They Are Violent Because They Know They Are Wrong

Terrorist and Obama BFF Bill Ayers delivered a speech over the objections of the shool who was hosting it and had canceled it due to security fears. It went fine.

So?

So leftists can speak and nothing happens, but let a right-winger speak (Ann Coulter comes to mind) and the leftist kook fringe throws things at them.

At the tea parties, there was no violence from the tea partiers. What violence there was, came from SEIU thugs and other Statists, and was quickly and roundly denounced by the tea partiers.

In the immigration reform debate a couple of years ago, there was no violence. Your alphabet news channel didn't cover it, but the pro-illegals had a "small riot" during a protest against the bill in Arizona, before it became law.

In a debate where one side is intellectually inferior as well as wrong, and the minds of the persons involved are too weak to stand being defeated with mere words, that side may be prone to violence. The other side, smarter and correct, needs only to stand on the truth of its position, even when the other side is speaking.

By the way, if you were listening to Savage yesterday, he gave us a dramatic example of this. After a caller ("an academic") was repeatedly rebuffed in his attempt to change the topic when his points were refuted, Savage poked two big holes in his mind by changing the topic twice in fast succession, proving his points both times. The caller then went from civil to ad hominem viciousness in an instant. I LOL'd at him, and found a new way to peel back the mask from a small-minded opponent in a debate.
