Must not oppose illegal immigration

Michigan State University:
"A Latino student group is rallying against what they call free speech violations at Michigan State University.

About 30 representatives from Chicanos y Latino Unidos (CLU), along with members of several other organizations, met for about a half hour earlier this week on the steps of MSU's Hannah Administration Center to "challenge the university into having them take a stand about ... what the difference is between freedom of speech and hate speech, fighting words and violent speech," CLU President Gabriela Alcazar said.

Specifically, CLU wants MSU officials to disallow another student organization - Young Americans for Freedom (YAF) - from hosting speakers who "speak against minorities" and "instigate and threaten people and insult people," said Alcazar, 20, who originally is from Imlay City.

"There's a point where they don't have the right to say the things they've been saying," said the international relations and social relations and policy major. CLU wants the university "to begin drawing a line and not keep covering everything with freedom of speech."

MSU's chapter of YAF has made news for various events, including an anti-immigration forum last year during which violence broke out.

Kyle Bristow, MSU's chairman of YAF, attended the event. "Free speech is a God-given right, and a group of 13 people who disagree with that are not going to take that right from us," said the 20-year-old international relations major. "We're contributing to intellectual diversity."

Bristow said he believes the rally was to protest an upcoming YAF event. YAF has invited Mark Krikorian from the Center for Immigration Studies to speak against illegal immigration from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. today at room 102 in Conrad Hall, Bristow said."

Amusing terminology: "violence broke out". They are not quite bold enough to say it was the conservatives who were being violent but they still glide over the fact that it was the Leftists/Hispanics who were violent.

Mark Krikorian (of Armenian ancestry) is the head of the Center for Immigration Studies and is a most respectable critic of illegal immigration. There is no way he has ever said anything racist -- though just disagreeing with a Leftist makes you "racist", of course.

As i've stated in previous posts, one of the oldest (and most favored) tricks of the Left is to blame those on the right for doing what it is those on the Left have done. Sort of like a magician getting you to watch his right hand while his left hand makes the moves. And it's still very effective, unless you fight back with (at least) equal vigor.

The Left knows all-too-well that those on the right always play by "the rules" and rarely fight back, and they count on that weakness to win. To those on the Left, their rules are simple. There are no rules!

"violence broke out."

You sure it wasn't a hockey game?
