Hey QM,

I'm going to put this real simple: you go to Europe and find that most people benefit from the fact they know multiple languages... only stupid people fear bilingualism (or multilingualism, etc.).

As for this video, I hate to say it, but I'm not gonna side with the student. Their actions are NOT rtepresenative of an environment where discussion is to be fostered. Just like the poster a few up said, they didn't ask to ban him from talking, but effectively did the same thing by storming the stage.

That said, the minutemen are douchebags.

There is a reason that Gilchrist quickly cut and ran away when she asked him about his ties w/ that organization, because they are like peas in a pod/ Best friends forever! White Supremacists/neo-nazis/ Klansman/ Minutemen are all varying names of the same creature, identical in that they are ALL Hateful Bigots.

Oh, and may I say that the stark contrast - between that intelligent fresh-faced young woman and that old crank of a racist asshole - was notably funny. LOL!!!

I think gingers should be run out of the country before illegals.

LOL, why cannot the brave Minutemen just let these people on the stage, wave their banner around.. Let campus security escort them off... Then give your talk. Bunch of pussies.

I've no problem with Immigrants, hell my ancestors were immigrants. But I have a problem with Immigrants who have migrated illegally.

One, it shows a complete disregard for the rule of law. Two, it degrades the view of other Legal Immigrants who have followed the rule of law. Now, that being said, by all means do every thing you can to petition for proper citizenship just short of breaking the law. This is the American Way, if at first you fail, try, try again. But moving Illegal Aliens to interment camps, and or treating them like dirt is one thing I cannot stand. They should be provided the right of due process. All humans should, no matter their crime, or whether they are citizens or not.

As an outsider this is how I see it. She is inciting an attack from him. They both have motive that much is evident through there short discourse. I refer to she as her group, and he to his group.

They claim to be showing free speech however they stifled the Minute Man group from talking their jive, by jumping up there and inviting violence.

I tend to think it should be treated how Athiest vs Religion debates and arguments are treated. They should have a real debate with a mediator and the whole lot.

I've never been a fan of the minute men, and have always decried their presence near Polling places. Then again I decry any partisan presence near the poling places.

More importantly who gives the Minutemen the right to, as she said, patrol the desert carrying weapons? I am of the mind that this second ammendment usage is not what the Signers had in mind. She should also be aware that calling some one a murderer can be construed as a libel.

Also much respect to the students for sticking it to the man. The man being the white guy on the stage, and the School Suits.

"Intelligent punk band" rarely uttered phrase.


I think you're confusing the Guttermouths with Kennedys. There's a huge difference.

The roots of punk rock lie in the realm of college youth culture, avant-garde, politics, rebellion and nonconformity. They were the noble savages in the savage world of Rock n' Roll. Bad Brains, Crass, The Minutemen, Black Flag, Minor Threat, The Dead Kennedys, The Exploited, Propagandi -- the list of intelligent punk rock goes on and on.

Still waiting for an example where gun ownership by the citizens meant oppressive governments don't come into power or even held in check.


"In 1760, Britain began adopting mercantilist policies toward her American colonies. By 1768, these had produced such hardships and a reversal of the previous prosperity that British troops had to be sent to suppress riots and collect taxes.

Between 1768-1777, the British policy was to disarm the American colonists by whatever means possible, from entrapment, false promises of safekeeping, banning imports, seizure, and eventually shooting persons bearing arms.

By 1774, the British had embargoed shipments of arms to America, and the Americans responded by arming themselves and forming independent militia companies.

On the night of 18 April 1775, General Gage, Governor of Massachusetts, dispatched several hundred soldiers of the Boston garrison under the command of Major Pitcairn to seize the arms and munitions stored by the illegal colonial militias in Concord.

When Pitcairn encountered the Minutemen on the Lexington common blocking his way, he demanded that they throw down their arms and disperse. Although willing to disperse, the Minutemen were not willing to surrender their arms. The rest is history."

If Britain had succeeded in disarming the colonies, Britain would have won the American Revolution.
Also Rome easily committed genocide against Carthage after tricking them into giving up their weapons (ca. the Third Punic War)

Seriously? Jimi has no soul? are you retarded?

I think Bill Hicks said it best

all you, youngun's.....thanx again...

So the Minutemen are "racist" for wanting secure borders and American tax money to be spent on legal Americans?

Leftist fascism in action. Why shell out big green for 5 years at Stalin-Marx Kollij when you could sit at home and be slightly less ignorant for free?

Ridiculous - the Minutemen (a moniker no doubt given to them by the women in their lives) use extremist tactics; what the students did was relatively calm.

Extra points for interviewing the conservative douchebag at the end to put the punctuation on the proceedings.

That reminds me - time to do some old-time Sift Maintenance.

And rescue work.
