The real story of my appearance at the University at Buffalo was how campus Left-fascists and Islamic supremacists screamed abuse at me for an hour and a half, such that I was able to say very little. The real story, in other words, is about how Left-fascists on campuses nationwide are increasingly authoritarian, unwilling to allow views that depart from the Leftist establishment agenda to be heard. The real story is about how campus Leftists and their Muslim allies are emulating the Nazi Brownshirts, shouting down and physically menacing campus speakers whose views they hate.
The real story of my appearance at the University at Buffalo is that university campuses today are radioactive wastelands of hard-Left indoctrination, in which any views that dissent from the Leftist line are stigmatized, demonized, and not allowed a fair hearing.
But the New York Times glosses over all that, not surprisingly, since the Times itself is a flagship of the Leftist establishment, and a cheerleader for any effort that marginalizes and silences dissenting voices. So for the Times, the real story is the wealth of and donors to the Young America’s Foundation, which labors tirelessly to try to bring some small measure of free inquiry to university campuses by sponsoring speakers who invite consideration of ideas that are usually forbidden at these Leftist indoctrination centers. For the Times, it’s some sinister and well-heeled effort to hurt the feelings of the poor fragile snowflakes by encouraging thoughtcrime.
The Times’ approach is laughably ironic in light of the massive amounts Soros lavishes upon groups such as the Center for American Progress that further the hard-Left agenda. YAF’s money is a pittance compared to the money Leftist organizations have, and Leftist speakers such as Reza Aslan command speaker fees exponentially larger than mine and Ann Coulter’s as well. Where is the Times article about the Leftist money machine sending hard-Left speakers to campuses to reinforce the propaganda students are being fed by their professors?
Of course, such a piece will never appear in the Times. Instead, we get this whiny, dreary piece: “‘It’s part of a larger systematic and extremely well-funded effort to disrupt public universities and create tension among student groups on campus,’ said Alexandra Prince, a doctoral student at Buffalo who circulated a petition to block Mr. Spencer.” Create tension? Yes: by making students think about uncomfortable truths, issues and perspectives they have been told to ignore and shun as evil.
The one good thing about this ridiculous article is that it features a wonderfully villainous photo of me. The University at Buffalo, not content to let the fascist Brownshirts scream at me unimpeded, also turned up the heat in the room; it was sweltering in there, and they refused requests to turn it down. So we get this marvelous photo of a sweaty, sneering, disheveled thought criminal, fiendishly poisoning snowflakes’ pure minds, and planning to stop on the way out of town to tie a few maidens to the railroad tracks.

