The Department of Justice (DOJ) announced this week that it is investigating the University of California, Berkeley, over the security arrangements for the Turning Point USA (TPUSA) event. Antifa and others threatened many entering or leaving the event, including reportedly blocking hundreds from the sold-out event to celebrate free speech and the legacy of murdered Charlie Kirk.
Assistant Attorney General for the Civil Rights Division Harmeet Dhillon shared a letter to UC Berkeley Police Chief Yogananda Pittman, instructing her to “preserve all records” in her possession that are “relevant to the agency’s preparation, execution, and response to the Turning Point event.”
In my book, “The Indispensable Right: Free Speech in an Age of Rage,” I discuss how universities have used security issues to cancel conservative speakers as well as a lack of protection by both universities and cities. The result is that Antifa and other groups can easily disrupt events. The long-standing concern is that some university and municipal departments have been passive-aggressive in facilitating this “heckler’s veto” of speakers.
In the book, I call for the federal government to prioritize the protection of free speech events in the same manner as it has protected other rights, including civil rights. There should be a priority in protecting what John Stuart Mill called these “circles” where ideas are shared and debated.
The university fielded a sizable security force for this event and I am not making any assumptions about a lack of efforts by the university. However, there are allegations that the security allowed violent protesters to be in close proximity to people entering or leaving the event. The result is that many were threatened, spat on, and shoved by protesters. Many could not make it into the event.
The contrast was striking. These protesters were screaming threats and spitting on people who wanted to attend an event supporting free speech. It was intolerable for these protesters that opposing views could be expressed or heard on campus.
There were signature elements of Antifa at the event with black-clad extremists fueling violence and threatening anyone who wanted to hear the speakers.
Without prejudging the outcome of the investigation, the notice to Berkeley serves a valuable purpose in warning universities that their actions will be scrutinized in such controversies. Too often, universities allow hecklers to disrupt events, as when Stanford law students stopped Judge Kyle Duncan from speaking at the law school.
The TPUSA event was long planned, as were the protests. This was not some flash mob but an organized effort to try to cancel the free speech event. The preparations by the university do not appear to have been sufficient, but that does not mean that it was evidence of premeditated or passive-aggressive conduct. However, the review of the preparations is an important warning that, for the first time, universities will face inquiries over such breaches or failures in protecting First Amendment activities.
In what has become a Veterans Day tradition for him, on Tuesday Donald J. Trump laid a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Podiatrist.
Trump made his annual pilgrimage to pay homage to the heroic doctors who issued bogus diagnoses to ensure that their privileged patients never answered the call of duty.
In an emotional tribute, Trump thanked the fallen foot specialists who bravely risked their medical licenses so that others facing military service could be free.
Choking back tears, he said, “They gave everything so people like me could give nothing.”
What a moron.
What Doc gave Trump the OK to no join?
Trump a moron? Really?
OK fool answer the question. What doctor?
Only you ano
Agree, but wasn’t he exempted for ankle/bone spurs, which lead to pain and nerve/vascular issues? His cardio-vascular “swollen” ankles (meanly-noted/made fun of by the media), may be sequelae or distally related in a life (his) that is active but not particularly known for tennis or jogging.
Yes, but by a military doctor. Not your own.
Having been in the service. That’s how it works.
true, but military doctors could also lose their licenses for falsely protecting someone from service by rendering a bogus diagnosis. The point I made was that it does not appear to have been a bogus diagnosis, particularly during a time (by his age, was this during the Vietnam War era?) when the US. could use all the domestic men it could get.
So, bottom line, you correctly pointed out the silliness of the Anonymous comment
So true.
Anonymous aren’t you cute. You remind me of a woman who when she heard that John Elway couldn’t play because he had turf toe she said oh can’t play cause he hurt his widdle toe. There were lots of exemptions given to both liberals and conservatives because they were married or attending college.
How many future Democratic politicians didn’t serve because they had a college exemption?
