Read about this the other day. He is saying he and family were threatened and someone kicked wine onto his wife.
So my assumption is that there is a police report on this, right?
Right?
I mean, GB would surely have called for some assistance on this and filed some kind of report on it, right?
Right?
I thought "the left" comprised a group of weak-minded, tree huggers?
While those descriptions are true, have you seen the Hitler comparisons to Bush, the videos of Ann Coulter among others getting pies and other things thrown in their faces or when a conservative goes to many college campuses how they get shouted down and are not even given the chance to speak?
Not commenting on the rest of it, but seems like a Beck or a Coulter going to speak on any campus other than maybe Oral Roberts or BYU should expect to get shouted down. In fact, I daresay they are banking on it.
Literally.
why should they expect that? Whatever happened to the free exchange of ideas? Or is liberalism the only acceptable opinion allowed on most college campuses.
They should expect it because they've created a cottage industry of hate by fanning the extermist flames and making outlandish and dangerous accustations. Glenn Beck is an uneducated buffoon who read a few books and preyed on the latent, conspiracy-obsessed hysteria that now seems to be silly in retrospect.
ahh, so in other words, their free speech rights should be squelched, sometimes violently, because you don't want to hear what they have to say.
how enlightened
Nope. When you exercise your free speech rights in a loud and careless and crass way, expect; no, undoubtedly KNOW, that others will respond in kind while exercising their right to free and loud and vehement speech, just like you did.

While I disagree with everything you say here, let's say that is true. He wasn't at the park to make a speech or political activity. He was there to watch a movie, let the man watch a movie with his family without acting like a bunch of morons.
again, because you disagree with the message, you believe you have the right to react violently when the messenger appears? Even if he or she was the invited guest of your institution?
are you scared that you might find yourself agreeing with a Coulter or Beck if you actually extended them the courtesy of allowing to speak?
seems to me that you are pretty insecure in your ideas if your first reaction is to violently silence anybody who speaks contrary to them.
that's pretty pathetic, but not surprising
Many in attendance have stated that he is the one overreacting to the heckling. Which is no surprise to me. He overreacts to most everything, including repeatedly crying on cable TV.
