The Left was out in force at Emory University in Atlanta on Wednesday night.
The "enraged" billboards were planted in White Hall outside the auditorium where David Horowitz was planning on speaking.
But the real rage was inside the auditorium.
It was amazing to watch. The crowd of Leftists, and Muslims and Students were determined not to let David Horowitz speak.
Afterwards, many, many of the students said they were ashamed of the way the mob acted. But, they certainly didn't try to stop it.
The Emory University Republicans wrote this about the blowout at FrontPage Mag:
"I've spoken at Emory University several times and I've never seen it this bad," said Horowitz responding to the crowd as they shouted and jeered. "This is exactly what the fascists did in Germany in the 1930s." Protesters began their efforts as soon as Horowitz was introduced with boos and chants of "Heil Hitler." Despite the people who stood with their backs to Horowitz and the shouting of obscenities and other remarks from audience members, Horowitz attempted to deliver his speech that covered academic freedom and radical Islam. The loud chants, sign-waving, and disruptive gestures continued to escalate from audience members until the atmosphere was so chaotic that even the police present were unable to subdue the crowd. Horowitz was led off stage and left the campus under tight security, and the event came to an abrupt end. "This is a poor reflection on Emory, and we are embarrassed by the actions so many in the campus community," said Emory College Republicans Chairman Ben Clark." The Emory administration must make it clear that they do not condone the protesters' behavior, but that they respect Horowitz's right to speak on campus and will work to ensure that this does not happen again."What started with a few people standing up with their backs to David Horowitz soon became nearly half the room.
Many in the audience left the event disappointed. "Even the students who did not agree with David Horowitz did not get a chance to speak their minds because of the protesters' disruptive actions," said Emory Professor Mark Bauerlein. "No one was able to listen to the lecture or to speak themselves – pro or con – everyone was shut down."
This is Emory University.
This is how Emory treats its campus guests.
The Left's favorite chant- "Racist, Sexist, Antigay, David Horowitz go away!"
Is David Horowitz antigay? Is that why he asked Tammy Bruce to speak at Pepperdine?
The Leftists and Muslims both joined to harass David Horowitz. Both Leftists and Muslims were standing with their backs to Horowitz until the talk was cancelled.
This is Emory University.

ReplyDeleteHave You Hugged an Islamo-Facist Today
excerpts:
[Elected Democrats at least make empty rhetorical gestures about opposing Islamic fascism. Of course, amidst their nonspecific condemnations of Islamic terrorism, they make very specific demands that we genuflect before Islam and perform exotic fetishes on the fascists.
Liberals believe in burning the American flag, urinating on crucifixes, and passing out birth control pills to 11-year-olds without telling their parents -- but God forbid an infidel touch a Quran at Guantanamo.
College campuses across the nation are installing foot baths to accommodate Muslims' daily bathing ritual, while surgically removing the Ten Commandments from every public space in America.]
adding this to the ever-growing
"first they came for list".. :(
[First they came for Rush Limbaugh, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't Rush Limbaugh;
And then they came for Ann Coulter, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't Ann Coulter;
And then they came for David Horowitz, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't David Horowitz;
And then ... they came for me ... And by that time there was no one left to speak up.]
thanks Ann..

That's the noisy way to stop free speech. Hate speech laws are a quieter way to stop free speech.
ReplyDeleteSigh.

That sign is ironic. You know, the one at the top with the mangled Iraqis. What the idiots who made the sign didn't seem to get is that it is the ISLAMIC APOSTATE TERRORISTS who did that to their own people. Jerks.
ReplyDeleteThey should be outraged that terrorists are doing this to innocent civilians and support the war on terror 100%. They should also start supporting the numerous Muslim groups that are stepping up to the plate and denoucning the terrorism in the name of religion.
I might also add that while libs may say these casualties, even if they ARE caused by terrorists who say they are Muslim, would not be occuring except that we went to Iraq and drew them there.
ReplyDeleteIraq's biggest terrorist was Saddam Hussein and those pictures don't do justice to the sorts of torture he performed on his people.
When my husband entered Baghdad with the 82nd ABN in April or May of 2003, there were children's prisons discovered there in which 5-12 year olds had been imprisoned, some for years. Some were tortured.
So if these hippie kids want to make a point with their cute little posters, they might want to get their facts straight and rethink their point.
Amy~ in order to rethink, they must first be Able to think.
