Just one week after a conservative speaker’s remarks were cut short because of protestors, UNC Chapel Hill welcomed another controversial speaker.
Former six-term Virginia Congressman Virgil Goode was the guest speaker Wednesday night at a lecture sponsored by Youth for Western Civilization.
The protests began early starting with a bit of street theatre by a group of mock cheerleaders. They showed up outside the auditorium where Goode was to speak, and did an obscenity-laced cheer inviting him to leave campus.
Before the event began, the president Youth for Western Civilization expressed hope that Goode's speech wouldn’t be disrupted in the same way that Former Congressman Tom Tancredo’s speech was truncated.
“Considering the crowd, I think it should be relatively peaceful,” said Riley Matheson.
As a large contingent of campus and Chapel Hill Police stood by, Riley said he thought lessons had been learned following the Tancredo incident.
“After all the bad press that UNC got, I think for sure that students will be better behaved,” said Riley.
While Goode tried to speak, disruptions by a handful of protesters resulted in arrests after they were warned that their actions would not be tolerated.
Six people were charged with disorderly conduct by police:
Meredith Ann Dickey, 18
824 Chamberlain Road, Raleigh, NC
Michael Bandes, 25
1714 Jo Mac Road, Orange County, NC
Sarah Monica Johnson, 25
822 Chamberlain Street, Raleigh, NC
Jack Wilson Groves, 18
822 Chamberlain Street, Raleigh, NC
Donald George Yeo, 30
206 Prince Street, Carrboro, NC
Rachel Love Harris, 22
1714 Jo Mac Road, Orange County, NC
None of those arrested Wednesday are currently students or employees of the University.
On Thursday campus police also have arrested Helen Elizabeth Koch, a currently enrolled UNC student, for disorderly conduct during last week's appearance by former Colorado Congressman Tom Tancredo.
After Goode’s speech, some students expressed frustration at the outbursts.
“I was disgraced and embarrassed that there were people in the audience shouting obscenities, hooting and hollering and not letting him get a word out,” said student Carolyn Mason.
Her friend, student Beth Haley, was also concerned by the disruptive behavior. “I'm sorry that is the side of UNC that he gets to see,” she said.
Despite what occurred, Goode said he wasn't angry.
“It may have been 100 percent civil, but order was maintained throughout the evening and I think most people had the opportunity to come and state their view or ask a question,” he declared.
After the ruckus, the school's chancellor released a statement expressing his regret that six protesters had to be arrested, but said “they gave the school no choice” by ignoring warnings.
And Holden Thorp also said the arrested protesters “don't represent what Carolina stands for when it comes to freedom of expression.”

nunyabiz do you have anything of your own to say? Or do you constantly spew regurgitated trash because you are not sharp enough to think on your own. It's always the same thing with people like you. Yell as loud as you can the same crap over and over because it is all you have been taught and know. And consistently calling someone "reich wing" just proves how ridiculous you are, talk about hate speech. You sound like a left wing sound bite.
By TopAssistant on 04/25 08:38 AM
Nunyabiz, are you a communist? What about the Southern Poverty Law Center? Now talk about illegal alien terrorists? Are they OK?
By Nunyabiz on 04/25 08:26 AM
You reich wingers are all the same. Have no clue what you are talking about ever. Believe the propaganda you hear on Fox "news" & Rush Limbaugh. Label everyone that doesn't think exactly like you "leftist & Liberal" as if that is a bad thing. Flatly refuse to accept irrefutable fact when you are proven wrong. This group (YWC) are bunch of fear mongering Reich wing lunatics that hate everyone "non-white" they just label them "illegal aliens" to cover their blatantly racist rhetoric. This country was founded by illegal aliens, that is what the USA is and has been since the 1700's a place where everyone is welcome. Groups like this are a total disgrace to any college campus. Here is some more evidence that is well documented for you reich wingers to ignore. http://www.splcenter.org/blog/2009/02/26/white-nationalist-linked-right-wing-youth-group-debuts-at-cpac/ http://www.splcenter.org/blog/2009/03/26/vanderbilt-youth/ http://www.dailykos.com/story/2009/4/21/722791/-Former-Congressman-Goes-on-Hate-Group-Speaking-Tour http://catherinemacivor.com/2009/03/01/cpac-sponsor-linked-to-hate-group/ It is quite clear to anyone not brain dead that YWC is nothing but a a new "Hitler youth" or KKK group that is trying to spread white supremacist BS in the 7 colleges they have infected so far. I applaud UNC students for standing up and protesting these lunatics.

Yes, it does make me think. It makes me think that misrepresentations and straw-grasping guilt by association techniques are about all you've got left. If I were so inclined, I could do the same thing with leftists and their Che t-shirts. I'm not so inclined, because that's silly. It still remains to be proven that a US Congressman is part of a hate group, which is the lie that props up these fascist attacks.
By >:3 on 04/24 01:27 PM
Funny, I didn't see the uppity brats who disrupted the speech using fascist imagery, or talking about purging all the non-whites from the US, or praising dictators like Franco and Salazar. That must be because the YAFers and YWC crowd were doing that: http://globalpolitician.com/25480-west-western-civilization Kyle Bristow, Kevin DeAnna and Marcus Epstein are all good, close friends. Makes ya think, don't it?

