Hate Speech Alleged Against Bay Buchanan @ Ithaca College

"'What is a public forum?' Rothman asked rhetorically. 'What are fighting words? This all generates very good, challenging, complex discussion.'"

Now...this one's really deep.
Perhaps next in the imbecile's intellectual evolution he might contemplate other, more lofty questions such as, "What is a job?" "Will I be able to hold one?" "Will my employer put-up with my bullshit or, through me out the door on my ass?" -- rhetorically, of course.

"Trouble began before Buchanan even set foot on campus..."

Totally *accidental* too, no doubt -- no doubt.

"The Republicans apologized for the fliers at an April 3 meeting attended by more than 50 students who were disturbed by the posters."

Why the apology?
I don't get it; at a real loss on this one...
Bump the, "Disturbed Ones" Prozac; &, send 'em packin' on their way.
What the hell are they spawning up there in that NYState hellhole, anyway?
It's kind of obvious they've wayyyyyyy too much time on their hands.

"'We do not go by that here.' Daniel Baker, president of Created Equal: Allied in Fighting Homophobia, said the poster was in poor taste, 'especially in Gaypril when there is heightened risk of violence against the LGB community.'"

...OK; next month is Mayids?

Have your fellow campus pubbies look up Herbert Marcuse and his idea of "Repressive Tolerance." Basically Repressive Tolerance means any idea from the right is to be slandered, ridiculed and its bearer to be burdened by Stalinist perjoratives such as "racist", "anti-semite", and the newer versions such as "homophobe" all in an effort to discredit the idea.

What's frightening about the whole damned thing *isn't* the screwed-up politics as much as it is the DUMB BUNNIES they're spewing out at this joke of a school.

El Presidente' figures he'll be retired-off on a nice, fat & plump pension before people figure out the scam.

Sad truth is?
He's probably right; so, he's miles ahead of the game simply giving 'em what they want.

...white, male Liberals; the worst of the worst.

I realize that these idiots (Rothman, et al) are youngsters and everything but do they have any inkling whatsoever that what they want to do, ultimately, is regulate free speech?

Every time I wonder how low the scumbag liberals will go, I get surprised by something worse. These fools are testing the foundation of this once-proud nation, and maybe that is a good thing, but then some of these mice end up in positions where they can either appoint or be appointed to judicial positions by Democrats, where they can actually do great damage.

welcome to Free Republic!

I'm a 21 year old conservative from Rochester, I am trying to start the YR up here in Monroe County.

Too bad I couldn't make it to Ithaca for Bay's speech.

Please keep me posted on what goes on down there. Maybe we'll run into each other soon.
