12. A couple of points
first, you closed with: My guess is you're a freeper ...

i believe that's a DU no-no ... make your argument ... don't make accusations ...

second, you stated: Do not be so quick to throw accusations at the free exchange of ideas in this country.

The base post included the following:

Their rally was quickly surrounded by Palestinian students and their supporters who yelled things like, "Get out or we will kill you" and "Hitler did not finish the job."


I wasn't there ... I assume you weren't either ... if those are the facts, I would not consider surrounding people and threatening them with death as, to use your words, "the free exchange of ideas" ...

Let's protect free speech to the fullest but let's recognize what's over the line too ... and this aspect of the facts presented was clearly way over the line ... whether Israeli conduct is reprehensible or not has nothing to do with whether this conduct was wrong ...
