point where none of the panelists could be heard, interrupting presentations to ask ludicrous questions such as “Isn't it true you train your employees to torture,” staging a mock deportation of an ethnic minority protestor midway through the discussion, clapping obnoxiously to halt the dialogue, and ridiculing students who posed legitimate questions to the panelists. A protestor sitting three rows behind me physically made himself vomit.

This type of thing has been going on for years. It happened while Eric Scheske attended the University of Michigan in the mid-1980s, and it happened back in the 1960s. It's worse than rude and disruptive. It's grown tiresome.
