You're misusing 'equivocation'.  It doesn't mean what you think it 
means.  I do know what you're trying to say, and it does have 'equ' as 
part of the root, but it's not 'equivocation'.  Look it up.

I'm not trying to "equivocate" [sic] at all.  I'm telling you, there is 
as much of an impulse to suppress free speech - in fact, a much greater 
impulse - on the far right as there is on the far left.  Speech 
suppression on the left is a relatively new phenomenon in the U.S. - in 
fact, only since the 1960s.

No, it *doesn't* happen "so much", but it has happened.  There isn't 
much doubt that university campuses are bastions of leftism.

Yes, you need to give examples - *recent* examples, too.

No, I know no such thing - nor do you.

No, you don't.

No, that's not what it means, and that also isn't what I'm doing or 
saying.  I'm not non-partisan.  I'm merely pointing out, correctly, that 
speech suppression is no worse or more egregious on the left than on the 
right.
