I am a constitutionalist.
But you don't defend the Rights of the invited speaker to speak or those who want hear to hear the speaker? It's hard to unite the two idea's?
Why is protest to deny others the Right to speak OK with a "constitutionalist"? How is picking and choosing who has Rights constitutional? Do you think the Constitution only applies to some ideologies and not others?
I'm very much a proponent of "I may not like what you have to say, but will defend to the death, your right to say it". However, I don't see the value in a university or college taking money for space to speak ideas long disproven, ideas that promote hate and false notions of superiority.

Fascists believe that liberal democracy is obsolete, and they regard the complete mobilization of society under a totalitarian one-party state as necessary to prepare a nation for armed conflict and to respond effectively to economic difficulties.[
Fascism rejects assertions that violence is automatically negative in nature, and views political violence, war, and imperialism as means that can achieve national rejuvenation

Sounds like the left to me.
See speech getting shut down, and violent protest since before the election, and has continued to this day.
I am not sure what universe you woke up in, but democracy is fine by me. Totalitarianism is bad. Never said violence was good against free speech.
It is actually the right that pushes the militias, which I do believe in when organized against a fascist state.
You seem very confused.
I am a constitutionalist.
Don't get it twisted: you are absolutely, unequivocally, without a doubt NOT a constitutionalist. Of all the utterly ludicrous things you've said in this thread, that comment far and away takes the cake.
Then you haven't been paying attention. I always thought of you as someone that pays attention.
I have, which is how I can say what I said with absolute certainty.
Ignoring the COTUS and BofR entirely when it suits you to ignore it and clinging to it when it suits you to cling to it does not a constitutionalist make.
Edit for your edit: I am. No need to go down the road (again) of trying to get personal. Your comments speak for themselves. As do mine.
I don't do what you say. You act as if you can see into my mind.

As I always do in these situations I try to find a local source that isnt trying to hype up one side. Between that and another article they posted it indicates that it wasnt the entire crowd attempting to shut it down, many of the students had shown up for a Q&A for a chance to debate the guy later. The University has already stated they are disappointed in the students that violated their protesting policy, and will take action when they investigate. As much as I do disagree with the speaker and fully support protesting, people that would entirely shut someone make it worse for all of us.

Even in a KIA....move them suckers down.
Im not a violent man. But ill visit obscene violence on strangers who threaten my safety.
when you are being hunted by a tiger, you have to be a bigger, scarier tiger. Slam that car into reverse and move people behind you under your car, then start swerving at any strays that scatter as you drive out of the lot. Self perservation sounds kind of violent, but its better than the alternative.

They should not have resorted to violence. Personally I would only protest outside, not inside. It is kind of curious though that colleges and universities keep taking money from hate peddlers. Protest should probably move to the Boards offices.
After Milo I am not understanding why Universities with a strong Liberal student body keep doing this. Surely, there are are other colleges that would have liked this speaker.

These new-age fascists have obviously read up on Hitlers methodology and are following the brownshirts lead.
1938 all over again.
