Whatever happened to the old saying, "I disagree with what you are saying, but I'll defend to my death your right to say it"?

Away with you right wing radical kook.

Now you are moving goal posts.

You said, "The right to free speech does not include the right to have universities host your lecture."

Now it's "ought"

Whether they "ought" to do something is a completely different matter, and it is their decision to make. Not yours. That is what "rights" are all about.

The difference is whether the subject is an John Q Public or a university. Talking about rights was a digression that shouldn't have happened.

Political Science at work.

Care to elaborate?

Sounds like college would be quite boring; if you were running it.

Certainly college would be more exciting if speakers included alleged alien abductees, sovereign citizens, and 9/11 truthers.

The whiny disrespectful crybabies happened.

I don't see any value in that, academic or otherwise. If your description of his speech is true, then he doesn't understand what's going on. The error lies in his generalization. There are two issues at work. One is the mainstreaming of progressive left ideas, long the domain of academia and fringe subcultures, resulting in people adopting causes without fully understanding them. The second is the radicalization of a variety of movements, liberal and conservative, due to political and economic strife.

based on the ignorant reaction to his speech, he knew exactly what he was saying, and he was correct.

In other words, "I disagree with him so he has not right to be here.
