Heroic Minutemen Attacked at Columbia

Just as the world did nothing to stop jihad against Israel and then lived to reap that particular whirlind, just so--as Columbia and other universities did nothing to stop hostility and physical menace against pro-America and pro-Israel speakers, myself included--therefore, the politically correct savages have taken over more and more of the asylum....mainly what happens is that one does not get invited to universities and when and if one does it becomes an ordeal and a performance, not an ordinary teaching opportunity, no civilized exchange of ideas but part of a dreary gladiatorial combat.

I watched the video. This looks terrible. Perhaps the speakers have a lawsuit.

Phyllis Chesler

Another bloody nail in the coffin for America's univerities. Good American men and woman protecting our borders are assaulted at a "veritable" ivy league university that thought nothing of inviting  a mad, oppressive, America hating, Jewhating, despot like Ahmadinejad to speak. No security for the Minutemen? Though I am sure they would have protected the ahmadinnerjacket with their lives. Homeschooling is our future.

The BWOG blog was there was pictures, account and VIDEO here.

At Columbia, Students Attack Minuteman Founder

NY SUN Students stormed the stage at Columbia University's Roone auditorium yesterday, knocking over chairs and tables and attacking Jim Gilchrist, the founder of the Minutemen, a group that patrols the border between America and Mexico.

Mr. Gilchrist and Marvin Stewart, another member of his group, were in the process of giving a speech at the invitation of the Columbia College Republicans. They were escorted off the stage unharmed and exited the auditorium by a back door.

Having wreaked havoc onstage, the students unrolled a banner that read, in both Arabic and English, "No one is ever illegal." As security guards closed the curtains and began escorting people from the auditorium, the students jumped from the stage, pumping their fists, chanting victoriously, "Si se pudo, si se pudo," Spanish for "Yes we could!"

Pamela, lib hawks was in attendence. Here is her account;

I was in that riot at Columbia last night. I was there with NYICE and United American Committee. and wound up on the stage with some of our Patriots once the "students" swarmed on stage with their banners. We were guests of Jim Gilchrist (MinuteMan) and his party backstage. Dr. Corsi was there. Great guy. When Gilchrist was going to speak we all went in to the audience and sat with the Young Republicans. Also, great people. Really nice. We all were concerned that the University wouldn't supply enough security (even though it was requested)

These people OF COURSE were not students! Ugly; Nasty and very rude!! We all left after that (We had to. With escort). Sadly the speech never happened.

There are stills and reports. Something about people kicking people. Wonder if the MSN isn't interested in reporting how their side feels about Freedom Of Speech.What a night.

 Of course. Indeed, A spoke at Barnard in 2003 and it was to mainly all women of color and I had to be hustled out for my own safety once I began to tell the truth about Islam. I write about this and it is posted at my website www.phyllis-chesler.com The Barnard administration decided that I, not the audience, had “provoked” the near-riot because I had said “provocative” yet untrue things about Islam. The next time I spoke at Columbia it was at SIPA—and three other important Jewish voices were there to speak as well, invited by graduate Jewish students who could not longer bear the enormous and profound hostility. Notices for the event were torn down and practically no one came. No faculty, no administrators, no students. The next time was as part of Scholars for Peace in the Middle East and guess what? The place was packed, the security was Israeli-like and very serious, protestors marched outside, and during my own speech three Palestinian protestors interrupted in very insulting ways. It did not stop me, I kept speaking but again, it was not an educational kind of moment. My speech is posted at my website and you can see the protestors acting up while I speak.

The funny thing is that you don't see conservatives or generally sane people of any political/religious denomination trying to interfere with the constant stream of psychotic leftists speakers brought onto campuses around the nation everyday. Who knew that being civil would be our downfall?

Thanks for providing the videos, everyone should view them - you won't believe your eyes.

I just emailed the Columbia University president. Here's what I suggested he do:

Apologize to the College Republicans.
Condemn the students who rushed the stage.
Arrest or expel the students who rushed the stage.
Conduct Tolerance Training to staff, faculty, and students.
Resign.

Here's his email and phone number:

Tragically pathetic event. I am sure Mr. Chavez would be welcomed with tight security and warm hugs.

These people are very lost souls. It reminds me of C.S. Lewis~ The sweet poison of the false infinite.

This is sad, pathetic par for the educational industrial complex course. Once empty minds who are now minds filled with dark matter.

The Ivory Tower's intellectual sewer of collective thought: Off with your head if you say something we don't like.

I wouldn't worry too much. In the late 60's it was pro-Vietnam war speakers who were shouted down. In spite of this our generation turned out to be a pretty conservative bunch.

