-It wasn't Harvard Students
-It wasn't the subject of the debate
-It was one student throwing out a bizarre idea
(and yes I know, RWNJs believe in the 2nd Amendment but not the First)
-The subject of the debate was renewable energy
The OP should correct his thread title so no one else wastes their time like I did!
Rightwingers bought this garbage hook line and sinker.

All partisans are easily fooled as long as you reinforce what they want to hear which is generally that the other party is bad and wrong and their party is good and right.
At C-D we only hijack threads ... these scumbags hijacked the conference. But in itself, that begs the question ... Why weren't they thrown out? Because they are black? Because they are inciting? And isn't Harvard a place that educates the legal elite?
Just to be clear, I am not excusing sick racist behavior.
I did comment that it is protected by the 1st Amendment.
Lots of protected speech is both sick and racist.
My complaint was how the OP totally misrepresented the incident.
That confuses them. It's obvious from many of the responses that some didn't get past the title of the thread. And for some that did, they didn't get past the byline of the article. When something sounds completely outrageous it's a good idea to actually read the story. And after reading, read links or do your own search about the subject. These types of in your face (holy cow! How can this be??) stories, whether presented from the left or the right, are usually meant to grab your attention and get a visceral reaction.

Yes! These stories, whether from left or right, are presented in a way to get a reaction. And it worked!
There was some editing done to the video. Many times statements are taken out of context so I will refrain from posting or developing an emotional opinion.
If there were editing, you would have micro-interruptions of the fool who did most of the talking.
Didn't happen.
