   Free speech, only if it’s the right kind of speech. David H’s credentials are unquestionable and it is to bad that a few students kept the other students from hearing what he had to say.

   You have to be a ‘teacher/educator’ to be able to discuss Islamo-Fascism! Horowitz is not an educator. LOL…….

   The ignorance of these two gentlemen was apparent. They are ill-informed and pathetically, so are those on the left side of the isle! Help Us!

   This is one Brown, person, my grandparents immigrated to the US from Lebanon and Egypt, who is saying it is Islamo-fascists that are killing innocents. It is Brown on Brown. Just like the typical ‘concerned white’ person to explain it all to the masses, that it is capitalistic racism. And, no they have not hijacked Islam. Islam is a murderous cult, period. Submit, convert or die. Get it?

   Emory was too painful. And I am not sure if Horowitz could have handled it better.

   I am deeply disappointed.

   If this is the kind of opposition we have to face at institutions of higher learning, then how are we going to educate the common man.

   We need to take some serious measures.
   May be the project was itself initiated as first step towards this.

   We have miles to go all of you.

   The reactions are only the symptom.

   What you really need to do is look at who organized the reaction.

   There is no credible way that this percentage of people are that strongly opposed to open debate in and of itself.

   Read the organizing groups names of the posters and such and then hit the search engines for a while.

   Following up on that web of “grassroots” yeah sure right as to that fantasy and you will start to put together the picture.

   So, Emory Univ. now practices political segregation. No views except the far left view allowed.

   Honest, open minded students need not apply.

   Dan Sytman is a local conservative radio host. Last night he spoke to some Islamo-fascism Awareness Week protesters at UW last when Michael Medved spoke. He has the audio an interview with the UW Muslim Student Association President and some hostile Muslim guy up on his blog.

   I have a little saying that most always covers intolerable resuslts, such as Katrina and New Orleans, or the Horowitz Islamo_Fascism convocation at Emory, or Ann Coulter on any subject at Boo-U, diversity is the mother of incompetence. You can take the privileged out of the ghetto but you can’t take the ghetto out of the privileged and in this case the faculty in charge can not even run a civil forum of ideas (they breed and promote those who look like me/themself).

   I think that one of the reasons that last nights speech wasn’t interrupted might have been the enforcing of a dress code- formal/suits as well as not allowing coats or packages into the hall, and placing the information on posters that adherence to the schools code of behavior would be enforced.
   It was a very nice, quiet, informative evening, and the desperate and rude banner bearers at the end were more amusing than anything else. Even Mr. Horowitz seemed to admire their ability to sit still through the whole presentation before popping up at the end of the Q&A session.

   College campuses have become a “state within a state.” Under no circumstances should “academic freedom” substitute for the Constitution as the supreme law of the land, and all that has to be done to make that point is to cut off federal grants to those institutions that refuse to fully obey the First Amendment. Does that make sense or not?

    Let me get this straight: it’s racist to call the terrorists Islamofascists, but they’re fascists, Islamists, and extremist??? In an academic setting it’s ok to talk about it, but not that academic setting? It’s freedom of speech to interrupt a different point of view? Up is down?

    And it’s white-on-brown violence? Huh? What is this guy smoking? Oh, he’s supporting Ron Paul. I get it now.

    Outstanding video, by the way. The best part of hot air is that it actually puts guys like this in context! Give ‘em a rope, they’ll hang themselves.

    Another post that has stimulated my amygdalae by noting the actions of the brownshirts as they implement Herbert Marcuse’s view that there MUST BE NO free speech rights for conservatives, and that conservative speech must not be tolerated.

    Right now my amygdalae is waving a cutless shouting “Znidd Suddabit” while the shade of H. L. Mencken looks on with approval. Down, boy.

    amygdalae – today’s word of the day.

    It’s leftie-logic. Best not to think about it too much without a bottle of aspirin and antacid within reach.

    Segregation implies that what is different is merely kept apart. This is wholesale suppression of political opposition. Nothing has changed since I was a frosh over 20 years ago. Back then it was “No free speech for fascists” (a fascist being defined as anyone to the right of Ted “The Swimmer” Kennedy).

    Hey hey – ho ho,
    How many bong hits does it take before hairy-legged hippie chick starts lookin’ good to long-haired maggot-infested dope-smokin’ FM hippie dude?

    Got a real kick out of watching that.

    The leftwing, moronic goofball attempting to joust with a “normal” person. Then goofy’s sidekick steps in to lend a hand and the cartoon really gets going….

    Lets see we have fascists who are muslims, who are killing other muslims, but they’re not islamo-fascists, they’re islamic fascists. And, the fascists are not killing anybody. It’s really the world’s “white people”, and corporations, running amok slashing, and hacking, and blowing people up.

    If you were smart you could see that!!

    I don’t know if antacid is what you want.

    Leftie-logic makes more sense if you take acid.
