Attempt to Fire Warrior Blogger: Marquette Getting Pounded on Facebook
Marquette posts President Michael Lovell’s grossly hypocritical “A call for decency” attacking this blogger on the Marquette Facebook page, and the comment section explodes.
While a few comments support Lovell, the vast majority pound him for has lack of support for free speech and for the Catholic mission of Marquette.
See this post and the comments under it.
And the criticism of Lovell spills over in comments to posts that have nothing to do with this blogger.
For example, one about “Summer Studies / / Marquette University”
Another example: “See Yourself at Marquette University”
This is significant, since people who visit the Marquette page are not a group self-selected on the basis of their political views. Of course the people who comment on our case on the National Review site or the Breitbart site will tend to agree with us. But it seems those who post on the Marquette Facebook page do too.
One final note: At the moment, there are no “Guest Posts” on the page. There were several, pounding Marquette over its attempt to fire us, and they have been deleted.

I was unable to bring up the actual comments. They are not showing.

It works for me. Perhaps you have to be logged into Facebook.
