Because it works. Their beliefs can't win in the "marketplace of ideas"--logical analysis and thought always prove conservative ideas to be the best. So the Left brings out their big stick...Hate.
We've been brought up that Hate is a Bad Thing, right? So if they can successfully define somebody as a Hater--racist, homophobic, sexist, whatever--then that person must be a really bad person, and their ideas are automatically discounted. And with liberals controlling the majority of the publicity organs in the country--Hollyweird, the mass media, etc.--and the majority of the colleges, it's very easy for them to define whoever they want as a Hater.

What a hateful question! Are you trying to get this thread pulled?
Because whatever the Left says, the media will report as fact. IOW, it works!
DELIGHTFUL!!!!! I am so glad he finally got to speak after all the worry on the part of the staff-LOL!! What a bunch of silly geeks. YOU GO REV PETERSON-I believe you make God smile now and then! And I know you lighten my heart!!!!
I think that it is refreshing to see some young people standing up for what is truly an intelligent debate. Whether this young lady agrees with what Rev. Peterson says, she knows that it is intelligent to listen and decide for yourself.
The left can not make a rational argument. Almost every arguement is based on emotion, conjecture, or both! Since intelligent people make intelligent arguements, this specifically EXCLUDES the left. I wonder if they will be protesting for dummy's rights? (oh, sorry, that is what democRATs do everyday)
Anyway, FREEPER kudos to Cassie DeValle!
Have you heard some of these kids when they are asked questions?
I'm ready, go ahead and flame me.
Because REALITY is so hateful to them!
And they won't come up with an idea either. That is, not until one of their leftist professors tells them what to think.
I would give $100 to have seen that!!!
BUMP FOR B.O.N.D.!!

Blacks are not suffering due to racism," Peterson told WND, basically reiterating what he told the Gonzaga students, "but the lack of moral character you know, the destruction of the family. No program will fix that. We've got to rebuild the family.""Some students weren't sure why he was allowed to speak," said DeValle, "because they felt he was preaching a message of hate, and the theme of the week was against hate."
"Students have come to me with concerns," she said. "They didn't appreciate that he was against the NAACP and Jesse Jackson." But despite all the heat, there was little fire from students about pinning Peterson to anything specifically bigoted.
"They have yet to come up with a clear idea of what he said that is hateful," said DeValle.
Jesse Lee Peterson is not HATEFUL; he is TRUTHFUL.
Which is MUCH more dangerous - to the small minds of academia.
Calling the "Jedi Jesse" PING commander...
Dale Goodwin, public relations director for Gonzaga, wouldn't comment directly on the supposed spat between faculty and Stoltz but said Peterson's presence "forced people to think about their feelings and thoughts and created campus-wide discussion. I think it probably got people to thinking which was ultimately the purpose of the presentation."
