How is Trump a bully???

The Leftists have made it impossible for Ann Coulter (a former h.s. XC runner in case that matters) to giver her speech on the UC Berkeley campus due to non assurance of safety. She would literally have to take her own life in her hands to give a speech, and there are just too many weirdos intent on doing her harm. A sad day in America...the First Amendment is not honored in the birth place of the so called "Free Speech movement".
Is there any more irony possible? Can Leftist malcontents be ANY MORE hypocritical??
One there are no "Leftist" in this country, atleast not organized. However you do have "Liberal Coastal Elites" or "Party Democrats" that attend so-called "liberal" schools. They are not left, nor are they particularly liberal, not where it matters atleast. They have a very fragile soap box from which they like to cry from.... Really zero substance from this group that likes to bitch about gay rights, womens rights.... but then turn around and use Ubber which is an evil institution that is destroying working people's jobs. They also don't give a shit that their dear leader Obama was bombing 7 different countries just like Bush did. These type of people are concerned with all the wrong things.... like stopping conservatives from speaking... instead of having a counter speaker speak at the same time or a different day. They are lazy & superficial.
This is coming from me, which I consider my self to be very far left, socialist / anarchist type. I think air travel, the internet & electricity should all be Nationalized.
It is NO victory and is very dangerous to stop someone from speaking, I completely disagree with it.... However with that said the other side of the coin is these people also have a right to protest her from coming (this is free speech too). A lot of these zero substance, conservative, social media loving, book-pedaling right wing talkers love to pick places like Berkely because it generates them publicity. They don't go speak at Texas A&M.... or University of Alabama do they? No, because they don't care about grass roots engagement, they only care about stirring shit up and making $$$, now Ann Coulter will be on morning talks shows and get a chance to peddle her latest book!
How come the Libs/Dems don't have any broads as hot as Ann Coulter?
Great post!
I'm embarrassed to live in California.

It's the right wing Nazis who play martyr and instigate violence. They are coming to Berkeley tomorrow, regardless.: http://www.cscmediagroupus.com/aaron-lewis/patriots-planning-wrol-427-berkeley

Maybe leftists shouldn't encourage each other to "punch nazis". Either way this will be fun to watch.
Berkeley is full of ANTI SEMITIC Jewish-American students who support Hamas and not Israel.

The reason the Ann Coulter speech is such a big problem is because there are alt-right groups that are showing up to try to engage in street battles with Antifa protesters. 4chan has been filled with chats by alt-right groups making plans to bring people to Berkeley to pick fights.
https://www.splcenter.org/hatewatch/2017/04/25/new-alt-right-%E2%80%9Cfight-club%E2%80%9D-ready-street-violenceAnd this is not a question of the content of Coulter's speech or Milo's, it is about the character of their speech. Phyllis Schlafly and Milton Friedman used to tour college campuses and have debates with very left leaning students. Schlafly was probably politically to the right of Milo. She was very anti-LGBT rights and anti-feminism. But she packed auditoriums and never had any problems with violent protests. That is because even though I find her views to be as wrong as you can get, she was very intelligent and a very good orator. Friedman and Schlafly's college events were thick with substance and very much in line with the level of rhetoric you would expect for an advance political science lecture.
Milo and Coulter are really just at best media figures. They purposefully push boundaries in their attacks in order to provoke a backlash. They then claim to be a victim of PC run amok to further the amount of media exposure they get. So, Ann Coulter calls out 911 windows and says that she has never seen anyone enjoy their husbands deaths so much (actual quote) and then for the next few weeks she is all over the news. Milo compares black lives matter to the KKK and calls them a domestic hate group. He then gets all over the news, boosting his brand.
So, the problem with Milo and Coulter isn't that they are too conservative. The problem is that they say objectively hateful things about the people who they disagree with. When confronted, they play victim and blame PC culture.
If you are a student at a college, your choice is to either let Coulter and Milo spread their very hateful message at your school and have that kind of rhetoric become the new normal or you can try to shut them down and protect your school from being complicit in elevating hate speech to an accepted means of public discourse.
Not everyone may feel this way, but that's how it comes across to me as well.
It's time for the right to organize and strike back at the left's brown shirts who try to shut down political discourse with violence.
The right must also respond to violence condoning leftist SJWs like Precious Roy above "by rearranging their faces and snapping their bones in order to change their minds". After all that's just what leftist pseudo-intellectuals advocate:

Really, who wants to go to Berkeley anyway? There are tens of thousands of things to do in this world that are much better.
"Free speech"??
Coulter gets $20 thousand for a speech. How is that "free"?
Big deal. It's not UCLA where the Internet was born.
I had a on nighter with Ann.

Compared to a $450,000 price tag to go bloviate on Wall Street, I'd say her fee was a bargain.
