Back in October of 2006, protestors shut down a Minuteman speech sponsored by a group of Republican students. The protestors stated it was because Jim Gilchrist is a racist. They also said “like Hitler in pre-n**i Germany, Gilchrist & the Minutemen attempt to demonize foreign born poor people. They stated that “Fascist scapegoating is not up for academic discussion.â€Â
But, now it is ok for a “man†who states the holocaust never happened to speak? It is ok to have an academic discussion with a man who wants to wipe Isreal off the planet? Is it really ok to have a man speak on campus who believes the Hitler quote refers to a non-event?