“The Conservative Force Behind Speeches Roiling College Campuses,” by Stephanie Saul, New York Times, May 20, 2017:
BUFFALO — “Let’s give it up for the racists that are hosting this event!” someone yelled, and the crowd roared, foot-stomping in unison, then breaking into song: Woody Guthrie’s “This Land Is Your Land.” One member of the audience held up a sign, “Queers Against Islamaphobia.” Another unfurled a banner: “Muslims Welcome. Fascists Get Out.”
Close to 200 students kept up the noise for more than an hour in a University at Buffalo lecture hall on May 1, mostly drowning out the evening’s featured speaker, Robert Spencer, a conservative author and blogger who espouses a dark view of Islam.
The event appeared to follow a familiar script, in which a large contingent of liberals muzzles a provocative speaker invited by a small conservative student club. But the propelling force behind the event — and a number of recent heat-seeking speeches on college campuses — was a national conservative group that is well funded, highly organized and on a mission, in its words, to “restore sanity at your school.”
The group, the Young America’s Foundation, had paid Mr. Spencer’s $2,000 fee, trained the student leader who organized the event and provided literature for distribution. Other than the possibility of outside interference, little had been left to chance….
“It’s part of a larger systematic and extremely well-funded effort to disrupt public universities and create tension among student groups on campus,” said Alexandra Prince, a doctoral student at Buffalo who circulated a petition to block Mr. Spencer.
But Ron Robinson, who has served as Young America’s president for more than three decades, said the group’s goal is simply “to increase appreciation and support of conservative ideas, not to stir up leftists or Muslims.”…
In addition to its fiery speakers and marquee names like Newt Gingrich, the organization’s roster includes many low-fuss speakers like the publisher Steve Forbes and the author Ben Stein. It was not associated with the divisive campus appearances recently made by the right-wing writer Milo Yiannopoulos.
But it does sponsor Mr. Spencer, whose writings, including on his website Jihad Watch, are full of dire warnings about the global threat of radical Islam. His work was cited repeatedly in the 1,500-page manifesto of Anders Behring Breivik, who killed 77 people in Norway in 2011.
Breivik again. If he didn’t exist, the Left would find it necessary to invent him. If the Times had any real journalistic standards, it might ask itself why, if my writings incite violence, Breivik remains the only example of this, and he was six years ago. It might wonder why no one else has been stirred up to kill by my books and articles. The answer is that Breivik wasn’t incited to violence by me either. He was a psychopath who cited a lot of people, including Barack Obama and Gandhi. Are they responsible for him? He counseled working with al-Qaeda and Hamas, so his ideas and mine are not the same, but even if they were, is every idea discredited because someone commits violence over it? Was abolitionism discredited by John Brown?
Given the current climate, Mr. Spencer’s Buffalo speech was virtually guaranteed to cause a commotion. Even so, Mr. Robinson said he was surprised by the reaction.
“If you disagree with Spencer to that extent, don’t come to his lecture, don’t call attention to him,” Mr. Robinson said in an interview at the group’s modern offices, where photos of the Reagan Ranch and of influential conservative leaders are on display.
“If you’re 17, 18, 19, 20 years old, do not say that a person doesn’t have the right to express their ideas, and other people to hear those ideas,” he said. “That’s not the United States I understand and it’s not what the American college education should be about.”…
Mr. Spencer was invited to the University at Buffalo by a Young Americans for Freedom chapter organized in the past year. It was no match for a much larger Muslim Student Association, which organized a 1960s-style sit-in at the lecture hall that began hours before Mr. Spencer arrived.
About 30 minutes before his speech, many members of the group, as well as non-Muslim sympathizers, had nearly filled the hall.
A small group of Young Americans for Freedom members gathered near the front, looking buttoned up in business attire and taking on expressions of disgust.
“It’s one of the most disrespectful displays I’ve seen in my life,” said one member, Patrick Weppner, a sophomore majoring in computer science.
When he was able to talk above the noise, Mr. Spencer cited excerpts from the Quran as evidence that the text is used as justification for violence.
During a question-and-answer session, Pasha Syed, an imam from a local mosque, cited a New Testament passage about killing one’s enemies. Mr. Spencer said the difference was that the Quran entreats followers to violence.
There is actually no passage in the New Testament about killing one’s enemies. Syed was misrepresenting a parable of Jesus regarding the divine judgment.
“Jihad is obligatory for everyone able to perform it, male and female, and it is definitely warfare that they are talking about,” Mr. Spencer said. An audience member yelled out, “You are not an intellectual, sir!” prompting a new round of heckling from the crowd.
Incisive, thought-provoking response! In any case, I wasn’t at that point citing the Qur’an, but an Al-Azhar-endorsed Islamic legal manual, which explains that defensive jihad is obligatory upon every Muslim when an Islamic land is attacked. This was garbled in the Times, but I have to give them some slack since the fascists were screaming so loud I was rarely given time to construct a rational argument.
Mr. Spencer warned that the audience would live to regret its behavior. “The forces you are enabling are going to come back to haunt you,” he said.