From Google. During the Vietnam War, college students could receive deferments (II-S classification) to postpone their draft eligibility. While this initially provided a significant way to avoid service, especially for those who could afford college, the system changed over time. The introduction of the draft lottery in late 1969 made draft avoidance harder, though many who had already received deferments managed to complete their schooling before being called. What a putz.
And you wake up in the morning and Trump still won the election and he is still president, even after your witty post.
Antifa are as antifascist as The Shrub’s Clear Skies initiative was antipollution. Harassment, intimidation, and assault are not elements of a legal protest. There will come a time when normal, well-adjusted people will cease to tolerate antifa. It will be a glorious thing to watch.
“well-adjusted people will cease to tolerate antifa…” Are you saying you are “well-adjusted”? Fooled me.
That’s indicative of your weaknesses, not mine.
Indicative of what? Your calls for violence against Americans?
Where? Prove it. Only the left does. Just like the trouble we have seen in Calif and Oregon
Pointing out that a collision is inevitable, even deserved, is not the same as calling for it to happen. Another not to be wished for inevitability: US national debt fallout.
Anonymous says oh you poo poo head again. The eternal child speaks.
How much harder it is to rise above intolerance and instead create models of expected conduct for our young students when faced with crude affronts.
How much easier it is to sink to the base and primeval level of hurling threats and spitting at those they disagree with, when faced with more mature and honorable conduct.
Normal people value civilised behavior but you don’t fight a tribe of vicious, marauding baboons with reason, you hunt them until they learn to stay away or they are extinct.
You have taken my comment to a whole different level, -but nonetheless, I personally appreciate the Leonard Cohen lyric that said something like, “I will love you if I can, I will kill you if I must.” We “civilised” (are you British?) people rue the day when we “must.”
“create models of expected conduct for our young students”. You mean beat them if they ask questions such as why republicans are intolerant of all other political views?
That’ll get them on the old straight and narrow eh?
?????
Lin,
Dont engage. The annony moron never says anything worth responding to.
Wise words
I do not know where you found a number of intolerant Republicans. Have you sought counseling?
Love to see the proof on that comment.
DustOff,
Charlie Kirk proved Republicans are tolerant. He welcomed open debate. When leftists could not win the debate, as Charlie pointed out how faulty their arguments were, they had to kill him. That is exactly something a fascist would do. Silence the opposition. By any means necessary.
why didn;t you tell DustOff and driven not to engage? are you a sexist farmer?
Ano
Dude, you have issues. No really.
Upstate and I said noting about sex. That issue is with you, and you only!
So a significant percentage of college students have neither been taught nor expected to respond to differing opinions with words that express rational thoughts. Name-calling is apropos of pre-schoolers; spitting, physical violence, and destruction of property are unacceptable at any age. And speaking of age, perhaps I am showing mine:)
-not your age at all, civilized means “having a high state of culture and development” which you understand
Suze,
Well said. They are petulant children, who when they do not get their way, the throw a temper tantrum and have to resort to spitting, physical violence, and destruction of property. That kind of behavior would not have been tolerated, and would of been not only embarrassing and humiliating and condemned. Now, the leftists have normalized it. They even celebrate it.
“Yogananda Pittman..,”
I guess Yogi Bear was gender, as well as species, confused…
“why didn;t you tell DustOff and driven not to engage?”
Probably because you are an aggressive 1d10t @$$h013, and they are are not…
Democrat/socialist woman running for mayor of Seattle. Living off family money. Where have we heard this before? Say it ain’t so.
After a week of counting ballots WA state is a joke
So sez the guys who lives in a cave.
Go look at the Seattle news you fool
We’ve seen many examples over the years that the process can become the punishment. This appears to be an opportunity to conduct the equivalent of a colonoscopy on Berkeley, UC security practices as they pertain to the protection of conservative and Jewish free speech events on the campus.
So now comes the potty humor comments. Such an intellectual.
Truth really stings, now doesn’t it
So potty humor is truth? Can’t beat that as an argument for free speech.
That comment makes zero sense. Where did I say YOU can’t have free speech?
