    All because Berkeley decided to create a "safe space" for their students and cancel his event.

    I saw him interviewed on Tucker Carlson's show last night. Not what I expected from a right wing, white supremicist, Nazi loon. Gay, from Europe with black boyfriends.

      For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.

      Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."

        Yea, where is the outrage from the LGBT community? They should get a petition going to kick Cal. out of the PAC12.

            So I hear that the Ute Basketball team met before the game last night and were advised to tread carefully at Cal, because they represent a conservative state, and may face danger from fans.

              Whew! That was something.
              Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

                BTW, is she still a professor?

                  Hey, the tea party acted the same way at their protests (heard that on either CNN or FOX). Do you remember how many libs they kept from speaking? How many cops they cursed at? How many citizens they kept from using the transportation system?

                  Remember the media warned us these types of protests and civil disobedience would happen when HRC got elected.

                    Wow, one of my new favorite rants. There are some great lines here.

                    "I am a professor!"

                    "This is hate. These are fucking assholes!"

                    "God-fucking-dammit!"

                      The cops can't do it and I realize I am a old, crotchety, white, privileged guy, but I would have loved to hear a cop say, "well whoopty f'en do, bitch."

                          I also love the guy who says "She's a professor" to egg her on and then she repeats the line a couple more times.

                              It is really too bad because they couldn't have represented more than 5% of those I have known through the years, but they give a horrible name.

                              Same in your field. I am sure this twit represents a very small percentage of your peers.

                                Excellent. That is why I don't attend protests. Crotchety and no self control.