Indeed.
Papa Whiskey says
Mr. Spencer warned that the audience would live to regret its behavior. “The forces you are enabling are going to come back to haunt you,” he said.
One can certainly imagine some future Islamic SS carrying out a “Night of the Long Knives” against a leftist SA, as happened in Germany in 1934.
mortimer says
The Leftards are inviting the censorship of ALL debate. That will lead to the imposition either of Sharia law censorship or Leftist totalitarian censorship.
Censorship leads to one-party rule and rule of a president-for-life dictatorship which often turns into a HEREDITARY DICTATORSHIP.
The Leftards are CLUELESS about Islam, because they have read NO BOOK about Islam and NO primary, source text of Islam.
Shane says
Liberals today are liberal fascists who try to silence and punish anyone who disagrees with liberal dogma. Liberalism is the new religion of many on the left and believers in this false religion are very intolerant!
Daniel says
It is ironic isn’t it that Antifa and Ben Afleck etc label anyone against Islam as being fascist – even after living through 9-11 and all the other terror attacks. The reality is that Islam is the biggest fascist threat the World has ever seen period. We are living in bizarre world. The left are the ones who should be protesting against Islamic infiltration. The fact that they want to ally with Islam is complete lunacy and goes against their supposed core secular principles.
Jayke says
Robert, I love your sense of humor and the way you ridicule the ridiculous Left. Ridicule is a great weapon as taught by their prophet Alinsky. It is also a weapon they use quite often and one they most fear. The way these “socialists” have ruined most of our universities would be funny if it wasn’t so sad.
Guest says
Robert, how about creating a table with all the characteristics of fascism, showing how both these Left Fascists and Islam fit the bill? Ex muslim Hamed Abdel Samad has published a book: ‘Islamic Fascism’ very relevant to this https://www.amazon.com/Islamic-Fascism-Hamed-Abdel-Samad/dp/1633881245.
And then put a link to that table right at the top of your page, showing the world that supporting islamic supremacism and these violent campus Leftists actually makes them fascists.
mortimer says
Guest, you have my permission to create that tool. I think we all know the Brownshirts.
Guest says
My attempt would carry no weight. Robert’s would.
mortimer says
What? The periodic table of the elements carries no weight?
I wrote many things that are quoted every day and no one knows my name.
traci94 says
Robert,
For what it is worth, I think you are very courageous and brave! I really admire you and other truth tellers for proclaiming the truth in spite of circumstances like these. Thank you so much for all that you do.
I am a little uneasy because I have a daughter going off to university in the fall; I will be appalled if I see her acting (or hear of her acting) in this manner!
I would love to see you speak and would love to ask tons of questions, but I couldn’t hold up seeing you in an environment like this. The fact that you withstood this kind of abuse for an hour and a half really is a testament to your character and moral fortitude.
Thanks once again for standing up and stating the truth, especially in light of all the ugliness and crap that comes your way!
Signed, a real fan (not like the kind in Iceland!).
pennant8 says
A commenter about this from a previous article hit it out of the park. It was in response to a photo of the individual holding the sign that read QUEERS AGAINST ISLAMOPHOBIA. The commenter suggested a sign reading QUEERS AGAINST BEING TOSSED OFF ROOFTOPS.
Mockingjay says
Tssk tssk tssk… Robert Spencer and his “dark view of Islam”, eh.
– If only he would espouse a happy view of islam, then all would be fine!
– If only we ALL could share in this happy view of islam! Everything would be fine! The world would be a happy place!
– We need more journalists who come up with solutions like this!
People that go right to the root of the problem!
What brilliance! What inspiration!
Michael Copeland says
Indeed, no doubt a strict interpretation of a dark view.
Carolyne says
If Mr. Spencer has a dark view of Islam, it is because Islam is itself dark and murky. The New York Times, the premier fake news rag, is a failing enterprise because many people no longer read or subscribe to it. It has sunk to a new low by publishing as the truth, an article about a so-called memo which was read by a third party anonymously to a reporter who then published it as the truth. No one so far has publically claimed to have seen the actual memo, we have no way of knowing if it exists, and it could have been written at any time, even after Mr. Comey was fired.
I have heard Mr. Spencer speak on TV. There is nothing he says which is untrue. There is an Imam who wears a funny white hat, who frequently appears as a counterpoint to Mr. Spencer and he babbles throughout Mr. Spencer’s time and makes it difficult to hear him. One wonders why the Imam’s microphone isn’t just cut off until it is his turn, but of course we know the reason.
The Washington Post and the New York Times are, IMO, betraying the country by publishing accusations which cannot be verified and they are doing it intentionally.
mortimer says
TOTAL BS … “Given the current climate, Mr. Spencer’s Buffalo speech was virtually guaranteed to cause a commotion. Even so, Mr. Robinson said he was surprised by the reaction”.
The Leftards don’t accept their responsibility for CREATING VIOLENCE.
What the Counterjihad wants is to debate the BEST the Left can put up. There’s no one. So they resort to censorship and violence, because they have NO ARGUMENT.
If the Left are so INTELLECTUAL, WHAT IS their INTELLECTUAL argument.

