Minuteman Founder Attacked at Columbia University

Jim Gilchrist assaulted by students

More squashing of free speech from the unhinged Liberal Left, who’s moto these days appears to be “Free Speech for Me, Not for Thee”:

From Blue Crab Boulevard:

“They Have No Right To Be Able To Speak Here.”

The words of a budding leftist storm trooper proud of storming a stage to silence someone else’s right to free speech at Columbia University. In an appalling display of intolerance, students assaulted two speakers from the Minuteman group and forced them to cancel the speeches they were giving.

This is how the Left deals with speech that they don’t agree with…with violence and assaults. But when a group is so bereft of actual ideas, I guess this is what they’re left with.

Columbia University should be very emarrassed this morning. Have they issued a formal apology to Mr. Gilchrist yet?

I share your disdain for groups like the International Socialist Organization and other spoiled brats so unsure of their own ideology that they attempt to shut down any oppositition.

Brawl at Columbia U.

Looks like Columbia U is still in reality a place that should be left deserted. A member of the Minutemen project wanted to give a speech there and was disrupted by a mob of stupid student saboteurs (H/T: Michelle Malkin):

This is the main isue for which the Republican party deserves to keep control of the House of Representatives. It’s the only damn issue by which they deserve it,actually, but that’s a good enough reason for me to cross over and vote for them. It’s unecessary in my case, as my Kentucky Fifth District Republican Congressman, Hal Rogers, has only token oppossition.

In the best of all possible scenarios, the Republicans maintain the control of the House based on this issue, while the Democrats gain control of the Senate, based mainly on the open borders (to all intents and purposes) Republicans being voted out of office by disgruntled Republican voters.

In this way, the Republican House can push for border enforcement and put the Democratic Senate majority in the position of either having to support or oppose them.
