Well at least they didn't riot, storm the stage, and throw him out of the building like the students did at Columbia University.

He spoke. Somebody else nearly started a riot.

The tables should be turned on Hispanics and their outrageous support of unlawfulness.

Who’s being racist? If these were Africans or Europeans or Asians . . . would Hispanics scream as loudly? If not, why?

Start asking the questions.

“Mexicans” is not a race.

[NavVet]

Very predictable. The left-wing moonbats are all for tolerance and free speech, unless that means tolerating the free speech of an opposing point of view.

[Joe Brower]

"He spoke. Somebody else nearly started a riot."

Yes, exactly.

And that "somebody else" also felt they had to play the race card right off the bat. Pathetic.

“Fernando Mejia, a Boise State student, said the protestors wanted to portray the message that immigration is an American experience.”

Indeed it is an American experience. If you want to come to this country and become an American citizen, then by all means do it the legal way. But if you want to come to this country, keep your claim to you native country and come in illegaly, the American way should be to kick your rearends back to where you came from. That is also the American experience. Oh ya, and more thing. If you are in this country, appreciate it not colonize it.

The Minute Men were founded in October 2002 to address the issue of illegal entry to the United States. There are 117 chapters across the nation and 10,000 volunteers.

Simcox emphasized that some groups of the Minute Men split from the original organization; he apologized for their extreme rhetoric and stressed this is not what he represents.

What a load. The Minutman project was started in late 2004 by Jim Gilchrist. That resulted in the original Minuteman Project in April 2005. The Minuteman Project exists to this day as a group of individual organization.

Minuteman Civil Defense Corps did not exist untill several months AFTER the original project in April, 2005. It is Chris Simcox's org and primarily asks for donations which seem to disappear into MCDC will little coming back out to aid the volunteers that join MCDC. Chris pretty much causes some sort of trouble in everything he is involved in. He has had entire State Chapters quit en mass due to his refusal to account for rather large sums of money donated by the volunteers.

In what way is securing the border racial hatred?

[Halcontent]

Some egotistical volunteers tried to blind-side Simcox and take over. It didn’t work so now they smear him.
Gilchrist was voted out by his organization. He does nothing on the borders ever since 2005. He’d rather write books and run for office.
All Minutemen and Minuteman groups are patriots and are, at least, doing something about this invasion. Why bash them? Where would we be without them?

[Regulator]

Take your hate and get off our campus

So now the university - built and paid for basically by 6 generations of Americans, mostly Mormons - is the property of Mexico?

The greatest theft in history is taking place before our eyes. The physical assets of the Americans are simply being occupied and taken by the citizens of Mexico, and anyone who objects will be labeled "racist".

Good tactic on their part. Appears to be working -- they're even expanding their horizons to places like Idaho.

[TLI]

Reverse everything you just stated. You will be close to the truth.

However his closing statement sparked outrage among the protestors while his supporters gave him a standing ovation.

"We have room for one flag in this nation: the American flag. We have room for one language: the English language," Simcox concluded.

The fact that his closing statement sparked outrage tells us all we need to know. Are we sure those that were "outraged" were not followers of islam? That is their MO.

Well, it has worked very well for those that are now called "palestinians"

"We want to let him know that his hate speech is not welcome," Lucia Venegas said. Venegas, a Boise State graduate student in counseling said she feels his presence made some students feel unwelcome at BSU.

EXACTLY! Criminal alien invaders are NOT welcome!!!

"We have room for one flag in this nation: the American flag. We have room for one language: the English language,"

That this sparked 'outrage' among the "tolerant" campus set says all one needs to know about where they're coming from.

And who's side all real Americans should be on.
