Coulter at Berkeley.

I'm fine with notorious nazi Coulter speaking at Berkeley. It's a public university and should not be engaged in censorship, at least it should censor only for good reasons and do so without prejudice. Certainly just because she is a notorious nazi fuckwit is not a good reason, and unless the university has a policy barring all fuckwits, picking on this one crosses the 1st amendment line, in my opinion.

I also am fine with people showing up and shouting down the abominable Coulter. Her views are anathema to a democratic society. And if the police try to shut the audience up or prevent attendance based on political persuasions, well that would be an egregious violation of the 1st amendment that should b vigorously protested.