I think it's odd that the leftists were the ones violently disrupting speech yet the rightists are the ones garnering nazi comparisons. Once again, "Hitler-esque" means "I don't like you". It's sad that our national debate has gotten this lame. Some people get their 1st amendment-protected meetings shut down while others get to toss around nazi epithets with impunity with no subsequent loss of moral high ground in the public's eyes. This bashing of all things Europe-positive will only end up enabling actual, KKK-style racists. That might be what the left wants, actually, since it would enable them to regain their sense of outrage. They wouldn't go after upper-class white college kids anyway, so this is a rather costless exercise for them, isn't it?

The UNC system needs to invite Tom Tancredo back to speak and cover ALL of his costs. A larger speaking room needs to be made available so the general public can also attend. Protesters can be allowed, however, in an area separated from the event. The campus police need to review their standard operating procedures (SOP) for events to ensure they have video equipment available inside and outside future events. The campus police should have immediately removed the two "girls" holding the sign inside the room. The Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) has a long history of COMMUNISM. Many key Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) members of the 1960s were "red-diaper babies," children of parents who were Communist Party members or Communist activists in the 1930s. In 1966, when President Lyndon Johnson abolished student draft deferments, some 300 new SDS chapters were formed. Among the organization's activities were: disrupting ROTC classes, staging draft card burnings, and harassing campus recruiters for the CIA and for firms that conducted research tied in some way to national defense. SDS also occupied buildings at universities such as Columbia and destroyed draft records. You need to Google the article, Free Speech in the Crossfire.

Scary to see all the reich wing nut bags without a clue on this site. nothing any of you reich wingers said is even remotely factual. Shows how what our real problem is here in the US is the mainstream media, especially Fox "news" which is obviously the worst of the bunch but the rest are not that much better. The MSM has been lying to the population for at least 30 years now. What we have is an ignorant population being fed bald faced lies by the propagandist media.
By Lefty on 04/24 09:08 AM
Quote: "In Germany in the 30s the people that stood around and did nothing when the reich wing extremist took over were called “Mitlaufers” " Actually the Nazi party was hatched from the then "Leftest" organiztions, which flourished under the tolerant, pervasive, conservative government...Then once in control of the media, and state, exhibited their intolerance for the conservatives of all walks of life !

Tolokun Omokunde, Virgil Goode has been a great legislator for Virginia. I would trade him for all of the useless Democrats from North Carolina. America will be brought to her knees with our out of control spending on illegal aliens and everything that makes politicians feel good. Most of the kids at UNC and other colleges do not have a clue what they are doing when it comes to illegal immigration. What about the Islamic terrorist that want to cut your head off, do you think they love you? They are going to Iran, Brazil, and Venezuela to learn ENGLISH and SPANISH, along with terrorism. They traveling to the U.S. and hide in sleeper cells. Read your history. Discuss the two Barbary Wars and get back with me. Illegal alien terrorists are here in the U.S. just waiting until they can cut your heads off. Watch the short video Fitna, you can find it online.
By Susan C on 04/24 01:39 AM
Tolokun Omokunde said: "Is Virgil Goode what Carolina stands for? Why are youth only for western civiliztion? Is ethnic cleansing going to take place at UNC?" Probably for the same reason that organizations such as National Council of La Raza, LULAC, MALDEF, MEChA, Brown Berets, and La Voz de Aztlan are only for Hispanic civilization.
By Vladimir Krutinov on 04/23 10:46 PM
It should rid the USA of these illegal monkeys and keep America for Americans or risk a 3rd world garbage dump!!! I am surprised UNC is Liberal it should be avery Grass Root Conservative State and these mental illeness liberals weeded out. Russia is for Russians Wake up America and NC V Krutinov CCCP Air Force 75
By Aztlan Buster on 04/23 09:05 PM
Illegal aliens are criminals and parasites, one and all. Their very presence here and practically everything they do on U. S. soil is illegal. They need to be ferreted out, rounded up like cattle, punished for their numerous crimes, then booted back to whence they snuck in from with such extreme prejudice that they will never, ever think of violating our sovereignty again. Enough is enough. Watch The Obama Deception Here---> http://tinyurl.com/ObamaDeceptionHD

