This Is What Democracy Looks Like

On 10/24/07, a group of Emory students and Atlanta activists confronted David Horowitz during his presentation at Emory University. This event created a deluge of comments/discussion on blogs, Youtube, etc., regarding both the issue of freedom of speech and Islamophobia.

Whether or not you agree with David Horowitz or with the EXTENT of the actions of the activists, you have the RIGHT to speak out, to agree/disagree, and to make your opinions known. The event and the commentary that followed it is a part of the democratic process. This is what democracy looks like.

I guess when you can't defeat somebody in the arena of ideas b/c of a weak position, the obvious thing to do is what these nimrods did and try and shut them down.

Another wonderful example of the intolerant left. At least that one college student gets it. I share his view in at least listening to both sides of arguments and not acting like spoiled rotten children like these leftists.

This what disrespect for differing opinions looks like.

Classless leftists who can't bear that someone disagrees with them.

They should have called the police and had those fascists thrown out on there BE-hinds. They got just what they wanted and that's a shame.

Actually no, I'm sorry, they'll just make conspiracy theories and say that Bush/Cheney did it.
