#1 A number of campus groups, including the Chicano caucus, the African-American student organization, and the International Socialist organization, began planning their protests early this week when they heard that the Minutemen would be arriving on campus.

Shameful to believe we've got young men and women dying for the cause of freedom and these communist bastards riot! Expell them permanently, deport them to muzziland where they belong.

#2 The group uses fiery language and unorthodox tactics to advance its platform. "Future generations will inherit a tangle of rancorous, unassimilated, squabbling cultures with no common bond to hold them together, and a certain guarantee of the death of this nation as a harmonious melting pot,'" the group's Web site warns.

ooooh. Where's the fire extinguisher? I'm guessing that if they had called for the destruction of Israel it would have been ok by them. Beheadings - good. Robbery and rapes by coyotes - unpleasant but necessary. Death of our soldiers - a cause celeb!

spoiled child lynch mob about sums it up.

#3 Signs in Arabic at Columbia? Now there is not a suprise.

Liberal flag burners squashing freedom of speech with the aid of Arabs. How pissing sweet.

#4 So wrapped up in themselves they don't even see the irony.

#5 It always surprises me when folks on the right agree to speak at these leftist schools. I suppose they think they are providing an opposing point of view, and that maybe they will influence the thinking of some on campus.

In my mind this is a very naive point of view. These moonbats will not be changed. They KNOW they are right, and nobody's going to change that. Anybody who tries will be met with virulent, and often violent opposition. Hey, if you want to go to one of these cesspools and 'debate' or 'speak', more power to you, but don't come crying to me after the pie hits your face.

Personally, I'd rather shake off the dust of my feet, write "Ichabod" over the doors, and go exert myself in venues where I can actually have an impact.

#6 mcseg -
I think they accept speaking engagements at those places BECAUSE the opposition will act like total idiots. That behavior does have its price - Horowitz was to speak at Brown a few years ago and was either shouted down or the invitation pulled due to protest, I disremember which. Alumni contributions went down. He was invited again later, with strict orders from the administration to behave civilly. He was, of course, thoroughly disagreed with, but treated civilly. The yoots learned a little something in the process.

#7 "These are racist individuals heading a project that terrorizes immigrants on the U.S.-Mexican border," Ryan Fukumori, a Columbia junior who took part in the protest, told The New York Sun. "They have no right to be able to speak here."

I'd like to see this stupid moron name one, only one, real immigrant who has been terrorized or even opposed by the miniutemen. Just one! Immigrants don't come over the border illegally - ILLEGAL ALIENS do.

#8 I am SOOOOO glad I am not going to school these days. I would be in jail and probably expelled for disrupting this type of behavior. I noticed that the malcontents were not stopped by campus security. Good job rent-a-cops you bring honor to the badge. I just want to read one time: "Protestors beaten and dragged away by Campus Security after attempting to infringe on someones freedom of speech." SI SE PUDO!

#9 Columbia can make the right choice - prosecute and expel the students, who were clearly filmed and are identifiable, or turn the keys over to the leftist hoodlums. Who's in charge? Make the choice

#10 Noooo, Frank! They were simply expressing freedom of speech!

Who? There was another speaker there?

You don't say!
