College Liberals Hate Free Speech

I wonder where they learned that from. Either that or they just really really love to protest.

Just to be safe Rhino, stay away from Wash Square Park today.

The people protesting the moronic hunt-the-illegal-immigrant game are just exercising their right of free speech.

I respect their right to do so, it just seems to me that whenever College Republicans or conservatives speak on campus there are always groups trying to stop them or protest their right to do so. Take the physical attacks on Coulter and the Minutemen at Columbia as just two examples.

Wait, it illegal to hunt illegals...this sounds like one of those two negatives make a positive things. Woo Hoo I'm on my way to get my illegal alien hunting license!

I almost replied that Ann Coulter should be killed, not that I think that, but as an Ann Coulter style "joke". The physical attack on Ann Coulter was a pie-throwing attempt, and I'm sorry they missed.

the college republicans have the right to say and do whatever they want. and the college democrats have the right to protest and say what the republicans are doing is dehumanizing (which, in my opinion, it is, but that's not the point here). what's wrong with that? this is america, isn't it?

and, by the way, on another subject mentioned in the article, schumer AND clinton AND guiliani AND whitman AND bush dropped the ball on post-9/11 health issues. there is a lot of blame to spread around there and we'll not get to the bottom of for a very long time.

that said, i think schumer's a little too cocky for his own good.

suppression of free speech is not an example of exercising free speech.

anita said...

they are not "supressing" the republicans, they are "protesting" them ... big difference.

Well we will have to wait and see about that...

Were the students at Columbia just "protesting" when they rushed the stage and physically forced the speaker from The Minutemen Project off the stage?

Let me get this straight-protesting is only free speech if you get there first?

Let the whole damn world hold whatever placard they want, with whatever message they want, wherever. Then let people discuss it, reject it, no problem as far as I am concerned.

Im at NYU all the time so I guess I just dont pay attention to everything that goes on, there's always something and thats a good thing. Except the time I tripped on a "free the monkey" woman who wouldnt let me in my building. Dont get physical, I say. Cause that pisses me off when I have a meeting.

Oh and about the stage thing..well, nobody should be harmed in the making of an incident. Because thats not very peace-like.

i'm on the sides of thoreau and ghandi and martin luther king on that one: non-violent civil disobedience is the way to go ... simplicity, harmony and beauty should be the models for just social and cultural conditions.

"free the monkey" woman?

Sounds like my kind of broad.
