Look at this little cutie!

I’m a free-speech advocate, and so of course I am against such intimidation techniques that are used to silence critics.

Lesbians riot at Smith College speech
‘This is no civil rights movement, but a sexual special interest lobby’

Protester with frying pan

Rioting lesbians have stormed a speech by “Born Gay Hoax” author Ryan Sorba on the campus of Smith College in Massachusetts, shutting down his address, according to two major pro-family organizations, Americans for Truth and Mass Resistance.

“Beware lesbians with frying pans (if you care about free speech),” AFT said in his announcement. “Lesbian activists at Smith College just couldn’t stand by and let a young critic explain his views about the supposed innateness of homosexuality – so they stormed Ryan Sorba’s speech on the ‘Born Gay Hoax’ and forced him to end it prematurely.”

“Thus they decided for everyone in the room – supporters, foes, the curious and the undecided – whether Sorba’s arguments would be heard. Stalin would be proud,” said AFT’s Peter LaBarbera.

Free speech also applies to the Lesbians, who have a constitutional right to peaceable assembly do they not?

Mr. Sorba is as free to say something lesbians find objectionable, as the lesbians are free to object to him saying it. As long as violence or coercion is not employed, why support one over the other if not because you wish only one viewpoint to be protected?

(And this is so gonna get moved to “In The News”.)

(And this is so gonna get moved to “In The News”.)

But the word “Hoax” is in the guy’s book title.

So you are saying it really belongs in “Books, Movies, TV Shows”?

However, the news story is not related to the title of the book being promoted.

I actually saw this thread vanish before my eyes!

It’s ok, David. You’re not that powerful.

Erm, then why am I listed on the forum hompage as the last poster to the Hoaxes/ROTC thread when I have never posted there?

At a guess, the forum’s changed the thing listed as most recently posted in, but forgot to change who it was and when they posted it. If that makes any sense…

Edt: It probably makes more sense since I read what I’d written and added some small but essential words.

Actually, I secretly have the amazing superpower of being able to remotely cause computers to go wrong. Then I can turn up, fix them, and claim my megabucks reward for doing so. It has served me very well, for I am the…

Peaceful assembly is the key phrase.
If the site is to be believed the assembly was anything but peaceful.
