(CNSNews.com) - Protestors stormed the stage at Columbia University Wednesday night, yelling, waving banners and ending the speech from Minuteman Project founder Jim Gilchrest minutes after it began.

As Gilchrest started to deliver his remarks at a speech sponsored by the CU College Republicans, members of the audience began yelling and cheering. He watched quietly as students rushed the stage with fists raised and displayed banners proclaiming, "No One Is Illegal."

According to a statement released by Columbia University College Republicans President Chris Kulawik, protestors took control of the stage for "fifteen chaotic minutes" before security personnel ended the event.

Yes, he was not protected. On YouTube, the 'guards' were just standing around not doing diddley. I called the President's very nice Secretary and told her it was disgusting, and that if my son were attending Columbia, he'd be out today!!

"No One Is Illegal."

I guess we'd better empty the jails then.

I'm not sure if what happened was exclusive to Columbia.

Back in the late 80's, I knew two members of the Univ of Minnesota College Republicans.

After getting their undergrad degrees, they both went to the U of M's law school and three years later, came out as liberals.

The unusual part is that, while in the CR's, they would occasionally chide me for not being sufficiently conservative!

There may well come a time when harshness is far more valuable than compassion.

The irony of this is it was a faceoff between two groups on the extreme, one against any immigration and another in favor of unlimited immigration with no expectations of assimilation.

This confrontation took place in a building paid for and named after Al Lerner, a son of Russian immigrants who was a Marine Corps alumni, extremely successful in business, and a staunch Republican. A man whose life proved both of these groups wrong.

The specific facts surrounding the incident are under active investigation...

We will continue to review...

This is standard Liberalspeak for "we will stonewall, claiming not enough information, until you go away."

Free Speech Leftist Style......

Some Speech is more 'Free' than others, I guess.


Keep your ammo boxes dry, as someday when a Libtard mob follows a Commie Pied Piper to come get you, you can teach them a lesson about why the Founding Fathers included the Gun bits in the 2nd Amendment.

Excuse me, but my understanding is that the Minutemen oppose only ILLEGAL immigration.

Are you one of those who doesn't know the difference between Legal and Illegal Immigration ???

Where have you heard that the Minuteman group is against Legal Immigration ???

I would suggest not using the Leftist's definition of 'extremist' here.

Oops, reply was to Eric......

Well, I hope I don't live to see the day in the United States where people are lined up against a wall and shot just for interfering with another person's right to free speech. That's just crazy!

[Shadow Deamon]

"Someday actions such as this will result in "people" being lined up against a wall and shot. Ummm...well,that's a little, uh...harsh...I was only thinking they should be arrested and fined...hmmm"

I think he was referring to a "someday" following the fascist takeover that's coming our way. At that point, anyone who disagrees with the State will be shot.

Well, I thought it was possible that he meant that till he gave me this reply - There may well come a time when harshness is far more valuable than compassion.

I'm just going to mind my own business now cuz he skeerz me and I don't want to get him riled!

Columbia University--a hotbed of islamism and Arabism, as well as anti-Americanism!!!!

How long will it be until violence is responded to with violence?

[RoadTest]

"How long will it be until violence is responded to with violence?"

I don't know how long, but I know where the violence should be returned. KGB Headquaarters.

[BigCinBigD]

I do hope it never comes to that as well. But I do know the only way to deal with evil is to destroy it. No talking. No reasoning, just brutal efficient destruction.

You're either grossly ignorant or lying.
