Just because one douche burnt a sign doesn't mean I think Berkeley should have let a bigot incite a crowd with his rhetoric and put undocumented immigrants in their community in very real physical danger.

It's not anti immigration, it's anti ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION. Why is this so hard for you goons to understand?
Yes, xenophobic assholes are always very careful to make this distinction.
Don't be retarded. I fully support legal immigrants, and I've literally never met anyone that doesn't. Illegal immigration hurts everyone, but it especially hurts the poor. Why do you hate the poor?
I wasn't calling you a xenophobic asshole. I was saying the xenophobic assholes that right-wing reactionaries incite with racist rhetoric just use the "anti-illegal immigration" argument to push an agenda of hatred and white nationalism.

Freedom of speech isn't freedom of platform. Milo can say what he wants, but if it's my venue I can tell him to go home.

So your imagined physical danger of illegal immigrants is more important to you that the real physical attacks that these deranged antifa assholes did to elderly people, women, and others? Brilliant.

And if you're going to name undocumented immigrants all while whipping the crowd into a fervor against illegal immigration, I'd say that comes pretty damned close to speech the creates a "clear and present danger".

That's fine. I think he's a con artist personally.

But more and more anyone who disagrees with the brand of leftism being put out by cancerous schools like Berkeley is being labelled a nazi and more protests and violence are making things worse. let people speak.
And it's not an affront to free speech if Berkeley, as a community, decides that's not the type of thing they want at their school.
uh yes it is. Sure they (and by they I mean the school, not some vague buyllshit community) have a right to refuse anyone to speak on campuss, but it's still an affront to free speech. As a liberal university, they should WANT this.

There is literally nothing on planet Earth that defends the rights of marginalized people more than free speech.

I do have an utterly militant belief in the concept of free speech. There is no walking that back. Either you have free speech or you don't. There is no grey area. Hate speech is allowed. Private institutions have a right to do whatever they want, but they should WANT to hear what people have to say.
Agree with this 100%

Until the students said they didn't. And I'd consider the student body to be a part of the overall institution, or the venue.

Then you aren't paying attention, and you haven't followed the story. Two words: pepper spray.

No shit, because no one is putting a picture of you on the stage after telling everyone there how people who look like you are everything that's wrong with this country and must be stopped and thrown out at all cost.

Whatever the protesters did doesn't change my point.

Except there are students there that wanted him to speak, and were silenced by a violence.
