Tancredo cowardly speaking in all issues!

[vie2012ne]

Aren't universities supposed to be places where tolerance reigns and diversity is celebrated? Something important is lost when people can't control their impulses and listen to opposing views without reverting to Alinsky tactics.

TIMMY TAKA-REDO SHOULD GO TO STATEN ISLAND AND CALL ON ALL THE ITALIANS TO LEAVE,THEY WILL BEAT HIM UP QUICK

[LinuxDude]

Strikes me as hate speech.

Proof that Liberals only see in others the same faults they themselves excel at.

Oh, did I miss the many 'liberal' voices who condemned this person?

[hotwire]

Just some Left Wing extremists having a little fun. What's the harm?

[Tropiholic]

nobody has to listen to that ig*nor*ant evolution denier, they pay to attend.

To quote from McClatchyDC "... unauthorized immigrants ..."

That's mealy-mouth speak. They are ILLEGAL immigrants. They are not the same as the millions of outstanding US citizens who followed our nation's laws and went through the naturalization process. The "unauthorized" chose the easy, illegal route, cutting to the front of the line ahead of all of those responsible immigrants who respect our laws and want to become US citizens the right way.

[GeorgeP922]

Who told you those "millions" of people did it legitmatly.

My greek grandfather lived in this country for 10 years until he died.

I never heard Tancredo demanding he be deported? Why, because he was white.

[Liberal2]

hmmmm, do you support allowing 100 million poor Chinese and 100 million poor Indians enter the US? IF not, why? Ya see, if 10% of Mexico should be allowed to move here, why not Chinese and Indians?

Do you know the US is at the breakeven point on food production?

Do you even understand what the point is?

[4Q-N4Q2]

If you knew WTF you were talking about you might have heard that in 2006, the government reported that 1,266,264 were granted legal resident status. But I'm sure "that's greek to you", right?

Tarheel's

[Mintcondition]

Thanks Traheel's, first you bring us MICHAEL JORDAN, now this. YaY.

[destruct1]

ah..the tolerant leftists at it again, so peaceloving and thoughtful. i wonder if they will go on homeland securities memo as extremists­....anothe­r shining example of why i'm a republican.

[D-MI]

Yeah, you must be proud...

[destruct1]

extraordinarily so......to­o bad you can't claim the same.

[FightTheLies]

Lefties are tolerant. We give you reich-wing nuts your moment in the sun to protest. Check the document again. It talks about the right wing EXTREMISTS. All the right is doing by responding to this is telling everyone that they are extremists themselves and are hurt by its proclamation.

BTW I don't think you were whining when Bush sent the same kind of memo about leftist extreme groups did you? Didn't think so.

[destruct1]

Violence against your brother is never the answer libby....b­ut you lefties don't recognize that.

[LinuxDude]

That's because you don't think at all.

Care to share with us the date of the memo and a video showing the actions of the groups named?

Hmmmm?

[albanianmomforobama]

destruct 1...your user name represent your party well!
I am proud to be a tolerant leftist!!!­!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!­!

[destruct1]

have you actually seen the video of the protest? doubtful based on your response..­..but typical

[Republicrats]

Nice to see freedom of speech is alive and well at a supposed bastion of higher education, i guess it depends on whether or not the thought police approve of the message...

[GeorgeP922]

Although hate is not banned in our constitution, its a value that our founders and citizens today find abhorrent.

So don't be surpised when someone as devisive and hateful as Tancredo is met with this type of response. Try watching my video below.

Hopefully for the sake of the GOP, and the future of competitive 2 party politics, they will rid their party of men like this.

[Republicrats]

yes and maybe a third party would be even better!

[4Q-N4Q2]

"hate"??? WTF are you talking about? All Tancredo is asking for is that our immigration LAWS be followed. Don't you believe 13 million people crossing our soverign nation's borders ILLEGALLY is a problem?

[GeorgeP922]

For those that are new to the game here, please check out this classic from the 2007 CPAC.

Watch the whole thing, but Tom's extremism is on display from 2:20 on.

[Grannysue]

Tancredo fled, what Tom no Kahonnas???

[apoyo]

Cojones and yes, none.

[pfranklin400]

notice how the video is not attached to this entry. Imagine, just imagine if a Republican mob attacked a DEM speaker and did not allow him to speak.

Front page news for a week,

[Grunty1]

Reality doesn't fit your preceptions. Not surprising at all.

[Lemmy]

Standard operating procedure for libs - don't like the speaker, try and disrupt the speech.

[destruct1]

this is all about standard lib behavior..­...."if you don't think like we do you will not be aloud a platform". Very standard.

[pfranklin400]

those student protestors are left wing radicals and dangerous to this country.

Call Homeland Security!!!

[Grunty1]

Reality doesn't fit your preceptions. Not surprising at all.

[destruct1]

its PER-ceptio­n......LIB­........an­d that is NO surprise.

[proudem]

So it's OK for the right to protest with tea bag parties but not OK for outraged students to protest? Really? And you are calling for (violent) government stifeling of free speech? Maybe we can use the same tactics that are being used in Thailand. Your implications are un-patriotic, un-democratic and fascist in nature. Go suck a teabag!

[solarian]

yes call homeland they will be right over to your house and call secret service at the same time
