i read it, and saw no one being prevented from speaking.

maybe you have magical powers of divination though. maybe you did so much heroin that you gained superpowers.
If course it does. Its full of examples of liberal college administrations setting up rules to let conservatives know their not welcome to express their views. The rules allow liberals to gather and shout down any speech their desire.

It's the speech that hasn't occured becuae of the rules.

It even has quotes from Chris Rock speaking about how in the last 10 years of so he doesn't even do campus shows anymore because of the backlash and treatment he gets.

so where is the rule that prevents people from speaking that you claim exists?

I wonder how Chris Rock's stand up would fare at Liberty University.
I'd say most of the students would find it funny. I bash the liberty crowd as much as anyone. They deny science and all that. But I know many of the type of people who would go there and some who have. Theyre not prudes.

It's in the article. It's pretty clear. The universities have set up rules about speech codes and the like. They get to determine what is appropriate and the language of the codes are vague and broad. Thereby granting them broad discressjon in what they call 'hate' or 'violen' speech.

Back when Anne Coulter was doing speeches at college she was always heckled. She was assaulted, more than once. Students would gather to shout out her speech, and she was even barred from speaking at some after she was announced as the speaker.

I'm not a Coulter fan. But she's published and does well and she has a right to her opinion, but more than that I have a right to hear her opinion if I choose. All those people stopped not just her speech, but the rights of all those who wanted to hear her.

No I did not confuse either one just that his values suck who the fuck is he to insinuate that NY values ain't shit, well neither is he. He can take his ass back to shitkickersville, Tx.

I watched his NY values comment live. I didn't interpret it to mean NY values were bad. Just that NY values were not the same as middle American conservative values.

Right wing speakers incite violence

Left wing speakers incite thinking

Holy shit, such a mystery! Better call the Hardly Boys!
That sounds good on a left leaning message board. But if you look at political violence throughout history it's predominantly coming from the left. Even when the target is considered to be on the left, like JFK, it's someone further to the left, like the communist Lee Harvey Oswald.

An exception and a notible one, were the whites who got violent in the civil rights era, but they were Democrats.

So instead of challenging his ideas, they tell him to not even bother and that they don't want to hear them. Yeah, society is doing wonderful.

Good lord.

No..

He's not choosing to speak in New York at a New York college before the New York republican primary for any other reason than advancing his political agenda. The students of the New York college he chose to speak at gave him a giant "Fuck you, Ted" in order to not promote his message in New York

You think ol' Ted here would give two fucks about New York otherwise? Fuck no he wouldn't! He doesn't have "New York values" after all..


Invite this fuck to a climate change conference where he doesn't have anything political to gain, ask him to come to a public meeting on LGBT rights in the Bronx, see if he's interested in discussing free trade in Central Park, you think he'd come? Of fucking course he wouldn't come to any of those because there's nothing in it for him to win.

That's what Ted Cruz is about, winning for himself. Fuck the free marketplace of ideas. Your ass got conned, and hard!

Who cares how you interpreted those comments we here in NY were offended by them.


This is not a conservative town but we stick together and that's more than he can say coming from shitkickersville, TX. Those comments were interpreted as a slap in the face to us.

Like it fucking matters. Like NY had any chance of voting for a Republican candidate this year.
