Liberals again stifle open discussion and debate on a college campus with threats and violence.

UNC-CH police released pepper spray and threatened to use a Taser on student protesters Tuesday evening when a crowd disrupted a speech by former Colorado congressman Tom Tancredo opposing in-state tuition benefits to unauthorized immigrants.

Hundreds of protesters converged on Bingham Hall, shouting profanities and accusations of racism while Tancredo and the student who introduced him tried to speak. Minutes into the speech, a protester pounded a window of the classroom until the glass shattered, prompting Tancredo to flee and campus police to shut down the event.

Tancredo was brought to campus by a UNC chapter of Youth for Western Civilization, a national organization of students who oppose mass immigration, multiculturalism and affirmative action.

Before the event, campus security removed two women who delayed Tancredo's speech by stretching a 12-foot banner across the front of the classroom. It read, "No dialogue with hate."

I agree. There can be no dialogue with the sort of Leftist hate displayed at UNC. And if police cannot keep order, it may be time for the average citizen to act to defend the exercise of First Amendment rights through the prudent exercise of Second Amendment rights. After all, how many of these violent thugs would attempt to shut down speakers if they knew that their force would be met with force?
