"Free Speech" week at Berkeley

Gotcha.

Does "an issue" equate to actions taken of just your personal feelings?

My personal feelings are actually rather irrelevant in this case. Yiannopoulos' track record is pretty much known to a good deal of the public. And that should have baring on who gives him a platform or not.

So, ban him?

Letting him speak works better, his message is of less consequence than his complaining about being silenced.

Who said anything about a ban. but, if someone wishes to act in a certain way, I can see why an invite can be withdrawn.

And yes, believing in the freedom of speech, even if you don't agree with that person, IS liberal. Trying to silence those who you disagree with isn't.

The liberals no longer run the Democrats.
There is currently a slapfight going on for control of the party.

Yay, free speech.

Milo is a professional troll.

What would be more effective for a troll: wasting 100 grand for an event that never happens, or spend that money and hold a 4-day event that is almost certain to cause Antifa to lose their minds before the end of it and start attacking people?

You could make the argument that he is most incompetent troll in history, but that doesn't negate the notation that he is a troll.

Besides it not good for my career to associated with him.

Edit: Career not carrier LOL

I wasn't arguing that he wasn't a troll. Just that it'd be far more effective for the event to go off and trigger Antifa. It'd be like getting banned before anyone took your bait.

Back in the old days civil rights protesters were looking to actually get their message out and avoid violence. It seems the reverse is now true.
