Aandrews, I'm not going to debate you, if you actually think Islam is "an ideology conflated with religion." And that "article" you sent?

Actually, the analogy was the carrying out a military reprisal on both the symbolic and physical ideological capitol of an enemy movement. I know that Islam isn't a country; it's an ideology conflated with religion.

Hypothetical, off-the-cuff, and repeated two years later, during a campaign stop in Iowa: http://www.slate.com/id/2171667/ (click through for audio).

Thank you for the historical analogy, aandrews, but Islam is not a country.

"...asked the Littleton Republican how the country should respond if terrorists struck several U.S. cities with nuclear weapons."

I remember that little brouhaha.

Rep. Tom Tancredo (search) made his remarks Friday on WFLA-AM in Orlando, Fla. His spokesman stressed he was only speaking hypothetically.

Talk show host Pat Campbell (search) asked the Littleton Republican how the country should respond if terrorists struck several U.S. cities with nuclear weapons.

While I do think that it is unfortunate that the protest got out of control, I do feel that blaming academia and liberalism is a mistake. What has made our nation great is our emphasis on the education of our population, and that includes giving students the logic and rhetoric skills necessary to question authority.

Does anyone still remember "bleeding-heart liberals?" Where did they all go??

I am a sad Tarheel today. This is the kind of behavior that makes people turn Republican.

"The irony of this situation...." Yes, as in "[a] student, carrying a cardboard sign that read "NO HATE SPEECH AT UNC," bolted after Tancredo and Matheson, screaming profanity and insults."

The irony of this situation is just incredible. So called defenders of others rights using hate speech to stop public debate - on the campus of the University of North Carolina's flagship school no less.

Nice of the little idiots at UNC to use my tax dollars to fund their education and expect me to pay for the education of illegals as well. That is exactly the kind of idiotic and elitist attitude that led me to get my degree elsewhere.

All I can say is that William Gheen is skilled at using rhetoric to turn what was really a group of concerned students protesting to stop the spread of hate on their campus into a group of tyrants and radicals obstructing the right to free speech. In no way is the brick through the window during Tom Tancredos speech analogous to the hate, intolerance, and savagery responsible for bricks through the windows of black churches and Jewish storefronts.

It's easy to call the protesters fascists, because their conflict with the police is overt. Tancredo can sit calmly in his suit while police aggress folks with legitimate concerns.

This is truly pathetic. Tom Tancredo was the only 2008 GOP nominee to attend the NAACP debates, yet he is "racist" for expressing concern about illigal immigration?

UNC-CH Chancellor Holden Thorp said he was "disappointed" that Tancredo did not have the opportunity to speak. How about a public apology from Thorpe. This is a prime example of how liberalism is a slow road to despotism, to quote Mark Levin.

It is sad that UNC teaches students that free speech only applies to liberals.