unfortunately this is the truth. Have you ever wondered why large corporations have so many lobbyists. they need to influence and make friends with those in power. If gov't stayed out of the affairs of a free people then there would be no need for corporations to spend so much money on influencing those in power. of course i'm not for no gov't at all, that would be anarchy, but i am worried about the ever expanding reach and power of gov't. By the way you should consider educating yourself on the begginings of liberal thought in this country, it might be eye opening. Also G.W.B does not speak for the majority of conservatives. we are upset at the expansion of gov't under his watch. Yet i am more understanding as to why.
By Nunyabiz on 04/23 03:51 PM
ROTFL You can actually spew such BS with a straight face after what we have suffered though the past 8 years? LOL Plus you are dead wrong anyway. There is no point in responding to someone like you would be a waste of my time.
By capitalist on 04/23 01:45 PM
Nunyabiz, you are so far left i don't think you can understand logic, but I'll try to explain a few things anyway. Fascism is primarily the joining of BIG Government and BIG Business. there is only one party that openly supports the combining of gov't and business, and that is the democrat/liberal party. Of course they say they promote the regulation of business for our protection, but in reality it is a way for the few to exercise power over the many. Large corporations are usually for this since it guarantees their position as top dogs on the economic ladder. Nothing like having friends in high places to get done what you need done. The Republican party in principle is against such an absurd idea. We advocate a small gov't that is detached from the workings of our daily lives and tries to persuade and influence our behavior through regulation and taxes. educate yourself on something other than liberal nonsense. just an idea.
By more or less on 04/23 12:52 PM
Nunya, Actually, I understood but found the premise to be so absurd that I inverted it to make it fit the facts of the case. Any group that angrily shouted down a guest speaker promoted by a group with a name like "Students for Latino Civilization" or "Students Unite for Palestine" would be instantly tagged as a hate group. A similar disruption of a group designed to celebrate European culture is, for some reason, lauded as a heroic act, on par with the 1964 freedom rides or something. That's silly.
By Nunyabiz on 04/23 11:31 AM
Didn't comprehend what Tolokun said did you?
By more or less on 04/23 10:00 AM
Indeed, Tolokun, it may have already started. If a student group were advocating any other civilizational movement or people group other than "Western Civilization", they would have probably been allowed to speak unharassed.
By Nunyabiz on 04/23 09:46 AM
Simply "disagreeing" with a speaker has nothing to do with it. I disagree with about 99% of every politician that opens their mouth, BUT there are many that are clearly either insane or full blown fascist. If a speaker came out and said they think that everyone with a daughter over the age of 5 should sell them to the highest bidder for sex slaves would your view of them be just well 'I disagree" or would you want such garbage run out of town on rail?
By TopAssistant on 04/23 09:06 AM
When are we going to have a discussion on the illegal alien terrorists who are here to kill you? Middle Easterners are traveling to Iran, Brazil, and Venezuela to learn English and Spanish along with terrorist actions. They then come to America to hide in terrorist cells awaiting orders to strike. There are 20-persons a month traveling to Travis County, Texas and having their names changed to Hispanic ones. Why?
By WJ on 04/23 08:59 AM
Boy oh boy, Nunya sure is a liberal fascist. Whatever he/she disagrees with needs to be shut down. Hey Virgil, so based on your sarcastic tone, if a left-wing speaker is yelled at during their presentation, and the protesters are arrested that would be against freedom of expression. If I block you from speaking by yelling over you, that is freedom of expression? Excellent logic?
By TopAssistant on 04/23 08:45 AM
I wonder what the punishments will be for them. Have they ever studied the cost of illegal immigration has to the environment, taxes, jobs, medical system, schools, etc? What about illegal alien terrorists? We k now they have been entering the U.S. for years now hiding out as illegal alien Hispanics.
By Nunyabiz on 04/23 08:20 AM
hmm that link got messed up somehow. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitlaufer
By Nunyabiz on 04/23 07:49 AM
Yeah and standing by and peacefully protesting and allowing such extremist like Tancredo and Goode to spew their hate is basically why this country is in the condition it is in today. There were large protest the day bush stole office in 2000 & 04' but the mainstream media completely ignored it because it was totally peaceful. look what we got. There were large protest over the lies told by the Bush administration about Iraq, again the MSM totally ignored 100s of 1000s of protesters because they should have protested the media themselves and FORCED them to report it. We got into an unjust & illegal occupation costing the lives of over 1 million Iraqi's and 4500 US soldiers because of that. In Germany in the 30s the people that stood around and did nothing when the reich wing extremist took over were called "Mitlaufers" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitläufer We need more students like this standing up for what is right and not putting up with lies and hate speech being spread in their school. I disagree with many of the democrats also. I just call him a reich wing extremist because HE IS! Most of the republican party today are virtually insane.
By DMZ on 04/23 07:27 AM
Yeah I agree guys, but where are we when the protesters become more radical than the people you are protesting. Whether you are far right or far left, if you start treading on the other sides right to express their opinion then who is the facist? Listen to yourself nunya, just because you don't agree with his politics and views he is a, "Reich Wing Extremist", "Ostracized from colleges". You might think you are standing up for what is right, but your words sound awfully similar to a lot of right wing extremists. Just remember the ends never justify the means, if you can't support your cause in a respectful, calm, and calculated way you don't deserve the right to support it anyways.
By Nunyabiz on 04/23 07:14 AM
This is what freedom of speech is all about, especially when the speaker is a reich wing extremist. This student group (YWC) is disgusting and should be protested at every possible chance. Groups of lunatics like this should be ostracized from colleges.
By Virgil Goode on 04/23 06:51 AM
Hooray freedom of expression, arrest the protesters. Right? Oh wait...
By Tolokun Omokunde on 04/23 06:41 AM
Is Virgil Goode what Carolina stands for? Why are youth only for western civiliztion? Is ethnic cleansing going to take place at UNC?