It must be painful to be such an unhappy person. Help is available.
Yogananda Pittman..,
Enough said.
Antifa has been around now for more than five years, since at least the Summer of Love. That’s more than enough time for the FBI to have infiltrated the ranks and recruited numerous confidential human sources, aka rats, some facing potential charges if they don’t squeal, and others who just like the excitement of working both sides of the street. It’s not every day the average Jane gets to play James Bond, double agent!
Remember the J6 riot at the Capitol? Not long after the November 3rd election, when Trump lost to Biden, he talked about having a rally on the mall. This gave the FBI almost two months to recruit rats to infiltrate the rally and the subsequent J6 happenings.
According to a report sent to Congress by the current FBI director, the FBI secretly deployed more than 250 plainclothes agents to the U.S. Capitol during the January 6, 2021, riot. Besides this report, the Office of Inspector General of the Justice Department found and reported that of the FBI’s 26 confidential sources on the ground on J6, four entered the Capitol in the midst of the riot, and 13 went into a restricted area. Only nine were not found to have engaged in illegal activity.
So, in just two short months, the FBI was able to organize 250 undercover agents and 26 rats to keep their eyes and ears on what was happening on J6 at the Trump rally in DC and the Capitol. After more than five years, the FBI probably owns and operates one of every two Antifa clowns that are causing mayhem throughout the United States. Remember the Oath Keepers and Proud Boys, who led the parade at the Capitol on J6? They were functionally disbanded after so many of them were exposed as secret FBI rats. I’m sure if and when we get the whole truth about Antifa, that organization, too, will disappear overnight for essentially the same reason.
Now, none of this should be a surprise to anyone who’s been around a while. Between 1956 and 1972, when Congress thought it put a stop to it, the FBI ran its infamous COINTELPRO program that infiltrated domestic political groups and civil rights activists, including the Communist Party USA, anti-Vietnam war groups, the KKK, and Martin Luther King, Jr. Unlawful searches and seizures were common in the interest of “national security.” The object was to destroy these groups and activists from within, by turning trusted members into government rats. All the tricks of the trade from the FBI’s FCI division were employed against “domestic” threats to national security. It was cool but illegal as hell. The program came to a halt shortly after secret FBI documents were stolen and given to a Senate Select Committee. The rest is history. It’s been half a century, but the COINTELPRO program was never really halted. It just went underground and, in the process, developed a whole new list of targets as the palace guard of the ancien regime. Let’s hope that Patel and company are up to the task of finishing the job that the Church Committee thought it had completed back in 1976.
Gobbledygook …
Only for you. Back to class.
JJC,
Good comment.
I am looking forward to the two known antifa terrorists who attacked LEOs at that ICE facility. Have to wonder if the others turned to avoid prison.
the FBI ran its infamous COINTELPRO program that infiltrated domestic political groups and civil rights activists, including the Communist Party USA, anti-Vietnam war groups, the KKK, and Martin Luther King, Jr.
Was it wrong to do so? I don’t see how it was wrong. All of those groups needed infiltrating and surveillance.
Cut all federal funding.
All? Means no social security for you.
You pay into SS you fool
Pay for it? You sure? Prove it.
Look at your pay check, if you have a job or some history of FDR.
What age are you? 15.
DustOff,
Social Security is a poorly ran, government ponzi scheme that is going to go bust. The SS trustees have been warning anyone and everyone who will listen since something like the early 2000s. We have been planning our retirement to assume it will not be there, or will be a pittance of what we put into it.
I so agree. Upstate.
FDR dropped this mess on us, but neither party wants to touch this hot potato.
Yes, but that’s a temporary solution unless it’s proved via evidence these institutions are unconstitutional by 1A and other. The evidence is recorded.
Good on all those people who support the 1stA and for attending the TPUSA event. Real, patriotic Americans!
Upstate
As were see the lib left HATES. Real, patriotic Americans!
“. . . signature elements of Antifa . . .”
Such as this, wherever those gangsters are:
“Fascists!” they scream. As they terrorize dissenters.
