Is it Dangerous Don's right to be rude, crude, and hateful?

All I read was an article trying to excuse the language of racists, homophobes and xenophobes.

It's hateful, it's demeaning and anyone who needs to use racist, homophobic or xenophobic language to make their point should have their views ridiculed.

So who the fuck are you to decide what is and what isn't ideologically unsound? You remind me of one of those women knitting while the heads rolled into the basket in the French Revolution. Fuck me rigid I thought that HuffPo was the liberal's Bible?

Political correctness on college campuses today includes shutting down speaker or ideas that one finds disagreeable. I guess it's only angry white males that believe listening to multiple viewpoints is a good thing. Hopefully these 'AWM's' will learn that we shouldn't be exposed to idea's from those who don't think like ourselves.

Protesting speakers has been going on forever and a day, even before the term "political correctness" was created. Why shouldn't students protest, it doesn't mean they'll end up getting their way. Check out this list starting with the year 2000. https://www.thefire.org/list-of-campus-disinvitations-2000-2014/

If I were a student and the school wanted to invite Ann Coulter, Michelle Malkin or rick santorum, I'd do my best to shut them down. Who needs to give a forum to the hate those people spew?
 
Cawacky and his pals just want to make America great again, like it was back when it was considered OK to call people niggers, spics, kikes, queers, etc.

College is supposed to be this place of great learning and vigorous debate etc. etc. etc. Great learning and vigorous debate generally doesn't happen in environments where people are prevented from speaking because they hold an opposing viewpoint. That's anti-intellectualism at its finest that Obama was discussing. Obama even spoke about Condi Rice not being able to speak at a University because of protestors and how wrong that was.

My freshman year at USC Sister Souljah was a guest speaker. She was the black woman Bill Clinton called out for her hateful speech during his Presidential campaign in 1992. I wasn't out there protesting that she was hateful and shouldn't be on campus. I went and heard her speak. I sat in the audience as she ripped on white people and interracial dating and other issues. Because I listened to her and went to the event doesn't mean I agree with her. But I heard what she had to say and I got a hell of a lot more out of that than if I protested and didn't hear her speak at all.

Absolutely!


Under the first Amendment he, and anyone else has that right. I would fight against the government preventing him from that more than most.

Do I have a right to refuse to vote for him because of it?
YES....

Has anyone said its not his right?


It is PC of me to say I wont vote for someone who is crude in public?
Is it PC of me to refuse to vote for someone because I think he is hateful?
Is it PC of me to refuse to vote for someone because they treat people rudely?

If so, I am PC, and I think being PC is very American!

WOW what an insightful post.

Let me see if I can sum up

Trump had the right to say what he wants

And

You have the right to vote for who you want.

Did I get that right? No wonder you were asked to blog. Keep it up and you may be able to quit ambulance chasing
 
there is a line between protesting a speaker, and actively shutting them down..
there might be exceptions - like Kissinger for Vietnam or something -but even there if the speaker is invited -let them speak.

Take the protest outside ,no throwing pies in the face -no shouting them down, especially at university
where one should be exposed to ideas you don't agree with.

Should students have a say-so in who gets to speak? What if the majority says "no" to a speaker?

Schools and groups invite speakers for a number of reasons. It's generally not a Democratic process where all students get to vote. If the entrepreneur program wants to bring in an entrepreneur to speak does it need to be put to a school wide vote?

I guess I don't understand this mindset that a University shouldn't invite speakers because some students don't like them. This is turning the whole idea of what college stands for on its head. This is crazy.

Bringing in Guest Speakers or a Guest Panel

college is a million miles away in my rear view mirror, but I think some planning does include students.
Maybe not all the time or even most of the time - but it happens.

And when it doesn't...oh well. give due respect to the speaker as a guest if nothing else.

Students invite speakers as well. The College Democrat group or the College Republican group (on each particular campus) often invite speakers. This idea that if the school leans one way politically it can vote to allow no one from the other "side" to speak is asinine. I truly do not understand this mindset.

I agree with you that people with unpopular views should not be silenced and should be free to speak. I don't think Private collages should be required to let them speak, but I personally think they should let them speak.

SO, what is it about Dangerous Don and PC that people like so much?

Trump empowers bigots to call people niggers, spics, kikes, queers, wetbacks, sand niggers etc., just like they did back in the days when America was great.

You have to understand the mindset of KKKhristiefan. Let me sum it up

if the majority agrees with KKKhristiefan and they are shouting down a conservative KKKhristiefan disagrees with then the majority is wonderful and you oppose democracy if you disagree

However if the majority disagrees with KKKhristiefan and say protest a transvestite midget muslim from speaking then they are to be taken to court.

KKKhristiefan has no overriding principles other than liberals should always gets their way

You will never get it because you don't want to get it

You and your ilk actually believe that when people complain about political correctness it is "code" for them wanting to say the N word.


It has been explained to you multiple times on this thread and you refuse to see.

Enjoy your nominee. Maybe you and your ilk should have fought harder for Bernie
