Open minded liberals...
Liberals at UCONN found it necessary to silence conservative firebrand Ann Coulter yesterday during a speech she gave there. (story)
Just another example of liberal hypocrisy on College Campuses where any opinion is valid, except conservative ones.Conservative columnist Ann Coulter gave up trying to finish a speech at the University of Connecticut on Wednesday night when boos and jeers from the audience became overwhelming. Coulter cut off the talk after 15 minutes and instead held a half-hour question-and-answer session.
Freedom of speech only extends until liberals feel stupid, then they decide to quash it. Remember, the "heckler's veto" is only valid when a group is in the minority. On college campuses, the liberals OWN the ivory towers of education. This is an invalid use of free speech and these "open minded liberals" should tolerate other view points.
What would happen if Ann Coulter would come to Madison? Fire? Gun shots? I cringe to even think about it!

Link for Bob.
The organized Right is actually far less tolerant of free-speech than the organized left. They drove the founder of Protest Warrior from a pro-war rally in Crawford Texas, thinking he was a liberal hippy, after destroying his sign and threatening violence against him.
When members of Protest Warrior show up to anti-war protests organized by the left, they are greated with verbal disdain, but not violence or attempts to stamp out their free speech rights. The same cannot be said for the pro-war Right.
You can almost skip the whole written story, and just watch the video at the bottom of that link. Its particularily informative.

Good points Badgerzach! The anti-war, radical left has provided many examples of being against free speech in the past year!
