Minuteman Founder Jim Gilchrist Storms Off Debate

Minuteman Jim Gilchrist and student organizer Karina Garcia begin a debate that ends when Gilchrist abruptly pulls the plug after he was asked about his ties to the Neo-Nazi group National Alliance. The anti-immigration group the Minuteman Project announced yesterday that they are seeking to strip Columbia University of federal funding for what they say are violations of their civil rights.

Last week, student demonstrators disrupted a speech by Minuteman founder Jim Gilchrist who was invited to the school by the College Republicans. The demonstators got up on stage and unfurled banners saying "No human being is illegal" and "Say no to Racism!"

"GO AHEAD AND RUN AWAY"...QUE VIVA KARINA GARCIA

[GREGHIGGS1]

Shawna Forde was sentenced to death today. She will get the needle for killing a father, wounding a mother and killing a 9 y/o little girl. That's where this "White Supremacist" nonsense will get you. Her life was trash before. Now it will be ended with certainty. She brought it all on herself. Oh, and by the way; the people she shot were native born American citizens. Now she'll get Certain Justice!

He couldnt even answer w/out Ms. Garcia interrupting. Shame on Her.Shame on the protestors for storming the stage during His speech and shame on Columbia.How does Ms. Garcia know if Mr. Gilchrist isnt under counsel yet calls Him a coward?Well it was COWARDLY of the Protestors not to let the Man speak and let the students form Their own. opinions.

@1600hawk Can you tie the body, weapon, and murderer in the same place? If you can not, it is slander.

[1600hawk]

@kelvinjavier There was a body, weapons and "motive" there is all there. No rather slander for a proven anonymous "illegal" people minute men have killed.

[gabo10ify]

YOU GO GARCIA!!!!! 

[kelvinjavier]

When you accuse someone of murder, you better have a body, a weapon, a motive, and evidence, or it is slander.

[SacredSocietyAP]

This man, no matter what his agenda was had RESERVED the hall and deserved the right to make his speech. A bunch of retarded college kids who think it's their duty to protest everything on the planet interfered with that right and reservation. If they were really concerned they could have just reserved the hall and did the same thing on their on time.

So NO human being can commit a crime? I bet if broke in your home you would call me an illegal intruder.
