It's becoming constant, everywhere. When you hear Howard Dean's comments about Coulter's speech not being protected by the First Amendment, you realize we dodged a pretty big bullet there.

These people are not for freedom "of" speech, they are for freedom "from" speech. It's beyond ugly, and the absolute definition of fascism.

Interesting that Elizabeth Warren (D-Little Big Horn) and Bernie Sanders, and even Bill Maher, are getting it right. They deserve credit for being on the right side, and they deserve even more credit for having the courage to disagree with their own party.

let people say what they want as long as they are not making threats..

most of the time they will make themselves look like the A holes most know they are if their message is that unpalatable ...

These actions by a vocal minority only give speakers attention they love and need. to appear relevant in todays world

they don't just protest controversial jerks like Ann coulter. Antonin sScalia and condaleeza rice have had speaking invitations get revoked due to protests. There is a sizeable portion of the left who doesn't want to let anyone speak who disagrees with them
