The GOP accuses those of us who've reacted negatively to the FOIA request for Professor Cronon's emails of having a “chilling effect.” This is a classic case of projection. It is THEIR action that has had a chilling effect. What, do we scholars now have to be afraid of every single goddam thing we write against their absurd agenda?
In a word, yes.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I appreciate your suggestion that we're enjoying a frosty martini with William Cronon. GOP or not, I'd totally pick up the tab for that happy hour.
