CNN host W. Kamau Bell declared on Thursday the cancellation of college speakers like Ann Coulter is a matter of protecting students from so-called hate speech, and has nothing to do with free speech.

In an appearance on CNN’s “The Situation Room,” host Wolf Blitzer asked Bell, who hosts the series “United Shades of America,” what were his thoughts about college free speech issues and the uproar at UC-Berkeley over conservative speakers showing up on campus.

Bell said that he is a proud resident of the “People’s Republic of Berkeley, California” and stated a riot that occurred there had disrupted a farmers’ market he frequents. He then went on to say that Berkeley was right to shut down right-wing speakers.

“That’s not about free speech,” the CNN host said. “The reason why people’s speeches are being canceled is because it’s a safety issue. If your free speech leads to hate speech, and it makes people feel unsafe, then universities have the right to protect the kids on campus.”

The liberal American Civil Liberties Union would disagree with Bell’s assertion, as the group has stated Coulter’s right to free speech was violated by the school cancelling her planned appearance.

How can he characterize her speech as "hate speech" if she didn't get to give the speech?

That hatecrime needs to look up "Bill of Attainder".

There are numerous liberal/leftist nitwits like this jerk posing as "reasonable" pundits who make asses and hypocrites out of themselves on a daily basis.
Firstly, he demands the right to label speech he doesn't like as "hate" speech and stop it from happening.
Then he talks about something he's done where he's interviewed people with opposing points of view from his and labeled it a good experience.
How g-damn stupid is this clown? He babbles about free exchanges of ideas being good, and five seconds later he says they're bad.  How dumb do you have to be to contradict yourself from one sentence to the next?

Then I guess the Freedom Marchers of the 60's should have been banned as a safety issue.
