A short while ago, I raised the issue with Al Gore getting hoisted on his own petard, by those wanting to bring him into court in a lawsuit over the fraud that is the global warming scare. I suggested in that article that there was a certain elegance in using the liberals own tools against them.
Apparently, I’m not alone in this thinking: Hume notes another such instance last night:
A former librarian at Ohio State University says he wants his old job back, and wants the university to change its sexual harassment policies.
Scott Savage says he got into hot water with colleagues while serving on a committee to recommend books for incoming freshman. He said the books under consideration were too liberal, so he suggested “The Marketing of Evil” by David Kupelian, which is subtitled “How Radicals, Elitists, and Pseudo-Experts Sell Us Corruption Disguised As Freedom.”
Two professors filed a sexual harassment claim against him, charging that the book was homophobic. The complaint went nowhere, but the Columbus Dispatch reports that Savage says he continued to be harassed anyway. Ohio State had no comment.
At least at the moment, I am leaning toward encouraging such courtroom activity. The defeat is harder to ignore when it suffered on their own ground.
