Only the left does this; they're not real big on free speech. Conservatives never do this to leftist speakers.

To be fair to the University, Brown University is apparently taking in the case for review (and may actually take action against the protestors).

Saying it and doing it aren't the same. Shouting down and silencing opposing views is a hallmark of the left.

1) I don't fault Brown. I fault the loony socialists who shouted down Kelly and wouldn't let him speak. Who are those bastards?

2) Why does this only happen on the left? You absolutely never hear about some conservatives heckling a leftist speaker on campus.

Easy to sit in Providence, Rhode Island, and feel sorry for people being stopped and frisked.
Harder to live in an area that you need this policy to dig into crime.
Guess we shouldn't stop people boarding airlines, or those going into the White House to check their packages either.
Chicago should implement the same search system.

They are Brown students. And there is every reason to blame Brown for this.

Because the left siezed control of positions of influence: universities, schools, broadcast media...and framed the discussion that anytime they were questioned it was b/c of neo-nazi tyrants who were bigoted racists, homophobes, etc. But they are trying to save the world, so any action on their part is noble.

Oh yeah. Makes sense.
