From: "Gary Britt" 

Censorship or silencing the expression of opposing views by attempting to
demonize, humiliate, assault, and character assassination are long
cherished tools of the left wing.  It is the attempt to silence the
expression of other viewpoints.  A minority of people in attendance make a
commotion so speakers with viewpoints these children oppose decline to come
and speak, thereby depriving the vast majority of the attending audience
their free speech rights to peaceably hear the viewpoints they came to
hear.
