If Owen Robinson looked at Wisconsin Forum's Advisory Board table last night while he was giving his speech, he may have noticed a couple of empty chairs. The advisory board's chairman James Barry III is no longer serving on the advisory board. James Smith, who proposed and financed Sobran as last night's speaker, is also no longer an advisory board member.
I did not have the chance to say this yesterday, but I think the remaining advisory board members should be commended for recognizing the issues involved in sponsoring Sobran and cancelling the invitation.
