The college town so deeply liberal that it is referred to as “the People’s Republic of Berkeley” is now a favored destination for the far right, resulting in a number of violent encounters on the city’s streets and the University of California’s flagship campus. A new confrontation is expected on Thursday, when rightwing commentator Ann Coulter plans to speak on the UC Berkeley campus in defiance of the administration’s request that she hold her event a week later at a secure location.
