Nothing is Sacred!

Second, the right to free speech does not confer a soap box -- you have to bring your own. If the people at the University of Ottawa are smart enough to not want an intolerant, ignorant, shrill, moron to address them, then the said moron has no right to be there. No more than cheaters and spammers have a right to be here. The ownership of the venue trumps free speech -- and that is as it should be.

I agree with the previous part. What I understand from the Ottowa event was that she was invited to speak by people who did want to hear what she had to say. The campus police ended up canceling the event after the people protesting against her, threatened violence.

It does not seem to be an exercise in free speech, but rather that of mob rule.
