On the radar/Off the radar

Charles Johnson has been making a lot about an incident at Columbia University this week, where an anti-immigration group meeting was stormed by protesters. Charles labels it an attempt to 'shut down free speech' - fair enough, though the logic by which anti-racist groups suddenly become "facists" still eludes us.

However another incident recently got absolutely no mention on LGF, even though it's a far more clear-cut instance of 'shutting down free speech'. Wonder why...

Chuckles doesn't get it, as usual. The protestors at CU got up on the stage and unfurled a banner. Gilchrist's thugs responded in the only manner they're capable of when confronted with a different idea: physical force. Now Gilchrist wants to have CU's federal funding pulled, ostensibly because of the incident but more likely because he wants to teach those uppity lefties a lesson: free speech is only for people with power and money.
