The left hate free speech, it cannot even be disputed anymore. It’s a fact and like all facts, it’s not open for negotiation. It just has to be accepted. And if you doubt that, let me show you once again why it’s a fact:

Violence erupted at a Michigan law school Thursday when protestors tried to block a speech by Colorado Congressman Tom Tancredo.

Police were called after protestors pulled a fire alarm prior to the speech on immigration policies. There were at least three violent incidents with protestors targeting student backers of the event, Tancredo, R-Littleton, said today.

“One was spit on, one was kicked, and one was punched,” Tancredo said in an e-mail. “Tires were also slashed.”

[…]

College newspaper The State News reported that protesters carried signs reading “Ignorant Racist” outside the room where the speech was held. They were not allowed in with the signs, the paper said. It also reported that about 40 people attended the speech.

Tancredo said in the email that protestors organized on the Internet social networking site Facebook.

They declared ahead of time on facebook that they would not allow me to speak,” Tancredo said in the e-mail.

The alarm went off twice during the speech as well and this is what one of the students said about it:

“God works in mysterious ways,” said McPherson, a food science and premedical junior, after the second fire alarm was pulled. “(Tancredo) shouldn’t be here.”

Tancredo shouldn’t be there because the student doesn’t want him to speak. If you don’t like what the speaker says, force them not to say it.
Go here for a video link and more information (like the fact that the Denver Post cropped out the American Flag from a picture of Tancredo).
