Tonight (Saturday) at 8:25 and 11:25 Eastern time, C-SPAN will air the left-wing commencement address Times publisher Arthur Sulzberger Jr. delivered last Sunday to graduates at the State University of New York at New Paltz.
Sulzberger stood before a sympathetic audience and unleashed unvarnished liberalisms like these: 
"You weren't supposed to be graduating into an America fighting a misbegotten war in a foreign land. You weren't supposed to be graduating into a world where we are still fighting for fundamental human rights, be it the rights of immigrants to start a new life; the rights of gays to marry; or the rights of women to choose. You weren't supposed to be graduating into a world where oil still drives policy and environmentalists have to relentlessly fight for every gain. You weren't. But you are. And for that I'm sorry."
