I imagine you think Rush Limbaugh's popularity goes on. Ah well, you're as in touch with youth culture as he is, scanning articles online looking for something to be angry about without actually blaming any life shortcomings on yourself. You can at least be glad Jerry is taking on conservative traits!
You disagreeing with his view about colleges being too sensitive on opposing views is what his point was. You're saying young people are to blame for his decline which isn't really true.

But continue moving the goalposts. The more you post, the more sensitive you get about his point. I'll be eating my popcorn watching you prove his point.

No you're lying and misrepresenting my views as you Teabaggers are wont to do. I disagreed with him being delusional and thinking college kids are too PC now. You change the argument and lie about what i said since it's the only way you can defend your nonsense. I imagine your next post will maintain I had a seance with Hitler.

Why did you destroy your own point with your own post? The Berkeley board overruling a small group of protesting students says that even America's most liberal college will host someone who even had a show called Politically Incorrect. Conservatives don't even acknowledge their role in banning speech when John ******** was covering statues that had nipples with fig leaves like some Ayatollah dictator. No Teabagger has yet to name a conservative being banned from speaking in the same way Bush threatened Howard Stern's radio company with bankrupting fines if he broke their undefined rules.

Do I expect the same sort of things out of a private religious college as I do a public one?

No. That has nothing to do with supporting what they do or don't do.

I wouldn't expect the same out of a private secular college either.

People choose them for their narrowly tailored viewpoints.

Yawn. Disagree with him all you want. He isn't the only one that you should be upset about. Regarding your last sentence, I'm not sure where you get these assumptions. Gave me a chuckle though.

Doesn't disprove the point that there are still "liberals" who think they're all open-minded until someone disagrees with them especially in a public university.

I, nor anyone has ever said that the right gets a pass for not being tolerant. However I expect better from people who call themselves "open-minded" and "tolerant".

I doubt Seinfield is wanting to play college campuses. I remember when I was in college in the 80's at an NACA booking conference and Jerry was one of the comedians you had to include airfare in his fees. That meant he had already made big top in 1983. To play colleges today you have to do; fart jokes, masturbating jokes, poop jokes, stoner jokes, and generally material to make pot heads laugh. Thats what campus activity people would much rather prefer than risk having a comedian who will push the envelope and maybe cross a line. The last thing a college needs is a cadre; of lesbians, gays, minorities and people in wheel chairs looking like a veritable circus protesting about one inconsiderate and insulting clown. (that they chose to go see)
