Something that needs to be said here. I don't think socialism is The Answer, and neither do a lot of other people with half a brain. That being said, it's not the worst idea humans have ever come up with, and deserves to be heard. Of course, these are socialists at one of the nation's top schools. They are supposedly the great thinkers of the movement. The heirs of Marx and Che, et al, not to mention heirs to a school legacy of leftist activism.

You know, it's tough to put together an intellectual argument for socialism. If anyone can do it though, it should be these people. The fact that the best weapon they can put together against such an odious foe is to storm the stage and shout speaks volumes about the legitimacy of their agenda. It is an irrelevant agenda, and they know it, and they are desperate to stir up a lot of noise and think they have accomplished something.

If they had let the speaker speak, or at least protested outside the auditorium, the College Republicans would have been torn to shreds over the next few weeks in the op-ed pages of the Spectator. The College Republicans would still have a really, really tough time getting laid. This would be a non-event, instead of a free speech rallying cry for right wing assholes.
