Chilling

It appears the disruptions were in good supply at the Nonie Darwish event. But it's the leftists who have to worry about their speech being chilled.

What I've found most unbelievable about this week is that folks pretend that it matters. As if, had Darwish's talk occurred without disruption, we'd all run out and start shooting Muslims or something. It's an argument that goes both ways ("Oh, really? Islamic terrorists? I wasn't aware..."), but the folks putting it on at least aren't very subtle about the fact that it's almost pure baiting. The people responding have to know that the event is there to make them look bad and invigorate the conservative base, don't they?

It's people like this who make me hate being "liberal".

What the fuck is yelling supposed to do? "Oh, you're right! I never considered that argument until it was shouted at me!".
