@johnaryder If this were a liberal speaker and conservatives were disrupting it, would that be free speech?

Students should wait for the speaker, liberal, conservative, or moderate, to finish and then ask tough questions at the end when the opportunity arrives.

Try exercising your free speech rights while watching a movie at a theater or attending a Broadway show. I guarantee your fellow patrongs won't be impressed and will tell you shut up or have the ushers eject you.

I didn't say it wasn't. It certainly was rude. But to say it's a violation of the first amendment is ridiculous.

All politics aside, isn't it considered rude to interrupt a public speaker who has come to your school to give a speech?

At my high school we would never dream of interrupting a guest speaker!

What Campus Police, I saw a couple of stooges in police uniform?!? It is a shame that these mentally challenged spoiled rotten anarchists are allowed to run what USED to be an institute of higher learning. U of Mass has lost it's creditiablity.

The students have the first amendment right to interrupt him. Why does Don Feder get to practice his first amendment rights but college students don't?

I will never understand the logic of conservatives.

[johnaryder]

It was on hate CRIMES, not hate speech. They aren't the same. Like, at all.

By definition, only the government can violate your right to free speech. The 1st Amendment protects citizens from the GOVERNMENT, not from college students. The asshat who labels this an a First Amendment violation clearly needs to revisit the Constitution. Private citizens have the right to be as rude as they like.

i am an alumna of UMASS Boston and i have to say, i am embarrased by the treatment of Don Feder. no matter what opinion someone may hold of someone else for their political ideology, doesn't everyone have the right to free speech, esp if they were invited to speak. if those kids were the ones giving the speech, wouldn't they want to be able to make their speech without people turning their chairs around and shouting at the lecturer ? like come on kids, grow the hell up.

Goddamn it I seriously hate college students. They are full of themselves but yet completely blind to how retarded they are. How could they not see the sweet, delicious irony of shouting down a seminar on hate speech?

I am now ashamed to answer truthfully when asked if I graduated from college...

Bush's 3rd Term that we were all WARNED ABOUT by the Muddy Stream Media and The Erosionist Party is upon us. Bush's 3rd Term on STEROIDS.

Quadrupled Deficits, Stock Crisis, More Crooks in Gov't, Unployment Rising, WARMONGERING, LIES LIES LIES.

Are we better off now than we were 2 yrs ago when the Erosionist Party took a Majority?

Obanomics = Gush Up Poverty = Equal Poverty for All.
