4. Hmmm, O'Keefe?

The right-wing will say they were paid by Soros. They are so unimaginative with their fake news.

7. I don't know about this. Freedom of speech applies to everyone, even dickheads like Milo.

It's awful hypocritical of us to bar them from speaking, yet then complain, piss and moan when they do the same to us. If Trump (or other actors) tries to shut down the next BLM protest, he can rightfully point to protests like this.

26. Milo is a vicious and racist misogynist. He was banned from Twitter and Facebook for good reason

14. He was also cancelled at UC Davis

There was a concerted opposition to him speaking. Petitions were sent to the chancellor. I am not
Surprised this happened. While I don't like violence of throwing fireworks at police this was no great shock.

31. The protest organizers were not the ones who encouraged the violence.

My boyfriend was/is there and he was involved in the non-violent protest part. I freaked when I saw it on TV and started texting and calling him until he answered.

40. They do this.

They set up events, purposefully get cancelled, go to their laptops to complain liberals are big meanie heads, cause protests, troll the protests, repeat the cycle. Universities and anywhere else are ****ing fools to fall for these trolls. They shouldn't be invited anywhere.

yes, yes... it's Milo's fault there were riots on attacks on police.

Liberal thinking is a two-legged stool and magical thinking is one of the legs, the other is a combination of self-loating and misanthropy.  To understand it, you would have to be able to sit on that stool while juggling two elephants, an anvil and a fragmentation grenade, sans pin.

1.) Milo is a "white supremacist"? That's a new one. This is how the Race Card has gotten so many holes worn in it.

2.) Why do you think it unlikely that hasn't already happened?

Why does anneboleyn assume Milo hates women, just because he's gay?! Homophobe!

Getting old sucks.
I am trying to remember the burning, rioting and such when Madman Inadinnerjacket was allowed to speak at Columbia or Hugo Chavez before his UN speech.

The conservatives at DU Jr. are fighting mad about this. Lefty is mostly laying low except for a couple. KMOD is applauding the violence.
