The Left Tries to Quash Free Speech

The Left Tries to Quash Free Speech

October 23rd, 2007 by Warner Todd Huston

Once again, the fascist left tries to quash free speech on one of our oppressive University campuses. Here is a great report on it from some folks who banded together to record the event on video and photographs.

Nonie Darwish at Berkeley during Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week.

“Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week” is a nationwide series of lectures and presentations organized by conservative writer David Horowitz and his various organizations. On the evening of October 22, dozens of famous speakers gave lectures at universities around the country, mostly on the subject of Islamic extremism. The presenter at U.C. Berkeley that evening was Nonie Darwish, an Arab-American author and feminist who has become a Muslim apostate and vociferous critic of radical Islam.

Her appearance at Cal was sponsored by the Berkeley College Republicans, and strongly opposed by several left-wing groups and Muslim organizations, including World Can’t Wait, the Muslim Students Association, and Students for Justice in Palestine. Her speech was even condemned by the ASUC, the official student governing body at Berkeley.

Please, please go to the site and view the hate spewed by the anti-American left infesting our schools.

The report was created by a coalition of folks trying to get out the word.

This report is an experiment in collaborative online journalism. The photos on this page were taken by seven different photographers, each working independently and unknown to one another, who submitted their pictures, videos and observations to a central editor, where they were compiled into a single report. The online nicknames of the seven “citizen journalists” are: bbuck, Chicken Kiev, Dan K., Luvpotion v.9.0, Marwan’s Daughter, neocon hippie, and Temmy. The central editor who created this report — and who did not actually attend the event itself — was me, zombie, the proprietor of this site. I edited the images and videos, and wrote the captions and introduction; the citizen journalists took the photos and videos, and provided first-hand observations and notes, which are the basis of this report.

I thought “fascism” was the government control of corporations, which isn’t what the author of this piece means using the term.

It was mostly the commie lefty groups that tried to shout her down - funny how they support Islamofascists. I guess they don’t get “irony”.

We can't trust the Internet for news either. It must be controlled by the Mass Media, who have the skills, experience and professionalism the job requires.

Being a Leftist means never saying you’re sorry, or “I agree to disagree”.

“Citizen journalists”? “Marwan’s daughter”?

Creepy. Marwan was the terrorist in “24”. I’d be finding out more about that woman.

I had the priveledge and honor of meeting Nonie about a year ago. I never thought that I would be agreeing with a Leftie, but as the self-described Leftie in the first video states, ‘Nonie is a courageous lady.’ The Leftist goes on to say how the disrupters calling themselves Leftists aren’t really, because liberalism means hearing both sides. Guess she hasn’t realized that her side has been hijacked.

Kudos to the lone supporter in the pictures for his courage to make a stand! And congratulations to the guy in the stripped shirt in the second video for speaking out! We need more people like this!

Great reporting! Hope it will be equally well done at USC which should be a conflagration tonight as Ann Coulter steps to the mike. Tomorrow it is Dennis Prager in Santa Barbara.
