One to Watch

I've just learned of a forthcoming documentary that appears to do a great service-- chronicling the decision by a Utah university to grant Michael Moore a speaking opportunity (and subsequently granting movement conservative Sean Hannity an appearance), and the controversy that surrounded the decision. I haven't seen the film, of course, but at the very least, it should provide insight into the debate that perplexes so many liberals today: why the current conservative movement argues against the freedom of speech, an idea that we view to be the cornerstone of American values. On a personal note, I hope to gain some insight into the mindset that makes fascism so appealing to so many Americans, insofar as some citizens favor consorship over open debate.

Watch the trailer, and some interesting clips and interviews, at the site linked to above.

Stay tuned.
