This is not a post condemning Linda Sarsour. It's also not a post condemning her controversial comments regarding Ayan Hirsi-Ali (hint: it's at least as bad as Trump's infamous quote, and it pertains to the same body part). No, this post is merely an observation that CUNY (and Dartmouth, where she's also scheduled to speak) will not have to hire extra security for her speech, and will not attempt to move it to an out of the way location. Her speech will go on. Because in an era where college speakers frequently are either rescheduled to off-peak hours, canceled, or shut down before they can even speak, Sarsour will not have to worry about that. No, this post is about how the extremists on one side of the political debate in this country have impulse control, and the other side's extremists don't. There will be no broken windows or fires set or people sent to the hospital as a result of Sarsour's address. Because the right knows how to behave, and the left doesn't. Remember that the next time someone lectures you about the "tone" of political debate these days...