Why do so many today ignore the glaringly obvious?
“Glaringly obvious”. What’s so glaringly obvious? Seriously, what?
Their projection.
Sam,
They have this warped delusion that they are fighting against . . . something. The reality is they are fighting against nothing. Well, what they are fighting against is things like logic, decency, common sense, morality, the Constitution, pretty much everything that makes America great.
As I noted the other day, Financial Times did a report and found the birthrate of progressives was at 1.6. The birthrate for conservatives was at 2.4. The replacement rate is 2.1. So, the good news is progressives are breeding themselves out of existence.
Another report found if trends continue as they are, 46% of women will be unmarried by 2030.
” warped delusion that they are fighting against . . . something.” Something? Nothing? You always screamed that nazia, antifa, fascists… etc. are trying to fight the American way off life… the constitution. Now you write Nothing? Which is it you silly hillbilly?
So you as a libs, support this type of action. Harming others over free speech. Now who is the Nazi?
Now who is the Nazi? … ask dustoff, he’s your intellectual leader here. He’s one of those from the potty humorist school.
I’ll use you’re own words.
Prove it.
Upstate Farmer – I agree with the comment that they are fighting for nothing. Like the student radicals of the 1960s, they are looking for a cause b/c their lives are empty or unhappy. Their boredom or unhappiness has been exploited by the Left.
edwardmahl,
Great observation! It has been noted of the rise on the leftists of nihilistic violence.
It is clearly evident that the Berkeley PD that were present for the Assault and Robbery of one attendee, did very little to prevent the attack. Once the attack was initiated and the victim responded with defense the Police acted by arresting both. It is a blatant example of the proANTIFA elements within Law Enforcement in this section of the country. The big question is why???????
This isn’t the first time the Berkeley PD has let Antifa run free.
Prove it. Sayin so doesn’t make it a fact you uneducated little whiner.
I’m from Calif and Berkley is know for this…
excuse me… is known, not know. Obviously you never went to Berkley. Or university. From CA you say, explains everything.
You are correct Dustoff, this isn’t the first time. Self defense doesn’t apply to conservatives at Berkeley (and many other universities). Of course the victim was arrested. The Berkeley University Police want to keep their jobs and retirement so they only take some action when things get out of hand.
You got proof of what you wrote?
Prove him wrong.
Some journalists are referring to the irony of Berkeley once being known for a Free Speech Movement in the 1960’s. But is it ironic? Did anyone else once read that even then, it wasn’t a movement of Free Speech for everyone? That it was also, about Free Speech for only one side? I know I read that history once, but have not been able to verify that recollection.
Herbert Marcuse, the far left Jew who immigrated to America and brought his Frankfort School idiocy with him, and who some have called the intellectual godfather that led to the rise of the New Left radicals in the ’60s, once told his sheep to tolerate only views from the Left and never views from the Right.
“brought his Frankfort School idiocy with him…” What’s so idiotic about it. Read it? Doubt it.
BTW, he worked for the US Gov. in WWII, as a spy, he’s a veteran and you attack him. How unamerican of you.
So, he was anti-Nazi? So was Josef Stalin.
Stalin wasn’t anti-nazi. The difference between him and Hitler was the same as the difference between the Calabrian and Sicilian mafias. No difference at all in principle, they just don’t get along because they’re competitors.
So was Josef Stalin.
The Frankfurt School centered around two Marxist ideas, humanist Marxism and revolutionary Marxism, where humanism was an important idea, and Marx’s proposed solution was revolution. Generally, many only refer to revolutionary Marxism.
Marcuse was the group’s revolutionary Marxist. In rhetorical terms, if you like revolutionary Marxism, then get in bed with Lenin and Mao. They are the end product of the theory, which led to the worst human catstrophes in history.
What do you know about the Frankfurt School?
What’s more important: Marcuse his entire adult life, whether in Germany or the last half of his life in the USA, was an unapologetic promoter of Carl Marx’s communist theology?
