    The heckler’s veto of Coulter's Berkeley speech is a loss for the 1st Amendment. We must protect speech on campus, even when hateful.

        What happens when, say, DT defines protests against HIM as "hate speech"? Do you seriously think he wouldn't try to do exactly that?

        Exactly right... I find Berkley full of hate speech, so who gets to make the ruling on which of us if right?

        People have the right to oppose political organizations visiting their homes when they are literally there to help diminish or eliminate it.

        I'm sure you stand by the maxim that violence has no place in politics, which is technically true, I'll grant that.

        But you must know (or not, maybe you're poor scholars of history or maybe myopic by ideology): Violence occurs where political speech fails.

        What you do not understand is that white supremacists do not engage in good faith, they are impervious to arguments against their ideology.

        The University is public space supported by public money so yeah she does have a right to speak there.

        By that logic a taxpayer whose $$ supports the university and didn't want to hear her speak should be able to prevent that.

        No, the 1A doesn't work that way. If you don't want to hear the speech you walk away.

        Once again. NO LAW is preventing her from SPEAKING, publishing, etc. That is what the First Amendment says.

        When a judge orders suppression of her books, or has her arrested and jailed for what she says, you can cry 1 Amendment
