Tolerance On Display at Columbia University

Minuteman founder Jim Gilchrist was invited to speak at Columbia University in New York City, and was greeted with the usual tolerance and maturity from the lefties in the crowd (h/t Captain Ed):

Students stormed the stage at Columbia University's Roone auditorium yesterday, knocking over chairs and tables and attacking Jim Gilchrist, the founder of the Minutemen, a group that patrols the border between America and Mexico.

Mr. Gilchrist and Marvin Stewart, another member of his group, were in the process of giving a speech at the invitation of the Columbia College Republicans. They were escorted off the stage unharmed and exited the auditorium by a back door.

Having wreaked havoc onstage, the students unrolled a banner that read, in both Arabic and English, "No one is ever illegal." As security guards closed the curtains and began escorting people from the auditorium, the students jumped from the stage, pumping their fists, chanting victoriously, "Si se pudo, si se pudo," Spanish for "Yes we could!"

When did the left start whipping out protest banners written in Arabic? Do they really think they'll win the hearts and minds of Americans by shutting down speeches they don't like and then making their case in the language of the terrorists the Minutemen are trying to keep from crossing the borders? Not a good p.r. move.
