You know, I can sympathise somewhat with those that shouted down Coulter and her extremism, but from what I've seen of Blatchford's interviews, she hardly is putting forth an extremist opinion. Maybe these three have just stepped on their proverbial dicks.

Three people, + two on the sidelines. I see a revolution in the making.

Nice display of cowardice by the University. No wonder these places have turned into such sewers of hardcore leftist bullshit when the admin is either scared of these idiots or (more likely) controlled by them.

I was disappointed Blatchford didn't take them to task. It's not like she was being drowned out like Coulter.
Whatever happened to free speech in this country? Those idiots needed to be carried off the stage. Where was the University security? Censorship in it's basest form. Those protesters are no better than Nazis. Their tactics are the same.
So they practice their right to protest by denying Blatchford her right to speech?
These knuckleheads should be throat punched.

Arrrggggg! Godwin's law already!
By the way, the protestor's were exercising the freedom of speech as well. What they were not exercising was common sense or respect for property.

Well, I don't think they denied it. Security ultimately denied it, which I think was bullshit. The protestors had their say, remove them and let Blatchford have hers.
Yup. They should've been removed by security and possibly suffered some sort of academic censure.

Agreed. Like to see some fallout... but won't.

This is weird. Waterloo is a degree factory. They're usually not a centre of academic controversy (or much else academic).

Idiots - 1