Or the fact that Marcuse was a blood libel Jew, who in practice worshiped at the alter of the Rock Fairy Religion Of Atheism? Pretty much the same as Lenin, Stalin, Mao, Hitler, and all of the rest of the murderous communists.
Pity we couldn’t label all of those fellow communists of Marcuse as being Jews as well! Because… well…. it’s always the Jews!
Just ask Antifa and the Democrats’ New Hitler Youth Brigades at these universities.
UC Berkley home of Antifa, Radical Left etc. The Berkley Police Chief was a former Capital Police Officer, helped in the J6 events?? Pelosi district is nearby? they need to look at this police chief closely and their actions. Also, who recommended this person for Berkly police chief? seems unqualified? friends in high places? lots of questions
“look at this police chief closely…” Your mere suspension? Another crackpot folks.
You lose
Chief: Yogananda Pittman
Background: Has served for over 24 years and previously worked with the U.S. Capitol Police before moving to the Bay Area at UC Berkeley.
I bet her Federal and State taxpayer funded pensions are well over $100K. This is exemplary of the cancer government employment brings. How many taxpayers get comp time, can’t be fired, good healthcare plans, immunity from prosecution for negligence in their jobs?
Universities should be Required to do the following. Maintain a wide seperation between protesters and the attendees. If violations of this space occur more than incidentally declare the protest to be an unlawful gathering and immediately require the protesters to disband. Any who refuse are arrested, expelled from the area and the university if they are students. All non students subject to mandatory jail time. If universites enforce this they will be presumed to be compliant. Otheriwse….
“Universities should be Required…” And how do you expect to implement that? Executive order?
Why don’t you have an issue with protesters breaking up political rallies like the Nazis they truly are?
That is the irony. ANTIFA are the Fascists.
So what are they then, Antifa or fascists?
So what are they then, Antifa or fascists?
Antifa are fascists. Fascist is an adjective. Antifa is a noun to which that adjective applies.
BTW, Antifa is short for antifascist. Go figure.
Who cares. They only like their speech and no other.
They are really antiFA: anti-First Amendment.
🙂
Who cares what it’s short for. The fact is that they are fascist. (Fascism is a Marxist heresy.)
John Patrick Lynch,
“ANTIFA are the Fascists.”
Correct! They claim to be fighting fascists, but who they are fighting are just regular, normal Americans. By their words and actions we all know and can see the fascists they truly are.
The good professor points out examples of their fascists ways, like the violence they embrace, vandalism, disorderly conduct, violent protests. Normal people do not behave like that.
And anti-racism is neoracism.
“with protesters breaking up political rallies like the Nazis they truly are?” Wait, you just called them “protestors”, then 7 words later you call them “nazis” ???????
Yes. Nazis were protesters too.
Organized security entry into the event. Arrest anyone that crosses the line of peaceful protest. Mud stomp Antifa terrorists on site, simple.
But you conservatives always screamed that all leftists are violent? But this comment screams “stomp” leftists. Anyone confused yet?
Only you are confused. Left wing trash have been violently attacking people they disagree with since 2015. You can only push so far until you provoke a violent counter response.
It’s been that way for more than 50 years, anon. It’s an island of sorts. It is eery. This is the area that began the no clothes wrapped in a blanket squat and defecate conduct. It’s truly eerily other worldly. Very old…
Yep, organized violent protesters disrupting free speech through use of assault, battery, and physical force should get a good old fashioned ass kicking. No get out of jail free, no $200 pass go, just a good ass kicking by security on the spot.
Gotta love these bigmouths. Demand violence against demonstrators who interfere in demonstrations. I wonder what Trump would say about using violence against 1st amendment right to protest?
There is a difference between a peaceful protest and a riot. One is a Constitutional right, the other is a criminal act. I know that is tough for you but please try to comprehend the difference. One law enforcement should support, one law enforcement should put down.
The left never gets it. Hate and destruction is all they care about.
As we just saw in CA
Bigmouth,
That is quite the difference. They always claim they are just “protesting.” But anyone with any degree of common sense, looking at the videos, can see that is not a peaceful protest, but a riot.
