Professors Face Off With College Republicans

[William Joyce]

Former call latter racist, naturally.

Check out the prof who demands that the Republican stop filiming. So much for liberal free speech, eh?

Dan Ryder, a College Republicans executive, plans to file a complaint against John Streamas for allegedly calling Ryder a “white s--tbag.”

Streamas, assistant professor of comparative ethnic studies, admits to using the phrase, but said he wasn’t directing it at any one student.

Free speech is only protected by liberals when liberals speak.

That smirk by the prof asking for the students ID should have gotten him a bloody nose. If he had asked for mine and told me to stop filming I would have told him to show me where in the student handbook where he has the right to tell me to do that.

 

[red states rule]

He is a Ethics Studies Professor. His classes are simple : white conservatives are racist trash

He's the one in the wrong. Bullying a student whose beliefs you disagree with using your professor status is WRONG. But nothing will happen to this a-hole. After all, he's going after a white Republican. He'll be given a civil rights award by the dean!

Would have liked to have heard the entire conversation. The professor was definitely using the ID card thing as a power play. But, it wasn't clear to me whether or not the kids' free speech was being stifled.

Come on folks, the only problem with this situation is the racist remark made by the professor.

No. HE was clearly using his status as a professor to intimidate when he realized he was an idiotic loser.

A person has a right to privacy, believe it or not! He didn't want to be on camera and he knew that the student didn't have a permit to film.

If ya don't like the rules then don't play the game.

But this was only his concern after he realized he looked like a fool.

 

[rtwngAvngr]

And he did use his status to intimidate.

LOLOLOLOL...IDIOT..How long did this Prof. MORON stand there before he saw a fucking video camera in his face? And since when do you need a permit to film in public?

Er, "rules," Chad? Somehow I doubt this is how you'd react to your hero Michael Moore getting in trouble. I love how liberals get all sniffy and uptight about "rules" when the "rules" benefit THEM... but when conservatives insist on rules, we're just boring, repressive, unoriginal fascists.

rgwngAvngr is right... it was only AFTER he started looking like an idiot that he decided to un-film himself. What a goddamn BABY. Liberal professors in a situation like that are like cops without guns: they're so used to being GOD all the time, they go to pieces when they're actually challenged.

I'm not defending professors, liberals, or anything like that. I think the guy is an idiot for making that comment about whites. BUT he was able to take advantage of the law to stop from making himself look like an idiot on camera.

Don't you need permission to videotape a person?

Honestly here guys, would ya'll be acting out like this if it were a liberal cameraman while a neocon makes an ass of himself? I doubt it.

 

[Mr. P]

Don't you need permission to videotape a person?

....

No...

 

[CockySOB]

Don't you need permission to videotape a person?

Not in a public place, at least not to my knowledge....

Since when is it against the "rules" to film a liberal bellowing their hate filled and Blame America First, liberalism in public?

Conservatives are always the first to toss their own overboard if they act like fools. It is you liberals who insist on defending your indefensible.

 

[rtwngAvngr]

CC. conservatives welcome open public debate, because we're usually right.
Liberals stifle it, because after their simplistic slogans and personal attacks, they got nothing.
