Herbert Marcuse and the New Left. This is the guy Dan Henninger in the Wall Street Journal claims the President is emulating.

"Liberating tolerance, then, would mean intolerance against movements from the Right and toleration of movements from the Left."

"Surely, no government can be expected to foster its own subversion, but in a democracy such a right is vested in the people (i.e. in the majority of the people). This means that the ways should not be blocked on which a subversive majority could develop, and if they are blocked by organized repression and indoctrination, their reopening may require apparently undemocratic means. They would include the withdrawal of toleration of speech and assembly from groups and movements which promote aggressive policies, armament, chauvinism, discrimination on the grounds of race and religion, or which oppose the extension of public services, social security, medical care, etc"
