in response to reader comment: Hosting a Speaker Does Not Endorse His Views

Submitted by Norman Friedman, Jan 24, 2007 12:05

Excuse me, but hosting a speaker DOES endorse his views unless there is opportunity for exchange of comments or rebuttal. There seems to be a closed door approach to allowing any chance for rebuttal. As reader, Tom Clowes states, "To do so reeks of political correctness and stifles rigorous intellectual debate", unless there is a chance of, "rigorous intellectual debate", then certainly the host does endorse the speakers views.
