Have they been getting "violent" about it, or are they simply taking 
their disagreements down the appropriate route of debate and
discourse regarding their objections to Horowitz's bill?

Personally, I think some of those who claim that the bill is 
somehow akin to "McCarthyism" or "quotas" are barking up 
the wrong tree...but, this is what open discussion and debate 
is all about, to look at all sides of the issue.

So far I haven't seen any liberals getting "violent" about it, 
some just appear to be angered that the bill seems intent on 
censoring the freedom of academic faculty. After all, it's not 
a crime to be a liberal or a conservative...at least not yet, anyway.

Personally, I don't think Horowitz's silly bill will make it beyond Colorado.
