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.

  • Did anyone else think that fat old liberal hag should've acted her age, instead of acting like a child?

  • 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.

  • silence dissent..this what the left has to offer

  • You live in the constitutional republic, not a democracy. And second of all I never heard of a democracy shouting down people and preventing them from making their point. Leftist who claim this is what democracy looks like need to learn to read a history book. Remember, you read from left to right and no, reading the summary is not the same as reading a book. Good luck! :D

  • Americans should be ashamed of their stupid two party system. All it promotes is automatic denial of the views of the opposite side. Create more parties and get rid of fucking age old and non-sensical rep vs dem.

  • RACIST, SEXIST, ANTI-GAY! THIS IS HOW WE MAKE OUR CASE!

    RACIST, SEXIST, ANTI-GAY! THIS IS ALL WE HAVE TO SAY!

  • @MrDevilBunny conservatives interrupting classes that they pay for to voice concerns, versus leftists heckling the speaker to prevent his speech. That is EXACTLY the same.

  • @nnjada

    Naaazzziiiiii! 

  • Thank you David for your wisdom and your support of the values of our civilasation

  • @Keruaran that's more about being polite. free speech is a legal right, and a constitutional issue. horrowitz opposes rules that are used to say, prevent a creationist from obstructing the teachings of an evolutionary biologist. he wants students to able to talk anytime, anywhere. he is experiencing what it would be like teaching in a hostile classroom, the deck stacked against you. and as far as politeness, all i can say is once again, he was (and seemingly, continues to be) beyond rude.

  • @MrDevilBunny Free speech? Give me a break. Free speech is when you are allowed to speak and the other guy is allowed to speak as well without being drowned out by a bunch of your friends acting like monkeys. Get it?

  • @nnjada A different point of view about the holocaust? What was that you were saying about "no real knowledge?"
