Protesters at David Horowitz's speech at UT Austin

We had about 25 protesters show up to protest David Horowitz when he spoke at UT Austin. There was a lot of chanting and yelling. One of the most popular phrases was "FACT CHECK!" (Which seemed to be yelled even when his facts were correct, although I didn't have time to look up every time they yelled it.)

Another popular chant was "Free Speech." I think there is something Orwellian about yelling "Free speech" in order to drown out opposing viewpoints.

I'm not a hippy, liberal, fruity, wiccan, tree hugging, queer, jungle loving, trailer trash, leftist, and socialist shrimp. NOR a medieval, stone age, unprogressive, and backward republican that is a fake Christian, kisses the butts of the wealthy, and doesn't care about ordinary citizens. If there were more neutral people like me that DO NOT support either of the TWO MOST ABSURD POLITICAL PARTIES in the U.S that keep Americans divided, then things would get better!

@NaBjE11 Also protesting is fine if done in a peaceful manner. But crashing somebodies event is the exact opposite of free speech, if you dont like what somebody said, you go there and not let him speak??? How is that free speech? I know you have no clue what conservative speakers go through when they try to exercise their right to free speech, NOT HATE TALK, free speech

@NaBjE11 This guy gets abused everywhere he goes, by childish protesters, people that are very confused, crazy people, you name it, this guy has talked to tons of these type of people. He isnt hateful at all, he hates evil radical Islamist people that are killing in the name of Allah. Killing innocent people throughout the world, a religion that is being abused by the bad apples within the religion. And by the way, these are speeches that other people attend and want to hear, NOT HATE SPEECH

@NaBjE11 I could care less about your opinion, if you live in Denmark then you have a lot more problems then me, get a life loser------INSHALLAH------and your opinion is crap, saying stupid man, or other five words sentences to describe your opinion isnt much of a opinion---BOY! Write back when your mind is equal to at least a 13 year old.  "whos talking about Denmark, dont like my opinion" What a puss! That means coward in my country

[NaBjE11]

[saltytsp]

@NaBjE11 Like I said dip---- I dont care about your spelling, English, whatever. What I care about is that youre a childish name calling baby that cant talk like a adult. All your comments on your board are the comments of a little kid. Did I say America is the only place with rights, NO! GOOFBALL, theres a name for you. Denmark huh, let me guess, are you muslim also, your probably one of those radical Islamist in Denmark that will ruin that country from the inside, WHO ARE YOU- I WONDER
