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).

[Darkwolf377]

" 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.

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

Irony so thick you can cut it with a knife.

[IllumiNaughtyByNature]

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

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

[3AngelaD]

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

[EagleUSA]

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...

[tumblindice]

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

[RoadTest]

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

[Colofornian]

"'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.

[TheRobb7]

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.............

[Colofornian]

"'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?

[GarySpFc]

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

[Sergio]

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."

[apackof2]

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

[E Rocc]

It's rather ironic that this happened in Lerner Hall, a building paid for, and named after, a son of Russian immigrants who was a USMC alumni and a staunch Republican.

"I don't feel like we need to apologize or anything. It was fundamentally a part of free speech. ... The Minutemen are not a legitimate part of the debate on immigration."

So, rushing the stage and attacking an invited speaker is 'free speech' BUT, because the 'invited' speaker doesn't share your views, he's not allowed to exercise HIS First Amendment rights?

Got to be a damn demorat left wing nut because only they can come up with such illogical reasoning.

And that is exactly why these people do not need to be in control. Opposing view points will be suppressed. Free speech will be allowed IF that speech conforms to the party line. Media will be restricted. Certain talk show host will be required to 'tone' down their anti-progressive speech or be unplugged. They will capitulate to the terrorist and we will become de facto prisoners of a hate oriented 'religion'. The 'state' will become the church of their 'progressive' religion and heavy tithe will be required.

[snowman1]

They will allow an ISLAMIC PIG to spit on the US but have problems with someone who is trying to protect this country.

[rface]

I sure wish someone would include where the hell this happened....maybe Vermont. I don't know

[SamuraiScot]

Xiomara Maldonado, BC '08 and member of the Barnard group Mujeres

I thought everyone on the Left was supposed to be properly feminist. Doesn't "mujer" mean "wife"? They're not independent (crazy) women, but (crazy) help-meets of the male illegal lobby?

I'll have to file a complaint with the PC police. And someone, please deport these people—citizens or not.

[TexasRepublic]

Two-way dialogue is impossible with some groups and individuals. They don't play by fair rules -- they are liars, cheats, and sometimes murderers. Their resort to violence is proof enough why freedom-loving people need always to retain the means of physically resisting them.

[staytrue]

Just to take the opposite viewpoint.

Columbia is the most liberal of the Ivies and this would not have happened at Hopkins, Princeton, Harvard, Yale.

The minutemen were smart to pick Columbia and the protestors were stupid to give the minutemen what they wanted, A NEWS STORY TO PUBLICIZE THEIR CAUSE.
