Tom Tancredo Event UNC Shut Down By Violence 2 (Video of protesters and attack)
Youtube ^ | April 14, 2009

Watch video of Cong. Tom Tancredo's attempt at free speech completely ruined by left wing nutjobs.

Free speech is now only for those who are anti-American.

And, my wife wonders why I get angry.

Finest University?....not from where I sit....this University has been taken over. Save your daughter and save your money. Send her to High Point!

UNC is NOT what it used to be. You should be so angry at what you just saw. 18 years of your values literally just hit the window....and nothing was done! You should think twice and stop supporting such a radical...anti American school.

SILENCE IS CONSENT !!!

My daughter goes to UNC. I’m appalled at the sight of this at one of the finest universities in the country.

Obviously it's NOT one of the finest universities in the country...You've been duped...

I was in Cambridge MA during the late 1960s and these tactics are identical. One time, LBJ sent Walt Rostow to MIT to speak before a thousand students to talk about the Vietnam War, and he was shouted down before he could say a whole sentence -- with no repercussions at all.

These methods have proven their effectiveness for way over a century, and we need to help our neighbors recognize socialist/fascist methods when they occur. This is not just some regular college students demonstrating, but may very well be a well-organized group of young people whose job it is to demonstrate, so theoretical threats of expulsion for property damage and harassment are meaningless.

So where's the Department of Homeland Security report identifying these rabid anti-First Amendment nutcases as threats to our fundamental freedoms?

The person(s) who broke that glass should have been arrested on the spot!

It was hard to take watching Campus Police just standing there doing nothing to eject the trouble makers from the room.

BTW, isn't it SOP for disruptive Code Pinkos to be ejected from Senate hearings?

Not any more. The end is truly near.

Agree fully that it is WAR. At first I thought that responsible people on both right and left would denounce this type of behavior. I was naive. The left fully supports this behavior and tactics. We must not sit by passively, but take the fight to them.

I don’t know why everyone is shocked, it’s a University with a bunch of brains full of mush being taught by Profs who have $hit for brains. Case in point ND.

Color me ignorant, but it just came to my attention today that Napolitano is a homosexual.

Just what we need. A Christian conservative hating anti-traditionalist in a law enforcement position. I don’t know that she has a chip on her shoulder and a penchant for punishing her perceived foes, but I’d give the over/under at 90%.

I notice the newsbroad caster refers to him as “Anti-Immigration”. It’s never “anti-illegal”

I just want to backslap that girl in the main picture clapping her hands!

What can you expect from a university run by Clinton’s Chief of Staff?

Here is the message from the chancellor about the incident:


I want to express how disappointed I am in what happened last night when former Congressman Tom Tancredo wasn’t able to speak when a protest got out of hand, and our Department of Public Safety had to take action.
Congressman Tancredo felt threatened and left without making his remarks.

Mr. Tancredo was scheduled to speak about immigration. We expect protests about controversial subjects at Carolina. That’s part of our culture. But we also pride ourselves on being a place where all points of view can be expressed and heard. There’s a way to protest that respects free speech and allows people with opposing views to be heard.
Here that’s often meant that groups protesting a speaker have displayed signs or banners, silently expressing their opinions while the speaker had his or her say. That didn’t happen last night.

On behalf of our University community, I called Mr. Tancredo today to apologize for how he was treated. In addition, our Department of Public Safety is investigating this incident. They will pursue criminal charges if any are warranted. Our Division of Student Affairs is also investigating student involvement in the protest. If that investigation determines sufficient evidence, participating students could face Honor Court proceedings.

Carolina’s tradition of free speech is a fundamental part of what has made this place special for more than 200 years. Let’s recommit ourselves to that ideal.

Sincerely,

Holden Thorp

Being as I am stuck with Dial up connection due living in the sticks with nothing else available, I don’t do Video’s, so forgive me if the answer was in the Video.

Why do the “Campus Police” escort the invited speaker off campus, rather than the perpetrators of the mischief?

Seems to me the perpetrators should be apprehended for if nothing else the costs they caused to the school and the community for their actions. They should be identified and their sources of funding should be identified to the press as well.

As we cannot trust the MSM to relay to us the information as to the source(s) of funding of the radical disruptors, then it should be up to New Media bloggers to raise everyones level of conciousness on the matter.

How about a group of words like, “perverted demon filled pustules, enemies of our United States that wallow in their immoral filth like a fat hog in slop!”

Of course “traitorous trash worthy of only the finest rope from the highest tree” works good too.

Sorry, but UNC is no longer a fine univeristy.

No fine university hires armed men to throw out invited speakers to appease fascist thugs.

The reputation of UNC has just tanked.
