Moonbats silence free speech again - and celebrate it

More evidence that these fools live in a whole 'nother world than us, and it's one that doesn't include quaint old notions like "freedom".

CONDI & PAULSON SHUNNED: Occupy Chicago Scores Direct Action Victory 
 MONDAY NOV 14, 2011 1:01 PM
The Steady Occupation: Occupy Chicago Scores Direct Action Victory
BY PATRICK GLENNON


The University of Chicago announced earlier today that a planned lecture featuring Condoleezza Rice and Henry Paulson had been called off due to an “unforeseen scheduling conflict.” Originally set for this evening, the event attracted the ire of the university’s students and members of the ongoing Occupy Chicago movement.

Occupy Chicago had planned to "Un-Welcome" Rice and Paulson, saying "Many... Occupy Chicago members are students at the University of Chicago and plan on attending this event." At least one tweet, by the Occupy Chicago Outreach Committee, specificed this would involve a “rally & mic check.”

The mic check refers to the now commonplace means of communication at Occupy events across the nation, also known as the human microphone or people's mic, in which listeners repeat the speaker’s words so as to amplify his or her message (ironically, Occupy Chicago uses the people's mic in General Assemblies less often than some Occupy locations).

The technique has quickly turned into a tactic for activists seeking to protest events, exemplified earlier this month when 60 activists from Stand Up! Chicago, some of them also Occupy Chicago members, disrupted a speaking event featuring Gov. Scott Walker (R-Wis.). It is likely that tonight's protest would have followed a similar two-part structure, with University of Chicago students eligible to attend the event staging a protest inside while a larger Occupy Chicago presence rallied outside.

When is the last time you saw a mob of Tea Partiers or, say, College Republicans employing these kinds of tactics to shut down a liberal speaker?

5. I love reading this board. :) Thank you.

Yes you do, you ****ing little Brownshirt.

I'm not one to call for violence. I think it looks foolish and puerile on an anonymous discussion board.  But it's becoming increasingly apparent that, sooner or later, it's going to come down to having to crack a few heads in order for us to assert our liberties in the face of these totalitarian wannabes. It's obvious they respect no one's rights but their own.

Today's college students seem to think they know everything already. So why are they going thousands into debt?

I have a 59 year old cousin, college graduate in business, liberal as a commie, and dumb as a stump.

But he "know" everything, donchaknow!   :mental:

BEHOLD THE LIBERAL.

You dumbshits know that that "mic check" or whatever you call it, is creeping the **** out of people.  It's bizarre, you look like a freakish cult, and people just wish you'd drink the koolaid and get it over with.  Do it during winter so it doesn't smell as bad as Ghana.

You can all the "Freedom of Speech" you want as long as the communists agree with it.
