Bill Maher Slams Berkeley for Canceling Ann Coulter Speech: ‘Liberals’ Version of Book Burning’

[Mac1958]

Bravo, there it is. That's the beauty of open speech.

It's just a shame so many people can't see that. Or won't.

Guy, you can cheer the Nazis all day... but they are still Nazis.

funny, didn't see anything regarding Germany in that post? It would seem you are obsessed with them.

He's just a standard-issue lying, cowardly Regressive Leftist.

When in doubt, he just makes shit up.

[Juicin]

Just like Muslims progressive are hate filled people... fact

it's why they go together.

lol

The right is literally filled with evangelicals who would love a theocracy

What planet do people like you live on?

Go read a book you fucking idiot

Secularism is only supported by the left in this country.

tsk, tsk, got yourself all worked up. want to stay on topic? Hate of equal representation under the law?

All worked up? Off* topic?

Theocrats fall under the same political spectrum dumbass

Christian theocrats and Muslim theocrats are cut from the same cloth

Muslims, Jews, and Christians all want past the first amendment. They want funding for their schools and laws that allow them to brandish their cult in the public space.

You're not qualified to have this discussion if you think what I said was off topic. Again go read a little bit, clearly your education was lacking and your time could be better spent on a book.

You're not ready for a forum discussion on topics like this

Bernie Sanders RIPS Millennials Trying To Shut Up Ann Coulter

The 2016 presidential candidate shamed the millennials trying to shut up Coulter further, explaining that this was "a sign of intellectual weakness."

"To me, it’s a sign of intellectual weakness," he stated. "If you can’t ask Ann Coulter in a polite way questions which expose the weakness of her arguments, if all you can do is boo, or shut her down, or prevent her from coming, what does that tell the world?"

Holy Crap. Even SANDERS gets it?

 

[SYTFE]

Kind of amusing to see the right wing nuts whine and cry that Berkeley is stifling Coulter's right to "free speech," meanwhile they're cheering Donald on from the sidelines to stop all funding for NPR. Fucking useless hypocrites.

Yep. You may disagree with him politically, but he's a straight shooter for the most part.

He's a liberal, the Regressives are not.

Bill Maher is a clown and always will be. Freedom of speech doesn't apply to private places and institutions. People have a right to allow or deny someone the forum to speak.

A Christian university wouldn't have someone like Sam Harris speaking or someone like Bill Maher.

Berkeley is a liberal university. Ann Coulter has said lots of shady and bigoted things in the past. They have a right to deny her.

Majority of Berkeley students don't even want to see her.

But those that don't want to, don't have to.

And for those of who (a) voted for Hillary, and (b) actually DO believe in freedom of expression, we'll agree with Barack Obama and Bernie Sanders on this. The Regressives can be as cowardly as they want.

[Tilly]

He's just saying that because he banged Ann in the past.

And you are jealous he won't do you.

Strange comment. I've noticed you have a lot of homosexual fantasies. Might want to get that looked at.

Really? What's wrong with homosexuals?

Nothing at all. It's just that Sun Devil 92 doesn't seem to be aware that he is one. Just wanted to get him the help he needs.

It used to be that colleges were the perfect place for young people to be exposed to contrary, challenging, stimulating, controversial points of view.

But now, thanks to the Regressive Left, we have allowed that amazing growing process to be taken away from them.

What a terrible thing to do to our young people, all for cynical political gain. I don't know how you folks look in the mirror.
.

The point it is, Ann is a regressive. She is neither challenging or stimulating. Most people at Berkley do not like Ann Coulter and for good reason.

Are they supposed to be cool with a KKK leader coming to speak as well?

It is irrelevant whether 'most people at Berkley' 'like' her or not. The point is some people want her to speak and they want to hear her. Those that don't, don't have to.

Bingo. Plus, So what if a minority of people want to see her speak? Are we a tyranny of the majority now?

This thread has exposed how many people really DON'T support freedom of expression.

You said "freedom of expression."

Who's granting you this alleged "freedom", princess? Santa?

 

[Marion Morrison]

I don't like Mahr, but I give him credit for this one:

“Berkeley used to be the cradle of free speech, and now it’s just the cradle for f—ing babies,” Maher said. “I feel like this goes on all over the country on campuses — they invite somebody to speak that’s not exactly what liberals want to hear and they want to shut her down. I feel like this is the liberals’ version of book burning. And it’s got to stop.”

Bill Maher Slams Berkeley for Canceling Ann Coulter Speech: ‘Liberals’ Version of Book Burning’

Bill Maher, liberal man. I don't agree with everything he says, but at least he has some sense.

 

[boilermaker55]

What he said was, as much as one might not like the notion, right.
Let them expose themselves for who they are and the intelligent people will see their lies.

I totally agree with the sentiment, but Berkeley (or any other university) is under no constitutional obligation to support a platform to any speak, right or left.

The outrage here is a tad overwrought. Everyone knows what Berkeley is. It's like feigning surprise when the Duck Dynasty guy turns out to be a religious bigot. Weird, a white senior citizen from Louisiana is a bigot?

Outstanding.
