Exposing UCLA's Radical Professors

The Bruin Alumni Association, an group of boring reactionaries confused about who they should be reacting to,  is running the blog UCLAProfs.com.  Mark Sawyer, a political science professor, is profiled on the blog and given a "three black fists" rating.  His response:

I now have tenure ... I have been away from UCLA for 2 1/2 years at Berkeley and Harvard.  I have been active though in the anti-war movement etc.  So I feel I deserve 5 fists.

Rock on!   Kieran Healy jestingly awards the site one-half of a McCarthy for being pretty boring.  The group of Bruins fans is paying students $100 for information on the UCLA radical left.   Draw your own conclusions.  I side with Eugene Volokh's opinions expressed here and here.  This is not a group of disgruntled alumni to be at all concerned about.  For example, the group seemed irritated that one professor opposed the judicial nomination of... a fellow alumni!  Because you've just got to have the back of anyone who attended your university, I suppose.  Go Bruins!
