I saw a CNN interview where the anchor was clearly insinuating that the free speechers "asked for it and had it coming".

Sad. Very sad.

I think I was in 7th grade when I saw the stupidity of guys goaded into a fight because the other guy "was talking about my mom." The fight always ended up in a suspension and sometimes in a ticket from the campus officer. I asked a few of them, "Does he even know your mom?" "No." "Then why do you care what he says?"

It seems pretty ignorant and immature to give somebody else so much power that their words unilaterally compel your actions. Counterintuitively, it puts you at their mercy, not them at yours.

The proper response is to have ten of these events next week, 100 the week after that, and 1,000 the week after that.
That's what you get for watching CNN. Who does that?

Hahaha, well, not me. I kicked all cable/satellite to the curb years ago. I do have a bad habit of visiting their website, but I found this specific interview from a Facebook link to a conservative website that was calling out the CNN anchor and included the clips as a point of disgust.
