As usual the left supports free speech unless it is something they do not want to hear.
Where is the outrage from Bernie Sanders, Clinton, Warren, Schumer, Pelosi, Ellison, Sharpton, NBC, CNN and MSNBC?
Events like this only damage the Dems and strengthen the support for Trump.

This is the perfect example of how you think the media should work. You want the media to offer opinions rather than report the facts!. You take fact checks as attacks and spin it as biased. YOU'LL NEVER BE HAPPY WITH FACTS SO YOU'LL ALWAYS WHINE ABOUT THE MEDIA BECAUSE YOU DEMAND AFFIRMATION NOT INFORMATION.

It's being reported, sorry they won't tell you what to think.

Did not say anything about reporting.
I said outrage.
Just checked CNN website an hour ago and there was
nothing about the story. They may have changed that by now .
If right blocked Muslim from speaking on public campus
it would be covered 24/7.

???? I read about this morning after clicking on a yahoo headline, so it was mos def reported. Not sure if it's anything to be outraged by. There are protests on both sides, while I do agree the leftist protests are more over-the-top.

Will let you get back to tweaking about the Budweiser ad


Milo is a ballsy dude. I like him

Agree Lowell, Fox news was able to get live coverage on air about the DENIAL of first amendment rights, I doubt CNN or MSNBC did the same, it's not a story if you don't show it.

Holy shit. Much worse than i realized. There is video.... the little blurb I read this morning made it seem like a typical deal.

Hard to believe that Lowell is right.... no pun intended

Yiannopoulos had been invited to speak on campus by a group of Berkeley Republicans, but the event was called off by the university after protesters clashed with police, lit fires and smashed windows outside the student union, forcing a temporary lockdown. CNN reported that some even ?threw commercial-grade fireworks and rocks at police.?

I know it thanks to reflog. I don't know anything about the guy but assumed he was a typical chirping chickenhawk. I shouldn't have done that and deeply regret my comment. :0003

Heard Milo speak after the cancelation. Wish he had continued to speak. He has a crew of ex Navy Seals as bodyguards. He would have been fine. Not so sure about the Soros crew.
Funny thing is UCB was making him pay for security. Wonder who will pay for the vandalism.
Trump should put hire Milo.

Universities are selectively making speakers, or the group bring in the speakers pay for security rather than banning them

Most bigoted fascist demagogues work hard to cultivate and project this outward appearance.

Milo Yiannopoulos is a venomous dimwit but I think that the Berkley administrators took the correct position. Alt-right douches should be allowed a forum - even if only to engage them in debate, and refute and dispel their messages.

The stereotypical identity obsessed lefty university student ? sometimes, and perhaps more often than not these days, the Black Bloc folks - look to me like mirror images of right wing intolerance. Snarky nazi-punching memes play right into the hands of troglodytes like Yiannopoulos who, in moments like these, can assert that "...the Left is absolutely terrified of free speech and will do literally anything to shut it down." However, I?m certainly not opposed to punching Nazis in their faces, so I remain conflicted by this.

Peace! :)

Why did Milo get banned for Twitter? Is it because he loves his country too much?

No, he's British, Jack Dorsey is a fucking cunt, that's why he got banned.

JMHO

Twitter is full of liberal pussies, they got me suspended

Twitter didn't approve of your thoughtful takes and sharp wit? I find that hard to believe. :0003
