Former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon is scheduled to come to UC Berkeley later this month as part of a four-day event organized by his former Breitbart employee and conservative firebrand Milo Yiannopoulos.

The event is titled “Berkeley Free Speech Week” and is set to begin Sept. 24, the latest in a series of planned speaking engagements by notable conservatives in the liberal enclave. Bannon “will deliver short remarks” on the final day of the event, according to a news release announcing the engagement.

Steve Bannon to speak at 'Free Speech Week' event at UC Berkeley - LA Times

How Exciting, a WHOLE WEEK!

Let's see if the Left can get their heads out of their asses for the occasion.
 
Absolutely.

Liberals gotta' stand-up for free speech. I'm both shocked and a little depressed at what's become of our campuses. So sad.

Yes, because college kids in CA are representative of the entire left. Way to start another liberal hatefest, hawk!

BRAVO

As a former Liberal and one of DP's Premier free mind/free speech advocates I find the decline of Berkeley to be alarming.

I argue that you should as well.

Why would anyone bother to lift a finger to be bothered with that 'occasion'?

Bannon is a pathetic, run-of-the-mill fringe dweller and a drunk.

There is nothing he could possible say bothering to hear to any rational adult familiar with him.

An Old Liberal would tell you the swearing off violence while being bored as the "Joker" (in quotes because I agree with Bannon at times, much of what he said on 60 minutes was right) wasted everyones time speaking his piece is the right approach.

That's quite irrelevant to what I posted.
