d.i. simms:

"The right to be heard" as you put it, should not include the threat of physical violence, verbal abuse (gutter language),damage to property such as smashing in a glass door (paid for by tax-payers), setting off afire alarm andphysically preventig other students from entering the lecture hall (fascist bullying). Is this what you call the "right to be heard"? Common sense would tell you this is nothing but intimidation and Nazi-Communist (no difference in terms) goon tactics.

Anon:

I somewhat agree. But the fact that these student goonsphysically threatened her, called her abusive names, ripped her publishedbooks apart, set off a fire alarm, andsmashed a glass door panel(payed for by we tax-payers),and blocked people from attending her speechbefore the school officials didisconducive to violent behaviour which in part led to the cancellation of her speech. Hardly a peaceful democratic protest.

Now you're finally getting it.

Islamofascists have always hated the west.I'd rather know what people are thinking whether its positive or negative. By trying to shut someone up does not give youor me the opportunity do make a decision as to whether we agree or disagree and we can respond in kind with our ownthoughts and opinions.

No one has the right not to be offended. As a Catholic I'm offended nearlyonce a month by the nonsense some individuals say about Christianity. I'm secure enough to deal with. I dont' need some fascist kangaroo court such as the so-called Human rights Commissions to get revenge.

God Bless

As I said, Tom. Everbody has a right to free speech and thought, no matter how offensive. that's what these Maoists and Trotskyites don't understand.

So glad to read your comments. Apparently you did not read the first sentence of my statement. You seem to have closed your mind to what you want to hear. What is intolerant about everbody's right to free speech and thought no matter how offensive? What are you afraid of? Are you so insecure that you can't fight back with your own ideas and opinions without censoring anyone with whom you disagree. Apparently Goebbels is taught in left-wing universities as well. Who Knew? And no, I don't particualrly subscribe to everything that comes ou of Coulter's mouth. Unlike you and your socialst friends, I'm not afraid of her. But thanks for asking.

Ken

I'm sorry. My statement above should read the left-wing University of Ottawa. Kudos to the University of Calagary for allowing free speech to take place. You don.r shut somebody up because you disiagree with ther view. You challenge with better views or ideas. That's the intelligent and democratic way. Not the fascist or communist way as practised on most Canadian campuses to-day, unfortunately..

I'm sure she'd give Galloway a run for his money. At least it would be more equal than that bunch of fascist goons physically threatening and verbaly abusing Coulter at the left-wing dominated University of Alberta. Fascism, communism- it's the same in that it's the few governing the many by terror and intimidation.

Everyone should have the right to free speech and if deemed offensive to be challenged with other thoughts and ideas.
That's the intelligent and democratic way. It's nice to the University of Calgary have the good sense and intelligence to have Ann Coulter speak whether one agrees with her views or not. Unlike the left-wing student goons and faculty at the University of Ottawa . This also reminfds me of that cesspool of left-wiing radicalism and hate - York University in Toronto. Students are not taught how to think but what to think in these left-wing dominatred univeristies. There is more intolerance and hate coming from these leftists and faculty than whatever comes from Anne Coulter's mouth.