Columbia has a history of getting it wrong: check out what happened on campus last week: Columbia U. Intifada Rally

Columbia replied to my email.

It was WEAK, LAME, PATHETIC, TYPICAL.

(read for yourself)

Thank you for expressing your concern about events surrounding the
Columbia College Republicans' forum on October 4, 2006. The
University is currently investigating the matter and has issued a
statement, which is included below for your information.

Thank you again for contacting us.

Sincerely,

Columbia University Statement on Disruption of the Columbia College
Republicans' Minutemen Forum

October 5, 2006

Free Speech on Campus is Everyone's Right and Responsibility

The University deplores the disruption that took place last night at
the "Minutemen Forum" sponsored by the Columbia College Republicans
at Alfred Lerner Hall. The specific facts surrounding the incident
are under active investigation by the University and so it is
premature to make any official statement regarding facts that are
yet to be confirmed.

This much is a matter of core principle at Columbia: The freedom to
speak, to pursue ideas, and to hear and evaluate viewpoints totally
objectionable to our own is an essential value of this university
and, indeed, of our civil society. We defend the right to peaceful
protest and expression of opposing views. But it is never
acceptable for anyone to physically take to a stage and interrupt a
speaker.

Our regulations are intended to help event organizers, participants
and protestors maintain a safe environment for members of the
University community and their guests to engage in meaningful and
sometimes contentious debate across the spectrum of academic and
political issues. We will continue to review the events of last
evening to determine how that safe environment was violated and
take appropriate measures to ensure it does not happen again.

Come on, people. Can't you explain the actions of these "protesters" without resulting to partisan name calling? Guess not.

"social inequalities are often produced and perpetuated through systematic discrimination and justified by societal ideology of merit, social mobility and individual responsibility."
Columbia's Teachers College

Does anyone outside of academia really think that "individual responsibility" is a scourge upon our society?

Columbia University: Just kids exercising 1st amendment rights...
I don't get it--College liberals drowning out the same "free speech" that they demand for themselves. Calling the Minutemen racists and murderers. How many of the 1000 illegals that cross our borders every day are killed by Minutemen--or even legal Americans? How many legal Americans (and illegal aliens, here) are killed, raped, or robbed by illegals every year? Racist, why? Because we don't want to provide a market for Mexico's chief exports--their poor & criminal? Because it's not white Canadians who are streaming across our borders? How many Canadians are setting up meth labs here?
What other country prints everything in numerous languages to accommodate those who do not speak the common language? What other country allows non-citizens to come in, settle, and breed without legal authorization. Why do we have to grant citizenship to the offspring of anyone who is here illegally?
Silencing the right and intimidating other students is not a political statement for liberals. It is a way to keep others from hearing anything they don't agree with. If the liberal cause is so righteous, what are they so afraid of? Screaming and disrupting "free speech" on campus, or anywhere, is easier than presenting reasonable debate because they have no intellectual ammunition.
It's just a matter of time before somebody is hurt or killed in confrontations like these. If it's a conservative, there will be a small funeral back home. If it's a liberal it will be headline news for weeks--shades of Kent State! Hilary Clinton and Al Sharpton will burn rubber (and fossil fuel) to beat each other to the cameras and potential voters--publicly demanding change and apologies. The flag will fly at half staff and there will be weeks of mandatory "closure" discussion in every classroom. Counseling will be provided for the grieving anarchist contingent and panels annointed for thorough study and recommendation of what programs will need to be put in place to prevent future tragedies. Police will be blamed and crucified in the news and in the courts.
I wonder how many parents saw the video of their darling little peaceniks "standing up for what they believe in" and felt their chests swell with pride? If that had been my daughter at the end of the video I would have been mortified beyond belief. Is the filthy language she screams at the camera an example of the "higher learning" we pay through the nose for? Not on my dime, girl! A mouth like that doesn't deserve $6,000 worth of orthodontistry -- she'd be spitting teeth like Chiclets when I got to her.
(orthodontistry--probably not a real word but I'm too mad to worry about it)

"Come on, people. Can't you explain the actions of these "protesters" without resulting to partisan name calling? Guess not."

No we can't, Richard, because we don't act like them--or haven't you noticed? Please inturrpret for us.

