Hundreds of Yale Law Students Disrupt Bipartisan Free Speech Event

Here come the Leftists supporting a shout down of Free Speech.... as expected. They don't tolerate others sharing views that do not mirror their programmed views. The define perfectly valid people and their views as hate groups, racists, and hate speech. This is what despots do to justify their tyranny.

We know who is on the wrong side of history and it's not close.

 

If the only way you can make your point is by shouting down the opinions of others, you just might be a Totalitarian.

Apparently, they seem to have forgotten Jefferson's quote about defending to the death the rights of people to say what they want even when you vehemently disagree with it.

 

What's really sad is that people believe that preventing others from speaking and peaceably assembling is still free speech. They act like condemning this behavior is in fact an infringement on free speech. These people chose to disrupt an event and prevent others from exercising their rights. That is not freedom of speech, that is suppression of speech and intimidation. They are not freedom fighters and they do not care about the rights of others.

Since October of 2010 I have been a member of this forum. I haven't always had the ability to participate, but I have consistently said in all this time that we need to listen and talk, that is how we improve this nation. We're not even allowed to gather and discuss things now. I genuinely do not know how we move pass this and make things better. It has been getting worse and worse and if continue as is, then I believe there is no fixing it. We won't even be allowed to talk about it and the ones who manage to do so will be labeled as grifters. If we can't have a civil discussion then where does that leave things? It really does make me feel sad and hopeless.

 

Yeah which is why I’m really upset that the conservatives here seem to disagree with letting the protesters protest. Aren’t they the ones clamoring on about the Jan 6th protesters being so peaceful and having the right to freedom of speech?

 

But aren’t those rules in place making it so the protesters can’t protest? Which in turn would be a violation of their right to free speech?

 

Who said they couldn't protest? No one was denying them that right. They could have set up in front of the building or anywhere else. The point is they still had their right to free speech. They actively tried to deny others that same right. Why is that an issue for you and why are you trying to play semantics with it? I have no problem defending free speech regardless of someone's personal beliefs but you act like being upset by this is the same as trying to prevent others from speaking. It's dishonest and Krane I honestly believe you're smart enough to know that. If you want to pretend it's free and equal speech to deny others the same right though then I don't know what to tell you.

So are you for allowing people to use their voice to silence others, or do you believe in free speech equally?

 

When you don't WANT to hear what others are hearing to the point where you shout them down, that isn't exercising free speech at all, that's silencing it. When you're happy about someone's viewpoint being silenced even - heck, ESPECIALLY - when you disagree with it, you just might be a totalitarian.

There are threads about 1/6 where I'm sure you can discuss that.

 

Protesting isn’t eliminating the ability of a speaker to speak or shouting them down. You shout when you don’t have anything intelligent to say which is 99% of what comes out of leftists mouths. That’s a borderline riot, bullying and totalitarianism. But what can we expect from a NY leftist. You love your totalitarianism.

 

I dont think that’s an appropriate way to express disagreement with someone.

 

Lol isn’t that trumps debate style?

 

Oh god!!! Trump Trump trump. Still?? TDS much. And no. He didn’t shout people down.He called people nicknames though, hehe.

 

Communists usually use young folks as pawns because they fill them full of crap.

 

And Trump is mentioned.....everybody drink!

 

Freedom of Speech is a right for *everyone*.

It's not "Freedom if you can be louder and more obnoxious Speech".

 

He didn’t shout over people in debates? Lol ok

 

Isn’t he your front runner? You abandoning him already? Lol

 

That’s not even really the issue here, I mean the school wouldn’t give a platform to nambla would they?

 

It was the issue in the post I replied to though.

I don't know if the school would give NAMBLA a platform or not. Why does it matter? It's their property. They can host whomever they want to host and deny anybody they want to deny (and possible suffer some consequences).

 

Dude! If we drank every time a Leftist derailed a thread to attack Trump, we'd be having liver failure within 24 hours.

 

^^^ 100%

It's real simple to figure out who is stopping Free Speech... and it's the Left. They cannot tolerate views outside their fringe spectrum.

 

You're not upset. You're trolling. There's no way you're so stupid you can't see that shouting down speakers is in direct opposition to our American tradition of free speech.

 

Honestly, it would not surprise me if they did.

 

Hate is hate....and nobody hates people like leftists.

See I can do it too.

The 'tolerant' left strikes again.

 

Since you call them hate group could you post some evidence such as quotes of things they have said not because some organizations so labeled them.

I'd like to hear some examples of exactly what makes a group of hate group some words that they have said?

 

I wonder if lefties have ever heard the phrase "My Rights end at the tip of your nose". Or "My Rights end where yours begins".

They both mean the same thing. You can exercise yours Rights so long as it does not interfere with someone else's Rights. By shouting down people you are violating thier Right to free speech. Period. You can pretend that you're not. That you're only using your free speech rights also. But it's a BS argument. You cannot use your Rights to override another person's Rights. Period.

Of course those same people believe that such ONLY applies when it involves the Government. But then those same people demand that you respect other people's "Rights". Such as not calling a m to f transgender a Male. Or to not be offensive (never you mind that what is/is not offensive changes daily) Or to serve them a cake that you ordinarily would not make. And many others. The list is endless.
