All they can do is hate everyone who doesn't agree with them.
Oh yeah! I started out in life as a Republican.
It's "Agree with me, or agree with me, I'm right, and you're not".

It appears you are failing to understand the most basic concept behind the right. Read this:
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances
What is a redress of grievances?
It's a complaint. A protest.
Oh, I c.
And Ann Coulter is now the government to be petitioned?
Read my edit.
Are you guys really trying to say that we do not have the right to assemble or speak freely in protest of certain causes?
If free speech rights can only be violated by the government, then yes.

Violence is bad, mmmkay? We want to prevent violence, right? Berkeley wants to prevent violence. Berkeley's not evil for wanting to prevent violence, are they? What's the best way to prevent violence when you don't have access to a whole police force and you don't have a million bucks for private security? You have your public event at a venue that allows what security you do have a better chance at controlling it.

In rough order of your presentation:
You know as well as I do that the "denial of service" argument only goes one way when "conservatives" are involved.
Is Ann a California citizen?
Nope. Did she have a contract with the University to perform a service? Nope.
OP's source states clearly that Coulter decided not to go. Take up your quibble with that source.
Trump supporters have stated clearly that they felt he was directing them to do violence from the podium.
Most of us who aren't blind sycophants and apologists heard him do so time after time.
And there you go, you want to justify incitement as long as it's a private venue? LOL. True colors.
Violence for political purposes is wrong. So is blatant hypocrisy and dishonesty.

Are you really suggesting smashing people in the head with bike locks and throwing M-80's into the crowd qualifies as the right to assemble and freely protest?
No. I've said no such thing. In fact, I've said the opposite.
Are people having a hard time reading English today?

Protesting is fine.
lighting cars on fire and breaking windows, throwing rocks at the police is not.
That is vandalism.
According to some, we have no right to protest.
You may call it a waste or improper, but that's because you don't understand the right.

Republicans are out shutting down free speech, beating people up, and throwing their sh*t on people they hate.

Why would extra security be needed for a peaceful assembly protest?
I suppose the normal amount of security would do for a "peaceful" protest. Which would be easier on the budget since people are talking about money.
Honestly I admit I just dived in here but I'm just gently reminding people to consider things with a little more depth? There are holes in the logic dag nabit!
