We read:
"When David Horowitz speaks about campus anti-Semitism and appeasement of radical Islam at the University of California, Santa Barbara on May 26, it will be against a backdrop of soft censorship and suppression of free speech that has come to characterize the UCSB public square.
The school’s Associated Students (AS) financial board, heavily influenced by the UCSB Muslim Students Association acting in concert with left-wing groups, illegally refused a funding request last week by the College Republicans to fund the event. After a protest by students anxious to hear Horowitz, the AS granted a part of the sum initially requested by College Republicans, but only after encouraging a campaign portraying Horowitz as a racist, Islamophobe, and practitioner of hate speech.
The May 26 speech will touch on themes similar those in a previous Horowitz lecture at Santa Barbara three years ago in which he challenged — without success — students heckling from the audience to denounce the terror group Hamas and its intention to wipe Israel, and all Jews, off the face of the map.
The memory of that confrontation was one factor that led the College Republicans’ request for $2000, for audiovisual and security expenses (and not including an honorarium) to be turned down by the Associated Students board on May 2. Citing court decisions requiring viewpoint neutrality when student fees are allocated for speakers, College Republicans protested. At a raucous public forum on May 5, the AS approved $1100 for the event. This amount was then reduced to $800 as a result of a campaign by Islamic and left groups, which also made it clear that they intended to disrupt the event.

Ironically, and as usual, most of the leftist protestors will be jews.
Us science grad students at Columbia four five years when I was there, kept hearing about grad student strikes and AIDs protests that involved coed nudity...and we went right on working on Sunday and on holidays too, feeling like mice in a pile of ribbons, so very thankful for all being paid to be there instead of charged for it!

Anon 3:27pm: You must be a leftist jew, since you seem to know so much about them, or is it that you are psychic?
If you know so much please let us know (1) How many protesters will be protesting. (2) How many of those will be Jews, and (3) How many of those Jews will be leftist?
It seems that you are simply repeating the same drivel you made against the Jews of New York.
Anon 1:51: It is easy to say common knowledge without facts. It seems you are saying that most leftist are jews.
I am saying that you cannot paint with a wide brush.
There are those that are jews by birth, descendants of Abraham, and there are those who are jews because because they practice Judaic religion. You cannot say honestly how many are leftist. Your bias is speaking. For out of the heart the mouth speaketh.
For all you bleeding-heart Muslim sympathizers, I dare you to watch this video and tell me that you honestly believe that Islam is a peaceful religion.
