Don't forget what happens when military recruiters, the Minutemen, or a conservative speaker appears at universities. Instead of allowing them their say, the faculty and students will either shout them down so no one can hear them speak, storm the stage and attack the speakers on stage, or destroy the presentation the speaker has set up and threaten bodily harm to the speaker until the speaker is forced to leave by campus police. Fine examples of free exchange of ideas that goes on in liberal universities like Columbia, Berkeley, and UC Santa Cruz among others.
Do you and the OP understand the word "censorship?"
I was giving examples of how open minded the liberals really are. If they don't agree with you they try to shout you down or shut you out. Heaven forbid they actually be open minded enough to listen to ideas and opinions they disagree with.
In a thread about censorship, you bring up that example, out of the blue? And you claim it isn't an example of what you think of as censorship? And you expect to have credibility ... how?
Censorship is something done by the government. What was listed in the original post was actually examples of liberals shutting down or shutting out speech they don't agree with. I provided further examples of the same liberal mindset, "don't agree with the speaker than shut up the speaker and run them out". Liberals in college scream "freedom of speech" but they what they mean is freedom of speech only for them and not for anyone else.

I know exactly what censorship is. The OP certainly does not. And you gave every impression of needing a lesson yourself.
And the college campus is a perfect example of free speech. If conservatives were anything but a minority, you'd say the same thing.

I agree - college campuses should show much more tolerance than they do to conservatives... anything less is complete hypocrisy...
Don't taze me Bro! Don't taze me!!!

Censorship is book burning.. religion forcing their ideals on a populace who really doesn't care. Or bitter neocons starting threads on a anonymous board crying about censorship .. Get it through you tiny polluted pea brain times have changed, move on or get left behind... Your way of thinking is archaic at best .. So either get with the program or move aside. The days of christian control are over.. So burn books you disagree with, hide in your wealthy conclaves and ponder your next move meanwhile the world will go on without you... America has spoken now listen dum dum ...
