Stanford: Fascist students stage walkout at Robert Spencer event, administration bars others wanting to enter
By Robert Spencer on Nov 15, 2017 03:03 am

Stanford administration is responsible for what happened tonight, as they aided and abetted the smear campaign that the Stanford Daily and Stanford Review carried out, and coddled the students who were spuriously claiming that they felt “threatened” by my presence. Above all, they are responsible for refusing to endorse their own policy regarding disruption of […]

By Robert Spencer on Nov 14, 2017 04:21 pm

“There is room in our community for many political viewpoints, but there is no room for hate. Robert Spencer peddles in hate. He mischaracterizes, demonizes, and stereotypes Muslims and their beliefs.” Any examples? Of course not, because I do not do these things.

By Robert Spencer on Nov 14, 2017 08:44 am

By Robert Spencer on Nov 14, 2017 07:35 am
