Joe Lieberman Group Puts Out a Blacklist of College Professors.

" The report documents 117 campus incidents as ``evidence'' of anti-Americanism. More than 40 professors are named, including the president of Wesleyan University, who suggested in an open letter that ``disparities and injustices'' in American society and the world can lead to hatred and violence."

Blacklisted for saying that? That is intimidation.

Edit: And from what I understand, students were encouraged to tell on the professors. My guess is when web bloggers got wind of this it started Joe's down fall.