There is no first amendment right to commit crimes. As the Anon of 9:07 wrote: “organized violent protesters disrupting free speech through use of assault, battery, and physical force should get a good old fashioned ass kicking.” Such people are NOT protected by the first amendment, and they deserve to be beaten bloody.
And how do you expect to implement that?
With a “Dear Colleague” letter.
Berkeley, like all other leftist, Marxist crucibles masquerading as “educational” institutions rather than the indoctrination landfills into which they have metastasized, should pay close attention to what Harmeet says. One is reminded of the colloquialism du jour: FAFO.
Surely organizing a counter-rally at a different well separated place at the same time could have been one way to handle the situation. Allow free speech entire.
Old George
It would be nice, But it’s left-wing Berkeley were are talking about, and look who control this state
That would not have worked because the WHOLE POINT of their “protest” was to disrupt the TPUSA event. If they had to rally far enough away to rule out violence they would not have shown up because there would have been no point.
By the way, in the case of genuine peaceful protesters, they cannot be told to have a counter-rally far away. The first amendment protects their right not only to have a rally, but to have it where the people they’re protesting against can see and hear them, and receive their message.
Just as pro-life protesters cannot be kept so far away from a clinic that they can’t effectively deliver their message to those going in, and just as the Phelps family can’t be kept so far away from a funeral that the mourners can’t hear them smearing and cursing the deceased.
The feckless leaders of these left-leaning universities were hired because they are feckless. They like calm business as usual, where the biggest event should be whether to hire some bigshot, or perhaps the deciding math requirements for basket weaving majors. They are unequipped to deal with violence or even the threat of violence.
When it comes to Antifa and similar groups, they live in fear for themselves, from Antifa-supporting faculty, from local and state politicians (also feckless), and anyone else with a checkbook. When you pay a person $1,000,000+/yr for doing not much, you get … not much. You do not get leadership.
What’s the difference between the Berkley leftist protesters and commenters here. Nothing, both are rage filled losers.
Right.. Only the left attacks people for just using their free speech rights.
Just line the Nazis. No difference
“Only the left attacks people for just using their free speech rights.” Are you stupid of sumptin… you’ve been attacking people for their “free speech rights” who don’t share your warped political views for the last 3 years here. 24/7/365 who’s the …
Who attacked who? Antifa always does.
Just like the nightmare in Oregon
Really? Whom exactly has Dustoff injured? Whom has he bloodied? Whom has he harmed in any way? Please tell us that. He hasn’t attacked anyone, because it’s impossible to do so on a blog.
Berkley protesters put someone else’s saliva on your person, assault your body, battery. Turley blog site patriots keep saliva where it belongs, except when reading your posts whereupon it may dribble upon the keyboard as their mouths hang open at your display of daily ignorance and stupidity.
Wanna rewrite that comment, seems you got salvia on your keyboard.
Perhaps but the point is you didn’t get on your face.
“Berkeley”
Salvia, the new Antifa wine spritzer! Broccoli Berkeley whatever! 🤣
failures?
This is what 90% of the staff at Berkeley want, BROWNSHIRT fascism!
Time to END Federal Aid to to colleges, states, cities, non-profits. These “rent-a-mob” are funded by TAXPAYERS. Anyone caught should be DEFUNDED from any government insurance, food, housing, etc!
The crazy left academic world should be taught a real world lesson…Capitalism….not state, federally funded leftism!
This guy screams about crazy left academics, but just take minute and reread this insane screed. Crazy left huh? How about a crazy f-ing right?
Why can’t you agree (for the first time) that what the left did in this instance is wrong? Why is it so hard to say that violent mobs should not be allowed to prevent peaceful students from having their own meetings and rallies?
Why can’t we have one, just one, reporter ask the next politician that says ICE needs to be unmasked what they think about protesters wearing masks? It is the easiest and most obvious follow-up question possible and yet for easy to understand reasons they never ask it.