    This ex-Klansman wasn't just a passive member of the nation's most notorious hate group. He wrote: "The Klan is needed today as never before and I am anxious to see its rebirth here in West Virginia" and "in every state in the Union." The ex-Klansman later filibustered the landmark 1964 Civil Rights Act - He also opposed the nominations of the Supreme Court's two black justices, liberal Thurgood Marshall and conservative Clarence Thomas. In fact, the ex-Klansman had the gall to accuse Justice Thomas of "injecting racism" into the Senate hearings. The ex-Klansman vowed never to fight "with a Negro by my side. Rather I should die a thousand times, and see Old Glory trampled in the dirt never to rise again, than to see this beloved land of ours become degraded by race mongrels, a throwback to the blackest specimen from the wilds."

  • Clinton_finger
    Bill Clinton

    Pardoning terrorists, discussing troop movements while being pleasured by an intern, running an obstruction-of-justice operation out of the Oval Office and suborning and committing perjury.........

    In acts of official perfidy that may be unparalleled in our nation’s history, Clinton accepted bribes from Red China in the form of illegal political contributions, and in exchange made policy decisions that undermined our national security.
    • The Red Chinese military (the so-called People’s Liberation Army, or PLA) is now able to deploy much more accurate nuclear-armed missiles pointed at the United States, in large measure because of policy decisions by President Clinton
    • President Clinton signed national security waivers to allow four U.S. commercial satellites to be launched in China, despite evidence that China was exporting nuclear and missile technology to Pakistan and Iran.

    "How did it come about that highly sensitive technical information was given to the Chinese? Why did the president ignore the national security experts who counseled against this deal? What damage has been done to our national security?" Goss asked.

    Clinton's terror failures are too numerous and damaging to recount here but Bill Clinton was the quintessential dhimmi. He allowed AL QAEDA CELLS - INCLUDING THE 9/11 CELL to OPERATE IN THE USA  ignored the World Trade Center bombings of '93, ignored the Cole, the embassy bombings and handed Israel over to the most barbaric terrorist of the late twentieth century, Yassar Arafat.

    and that's just for starters...........

    Clinton-era policies ignored Able Danger (Mohammed Atta et al)

    More Clinton Damage

    As if the botched 1994 Framework Agreementwith North Korea, whereby the Clinton administration provided Pyongyang with materials for building a nuclear reactor, wasn’t enough, allegations are now being made that the Clinton administration may have also provided Iran with blueprints to build a nuclear weapon.

    Plagiarist. He plagiarized somebody else's life story, claiming it as his own. He plagiarized a speech from British Labour Party leader Neil Kinnock. A barrage of revelations by the press contributed to Biden's withdrawal from a presidential race: a serious plagiarism incident involving Biden during his law school years; the senator's boastful exaggerations of his academic record at a New Hampshire campaign event; and the discovery of other quotations in Biden's speeches pilfered from past Democratic politicians.

  • The Carter White House during the disasters of the Sandinista takeover of Nicaragua, the energy crisis and stagflation, the Iranian revolution and hostage crisis, and the invasion of Afghanistan. Not backing the Shah of Iran in 1979, our close ally in the Middle East, resulted in the take over by Radical Islamic Fundamentalist Ayatollah Khomeini which brings us to where we are today with Iran.

    Woodward, Bernstein

    Watergate


  • Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein, two leftwing cub/pitbull reporters at the Wahington Post, intent on bringing down President Nixon.

    And they did. After being exposed for covering for his people (not guilty of the break in mind you), Nixon resigned. Imagine if Nixon had been a democrat. Would that ever have happened? The shenanigans of Democrat Presidents going back to JFK's stolen election are wildly known (don't even get me started on Bill).

    What made this left wing assault on America so damaging is the subsequent road America went down. Had it not been for Watergate, America- leery and distrusting of the GOP after Nixon's resignation - would never have elected a Democrat, an unknown peanut farmer to the office of the President. A man so out of his league, a man so incapable of the office of the President, that we are still suffering from his ineptitude. Imagine if Reagan had been President when the leader of one of our greatest allies in the Middle East, Iran, called upon the President for help. Imagine the course of history, if you will, if we had backed the Shah of Iran. Imagine what a different world this would be.

    According to many Iranians, Carter practically pushed out the Shah and gave Iran to the Ayatollah Khomeini (much the way he relinguished control of the Panama Canal).

  • Churchill_ward

    Ward Churchill


    In a treatise titled, "Some People Push Back," written after the attacks, Churchill asserted the 3,000 people killed at the World Trade Center worked for "the mighty engine of profit" but chose to ignore their role.
    "True enough, they were civilians of a sort," he wrote. "But innocent? Gimme a break."

    Churchill went on to describe the World Trade Center victims as "little Eichmanns," a reference to Adolph Eichmann, who carried out Hitler's plan to exterminate Europe's Jews during World War II.
