But the university didn't decline, Ann cancelled after it was apparent that the university was caving into the mob. Everyone expected the University to come back and say the usual, "everyone has a right to free speech and Ann Coulter was invited by yada yada yada, we will NOT cave in to threats of intimidation against free speech, etc etc.....", but no that didn't happen at all. Instead they issued a statement saying that in light of the mob violence they chose safety instead of free speech. In the end they got neither.
"Instead they issued a statement saying that in light of the mob violence they chose safety instead of free speech" I'd consider that a declination, but I'm not going to die on that hill.
Even assuming they didn't formally decline, I don't honestly see the big moral difference - they failed to take a stand. Sin of omission rather than commission, as it were.
The funniest people right now are the right and the alt-right on youtube trolling and making SJWs look like the idiots they really are. It's the most hilarious thing I've seen in a long time. Stuff is comedy gold. Please tell me you laughed at their take on Bill Nye's humbly titled show, "Bill Nye Saves the World", and that cringy Sex Junk rap. LOL.

Call it what you will, the mob still rioted. They received neither free speech nor safety. They didn't stand up to the people that were prohibiting free speech. What kind of campus does that? Especially the bastion of free speech they claimed to be in the past?
Yes, I get that the left dictates taste but c'mon, some of that stuff doesn't elicit a chuckle from you? You actually found the Sex Junk rap to have been well done? Was that tasteful? Then again, the left touts Amy Schumer so I can't say taste goes both ways.
Trump is a victim of racist attacks? I am pretty sure you don't mean that.
Yes. What do you think they mean when they go on about his connections to the Aryan brotherhood, him being Hitler, etc? He has been attacked in every form.

Stay on point. I said MAINSTREAM attacks, Trump has been approved by all means of attacks by all of mainstream at every corner. Obama was off limits, was treated with kid gloves and a heck of a lot more respect than Trump is.
That was the point, you are again spinning and showing your narrative focus and nature here.

Trump made the claims, but I wasn't talking about that now was I? Again... STAY ON POINT!!! This is about MAINSTREAM treating Trump and how they treated Obama, how it is ok for all of the mainstream news and entertainment to go full on attacking with massive disrespect, hate and anger and this DID NOT HAPPEN in MAINSTREAM with Obama.
THAT IS THE DAMN POINT!!! STOP SPINNING!

Really? Yeah... they suck at going into the childish ranting vulgar rants of a unintelligent idiot type of jokes that are lobbed at Trump daily.
You are so biased, so far partisan in this issue that there is no reason, no discussion, no ability to even achieve understanding with you.
This is why eventually, there will end up being a war in the US. You people think you are so right on every point, and so justified in complete hypocrisy, that you will end up killing off the conservatives and proclaiming yourself just in the process. Then, this isn't a surprise, Marx said you had to do this eventually.
He reminds me of the demise of SNL when it went full on hard malicious politically partisan and the jokes stopped being funny and became boring little inside joke rants among the progressives.
It also reminds me of how David Letterman's show went to crap as well. He got so vicious and petty during the Bush years that even when Obama was in Office, he just couldn't let go and had to rant constantly about conservatives.

The left loves vulgar to the extreme. They think constant adult jokes about sex in every detail is funny. /shrug

Not sure that's a racist attack, but hey...

They couldn't have possibly found that Sex Junk rap on Bill Nye's show in good taste, otherwise they forfeit their right to dictate what is good taste.
