Here's a link to the GMU campus paper's coverage of Dr. John Lewis's talk on Islamic totalitarianism. You have to savor the reported remarks of Jasper Conner, the front man for the "Students for a Democratic Society" attempting to defend the rude and disruptive conduct of the members of his organization.

"That's a message not of 'we don’t accept your right to speak,' but of 'we will not be an audience for your call to violence and your intolerance and your ethnocentric view of the world,” says Conner.

If Conner and his ilk were not going to be an "audience," they would have stayed at home. Instead, acted like savages, ignoring the reasoning of the speaker, misrepresenting the speaker's actual position, and then somehow attempting to justify their behavior in the end.

One thing is certain: the name of Conner's group is fittingly appropriate: it is the New Left all over again, complete with the same ignorance, intellectual deceit and outright thuggery.