Wrong, its protect by the first amendment. Should question the people who setup the event. Obviously they were expecting, if not hoping, for violence.
So your answer is to ban setting up a conservative rally???
HB
That is their goal.
Prove it.
What just happened. ,Antifa was there to cause trouble.
Antifa was there, Dustoff? It’s where they live for at least 75 years? It’s not a few. It’s all. TPUSA going in there is like going into a Klan rally. It’s an eery cult area long standing. Is there free speech at a Klang rally or could Rabbi X go into a luftwaffe enclave to talk about the Torah?
You’re naive?
Its not what is stated in the comment you are referencing. Is comprehension an issue for you?
So Antifa can protest, but NO one else can. And if you do, we will harm you.
Do you really believe the BS you just posted.
Correct
Of course the people at TPUSA expect violence, a leftwing lunatic just assassinated the founder for his efforts of bringing open debate to college campuses. I would believe they are quite use to the leftists use of violence and intimidation to disrupt these events that may implode their destructive policies.
No, it is NOT protected by the first amendment, or by any amendment. It is organized crime, pure and simple. The first amendment says you can SAY whatever you like; but you cannot commit crimes at the same time. You can’t rob a bank and get away with it just because you’re protesting something at the same time. Your crime is still a crime. And the same is true of these “protesters”, just as it was true of the BLM “protesters”, all of whom should have been given the J6 treatment and held in solitary without bail for years.
The videos show the violence came from the left. What evidence do you have that TPUSA was hoping for violence?
You will not respond because you are all talk.
HullBobby,
Nice idea, but never happen. Leftists are against freedom of speech unless it is their speech. They only want their speech to be heard. All others have to be silenced. Just goes to show the fascists they really are.
Upstate.
You just nailed it. Free speech for the left ONLY.
“You just nailed it. Free speech for the left ONLY.” UF wrote: “Leftists are against freedom of speech”. Got a comprehension problem this morning dustoff?
Nope, but you sure do.
Who showed up to cause trouble. Antifa.
Correct
Ano
Did you miss the part. The other Ano said nothing about hurting the other side. You and your Nazis folks live for harming others.
Miss the part? Its not what was written. Did someone just hit you with a hockey puck? Would explain a lot of things with your incomprehension.
“It was intolerable for these (protesters ) right wing commenters that opposing views could be expressed or heard” … on Turley’s blog…
Ano
opposing views

Has anyone here or Turley stopped you?
My God go get an education.
Looks like the local dummies just brought in the big intellectual gun … dustoff the uneducated. At least he respects education, although its obvious he lacks any.
DustOff,
That is the typical lefitsts warped and delusional mind set. They try to claim their opposing views are getting stopped or censored, when clearly they are not. I mean just look at all their dumb comments that add nothing to a civil conversation. I just checked yesterdays MSU Under Fire column by the good professor. The annony moron was here, making dumb comments as late as 9:38PM, https://jonathanturley.org/2025/11/11/msu-under-fire-for-radical-teacher-training-materials-on-race-and-capitalism/comment-page-3/#comment-2574066
So, no. No one has stop it from commenting. But that is how warped their minds are. We make reasonable, common sense, logical comments and it claims we are making hateful comments, or screaming. Anyone with any degree of common sense can see that.
Bring on the clowns …
Yeah… where’s dutsoff?
It’s what these leftists are trying to do, create chaos and disruption so that Universities will no longer allow these events on campuses. This is very simple to halt, any violent protest action results in immediate arrest. Assault and battery charges with jail time will curb this behavior. Antifa participants get special prosecution for being associated with a domestic terror group.
The 1st smart comment this morning.
Right here fool. So you like other libs think it;s OK to harm others for free speech..
Now who is the Nazi, Hmmm?
What is a nazi?
YOU, when you stop others from their rights. That is a Nazis.
Try reading some history
What is a lib? What is a nazi?
They support each other.
DustOff,
Watching the videos of antifa’s behavior, I would say libs and Nazis are becoming one in the same.
