Thread Name: BS: Ahmadinejad at Columbia
Subject: RE: BS: Ahmadinejad at Columbia
" My point is that if you stifle his oratory, you have nothing valid to argue or agree with. "
You mean, like when the students drove out the representative ( invited!) from the Minutemen ( anti-illegal immigration) or disinvited him the next year???
I still say that
1. They had every right to have Ahmadinejad speak.
2. Columbia should lose all federal and state funding for their failure to allow ROTC and other non-liberal viewpoints to be presented on campus.
"freedom of speech does not protect speech you like, it protects speech you hate."
