I don't think that lame extremist talking point got much traction here, and isn't worth talking about except to the degree the Democratic leadership seems to tacitly agree.

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.
