The question raised was whether its appropriate to use violence to stop Coulter's speech at Berkeley. Your posts show the usual **** ton of crap involving resistance to slave owners, nazis and fascists (the actual kind, not the ones you often imagine), rather than a clear, cogent response -- sorry, but none of these comes close to Coulter talking.
But I guess you think your point is clear given that you more or less call everyone who disagrees with you a "fascist" and have previously noted that anyone who didn't vote for the hilldawg has perpetrated an act of "racism." Sorry to bust your bubble, but most people that disagree with you aren't fascist racists -- they are just people that disagree with you.
To put it plainly, he doesn't really need to cite anything. Your posts speak for themselves. As you have previously indicated, being for free speech does not mean being for free speech only if it is consistent with what you agree with -- and no one, as far as I can tell, is disagreeing with that in principle (I believe that you referred to opposition, as such, as fascism). His inference that you support suppression of free speech is completely reasonable given your posting history (especially in this thread). If he's wrong, you can correct him (i.e., he's wrong to assume that you are okay with the use of violence to stop Coulter from talking) -- and sorry, support for repression of speech from those that
YOU consider "fascists" does not allow you to suggest that you are the civil rights warrior that you like to pretend to be. Not everyone's a fascist, and you don't get to decide that a whole range of people that disagree with you don't have the right to free speech -- well, you can, but as indicated, expect to get called out (appropriately) as someone that is not the free speech supporter that you like to claim to be.
Again, if he's wrong you can offer a clarification -- but note that his questioning of your views largely stems for your usual ****ty posting which tries to compare apples and oranges without an actual meaningful response.
And to top it off, you suggest that the requested clarification (as noted above, quite reasonable given your posting history) should be "ban"-worthy. Sorry, but no. Try to post better in the future rather that trying to shut down those that disagree with you -- it's what free speech is all about. And this is "unchained." Take your bull**** ban requests to Alpha, where they seem to like your spambot ****ty posting.
Separately, I'd suggest you really need to get a grip, chicken little. The sky is not falling and you don't have to act like everything that happens which doesn't go the way you'd like requires immediate and (sometimes) radical reaction. I'm sure the echo chamber that these forums are will applaud your decision to go to Hawaii as bold and principled -- but seriously, things really aren't that bad. If you want to do it, more power to you, but seems like a completely irrational overreaction, which none of your "friends" on the forums are going to try to help bring you to understand (or otherwise help bring you down to earth about). But, hey, to each his own; enjoy Hawaii -- heard it's nice to live there.
