        I'm baffled. Why are you giving the spineless KPFA publicity. Both you and @RichardDawkins can pick and choose. "Cast not your pearls..."

        The article is quite strongly against them, wouldn't call it publicity. It is instructive to call out people hypocrisy, as this article does

        My point is @RichardDawkins should never have accepted an invite from this bunch of nobodies. Plenty of fish in the Free Speech sea.

        Whilst unintended - I think the more this stuff happens and the more people call it out the better :)

        I can't punish lack of braveness and selflessness when it comes to things like these, but someone must help do away with the PC nonsense.

        whyevolutionistrue is an anti-semitic blog. Why do you link to them so frequently?

        I believe in freedom of speech, even for Dawkins & the other "New Atheists", always insulting about religion and frequently erroneous.

        Dawkins is critical of all religions - its hard to see how he's singled out Muslims and why its so offending - station's response is weak.
