This kind of Stalinist stuff goes on at Columbia all the time. The idea that "we believe in free speech (for people who are a 'legitimate' part of the debate).

" It was fundamentally a part of free speech. ... The Minutemen are not a legitimate part of the debate on immigration."

Ironly so thick you can cut it with a knife.

If this a$$hat had half the IQ of my compost pile he would realize the asinine statement he just made.

"....students in the International Socialist Organization...." really says it all. Wonder who's paying for that.

Sadly, this country is full of anti-American, anti-Constitution, anti-law, anti-border, anti-soverignty freaks, fools, and louts.

And excellent example of what the liberal %$#@-holes we call universities are breeding...

The irony would be obvious in most parts of the country but there's something.....special...about the Upper West Side of Manhattan.

'Racist': any conservative beating the h*** out of a liberal in free, open and honest debate.

The Dimbulb party has no sense of shame, no morals, nothing to offer America.

"'No one is illegal'...'The Minutemen are not legitimate'..."

Now that's irony. Nobody is illegal citizenship-wise; but some are illegitimate free-speech wise.

Something similar happened 2,000 years ago to a guy named Stephen.

The audience of clergymen couldn't handle what Stephen was saying, so they rushed him and even gnawed on him with their teeth.

Truth has that effect on some people.............

"" It was fundamentally a part of free speech. ... The Minutemen are not a legitimate part of the debate on immigration.""

The pigs in Orwell's "Animal Farm". Some individuals are freer than others.

A preview of America as the Lib/Dem would have it be,
Free Speech for me, But not for thee.

"'No one is illegal'..."

I wonder if the students holding this banner are consistent. Is no intruder in their home "illegal"? Do they have an open-door policy in their household? And are they willing to bear all medical and some other costs of all who come on in unannounced, uninvited?

Those people have company under their skins. They're not alone in there.

This is great when you think about it. It clearly puts the Leftist's tyranny on display.

It took me a minute to figure that one out.

Possession. I haven't thought about it like that, but yeah, you're spot on with that one.

I would have made sure that you could only get in if you bought a ticket. Then I would have filled the place to bursting with Minutemen supporters so none of the ticket buyers could get in.

As soon as the libs start squawking about how they bought a ticket and should be let in, the organizers could say, "hey, nobody is illegal."

Two students in the International Socialist Organization unfurled a yellow banner reading, "No one is illegal!"

Doubt if they would feel the same at a pro-life rally
