Phi Beta Kappa Rejects GMU after GMU cancels Michael Moore lecture

"Moore's speech was canceled after Del. Richard H. Black (R-Loudoun), a leading conservative lawmaker, along with one of his colleagues, complained that the fee was too high and that Moore was too partisan."

Ha-ha. Too partisan for an University supposedly open to all thought? Or too partisan for the Republican controlled Virginia legislature?

1. regarding the fee...

in the past, sometimes the same campuses that have complained about Moore's fee, for some reason have no problems with speakers like Sean Hannity, who charges MUCH more than Moore does.

2. Right-wing George Mason deserves to go down the Phi Beta crapper!

'Nuff said.

"Too partisan". Since when has partisanship been a criteria for judging speakers at public university?

Methinks Moore will grab the reins and offer to speak for free...
