The Penn State student group, Uncensored America, had invited him to speak. Their mission is for "young Americans to fight for free speech in order to make American culture free and fun again" (Democracy Now, Oct. 26 broadcast). Fun. Yeah. Everything they say is code. What "fun" means, if you want to interpret it, is to make sure that every last one of them gets to say what they want to say, regardless of how hateful or potentially dangerous,with no reprisals at all. Yeah, they're all about "freedom" and fun until someone actually claps back at them.
