Could trivialize the statement given the fact that Cornell West isn't a particularly significant individual. However he's echoing the words of Andrew Cuomo, a Democrat with legitimate Presidental (running) ambitions. Or maybe Andrew is channeling Cornell.

“I Don’t Think We Should be Tolerating Conservative Views”

True. You should be embracing them.

Well, the “dominant culture” is decidedly liberal, at least in film and television and the national Media. But, the Leftist, in his solipsism, cannot see that. He sees it as normal.

There’s a whole lot of particularly insignificant individuals that want to ‘change’ this Republic. I watched a crew (including Frances Piven) on CSpan this weekend discussing their collective book, “Imagine Living in A Socialist USA”.
It sent chills down my spine. It doesn’t take a majority as my German Mother often tells me.

West has made a career of being the affirmative action enfant terrible of the academic Marxist left. He has produced nothing of intellectual note despite years of Ivy League appointments. Like other "Black leaders" he is held in a certain regard by the left just for being there, and being black.

The Nazis and communists used to say this all of the time. Conservatives have always managed to survive in the long run.

proof that concepts like “Freedom of Speech” never could have originated from a liberal.

Looking at ONLY one side of things (WHICHEVER side!) qualifies as ‘propaganda’.

Universities should require any speaker to score 1200 on an SAT test prior to booking them. Law schools should require speakers to score 175 on their LSAT prior to speaking.

Race and gender should not play any part.

That would thin down the herd of loud empty tin cans making a bunch of noise.

I don’t think conservatives should tolerate the leftists who currently occupy the white house, congress, and the courts, and I think that conservatives should make that dislike loud and clear. If the leftists don’t like our message, too effing bad.

it’s ok... I don’t tolerate progressives either.

progressives and their big govt push are the polar opposite to anyone that supports freedom and liberty.

it’s just that simple.

insisting conservatives should be shut out just shows the weakness of their view points.

West calls himself a “progressive socialist” and has written that “Marxist thought is an indispensable tradition for freedom fighters.

These koranimals don't even hide their hatred anymore...

Who and why would any intelligent person become blind, become mute, deaf, and totally subservient to the liberal agenda?

LOOK at the nations of the World and see what/how oppressive governments are cruelly controlling their peoples, and there are many..

IE China enforcing the one child rule, and jailing any that has a child without permission. No freedoms, fear of their governments, confiscation and stealing of the monies depositor's have in the banks and other investments businesses, etc.

If no one has anything, they do not respect or care for what may be given to them.

Monstrous deeds are done to their peoples all around the world. Do not be lead into servitude willingly. Realize there are those that want Power and POWER corrupts completely.

God help America and the conservatives, forgive us our sins, we pray for mercy and forgiveness. in Jesus name, amen.

"What really bothered me is, the whole idea is that at a liberal arts college, we need to be hearing a diversity of opinion".

Proof that all they (liberals) want is a reinforcement of their own provincial views and that they do not truly believe in freedom of speech (and therefore the Constitution).

The loony Left seems to be the dominant culture at this point in time.

They run the government and control the media.

Where in the Constitution does it say, “Freedom of speech, except for those who oppose totalitarian government or killing babies”?

This is why we absolutely must reach these young know-nothings and deprogram them, otherwise we'll be shooting it out with them in less than 10 years. We've sat around and let pop culture and Big Education warp and destroy their minds, and our nation's future, while we've been focused solely on how our portfolios are doing this quarter.

We have a choice to make...we can simply gather as much ammo and food as possible and get ready to go to war with our own kids, or can get off our a**es -- right f***ing now -- and do something. What's it gonna be, FReepers?

Scouts out! Cavalry Ho!

Funny, at least some of those with conservative views are depended upon for financing these students and schools.

If there was no political opposition, then we would be able to realize the collectivist utopia we all dream of! Send those that we have demonized off to the re-education camps. I hear that they have nice showers at the train destinations....

History is repeating and many are deaf and dumb....mostly dumb.