How is exposing the savagery of Islam “racist”? Islam is not a race.
And I’m afraid that these queers would do very well under Shari’ah law:
“Chechen authorities are arresting and killing gay men”

Having speakers representing a range of views is “disrupting public universities”? I thought exposing students to a range of views was *the purpose* of a university.

But it does sponsor Mr. Spencer, whose writings, including on his website Jihad Watch, are full of dire warnings about the global threat of radical Islam.

So–the New York Times does not have a problem with “radical Islam” and Jihad terror? Why not?

What crap. Spencer has roundly condemned Breivik, who has said how he admires the tactics of Al Qaida. Robert Spencer has never espoused violence.

In other words, screaming and drowning a peaceful speaker out is considered a ‘reasonable’ response by this ugly “journalist”. *Ugh*.

no_one says
The imam lied about the New Testament. The Lord told us to love our enemies, bless those who curse us and gave us a great example on the cross. Taqiya again.
Martin says
They are so eager to discuss the idea of incitement when it comes to Breivik, who was one man, but they treat it as unreasonable to want to discuss incitement when it’s muslims using their religion as an excuse to oppress, brutalize and kill people on a daily basis across the globe.
Michael Copeland says
Remind me again, was it not Breivik who said “Kill them wherever you find them”?
J Kay says
The Left was overjoyed when Breivik committed his atrocious act; they finally could attempt to say that a Christian committed an act of terrorism (although he said he wasn’t a practicing Christian). Before him, they had to reach way back to Timothy McVeigh.
But, no matter! Neither man could quote Christian scripture as his reason to commit terror since nothing of that kind exists in the New Testament.
Where it does exist is in Islam, like it or not!!
Mark Spahn (West Seneca, NY) says
[1] Unless I missed it, the NYT article by Stephanie Saul does not explain the relationship between the Young Americans for Freedom and the Young America’s Foundation.
[2] “[O]ne member [of Young Americans for Freedom], Patrick Weppner, [is] a sophomore majoring in computer science.” I wonder whether Patrick is related to Kathy Weppner, who a few years ago ran unsuccessfully for Congress from Western New York:
http://buffalonews.com/2014/03/07/kathy-from-williamsville-announces-campaign-to-unseat-higgins/
[3] Judging from the photo of Robert Spencer, if he ever tires of this jihad gig, he has a good career ahead of him as a character actor. He has a versatile appearance, and his facial hair and knowledge of Islam make him perfect for jihadi mastermind roles, both “moderate” and radical.
Mark Spahn (West Seneca, NY) says
Correction: About [1], the NY Times article explains: “The [Young America’s F]oundation has more than 250 high school and college campus chapters, known as Young Americans for Freedom, which was originally a separate organization.”
David wilson says
I fear the west is a sinking ship, they are buying a caliphate, oil dollars are floating down like confetti.
gravenimage says
Mr. Spencer, I don’t think you appear “villainous” in that photo at all. Yes–it is not the most appealing photograph, but you look a bit disheveled at worst.
This is an old trick–if you have nothing rational to say against someone, find an unflattering photograph of them. I consider this low whoever the target.
underbed cat says
The photo is not villainous at all. Where was the security…it they didn’t want to hear they would have stayed home, so they just want to disrupt ….I would have called for security….or bring an actor imam to the stage and debate with his idea’s which they have never truthfully heard, telling the truth that is…. the students missed an opportunity to listen, they need to the truth.
Chaos in kindergarten brings chaos in universities.
Lynne says
Mr. Spencer, you are a true hero. I am amazed that you can still go on after experiencing what you have to educate the west. We all should be thanking you and all the others who try to do the same. God bless you.
mgoldberg says
I saw the photo and as I knew the detailing of the heat being turned up at the U of Buffalo’s room, I thought the picture was closer to Jack Kerouac or Neil Cassidy in their 50’s. Hell, they would’ve been on
your side Robert, if they could see and hear how the dreadful left is now just a retooled marxist self deception disorder with a ‘progressive’ fantasy disorder., masking the tyranny they grow as their sustenance.
dumbledoresarmy says
I wonder what would have happened if Mr Spencer had brought along his saxophone and, when they all started screaming, had begun to play a riff or two on some suitably apposite song or movie theme tune. (Does anybody want to make some suggestions?) It might at least have given them pause, because it would be the *last* thing they would expect.
Relic says

No Fear says
The leftist socialists supported the muslims in Iran when the Shah was ousted in the 1970s. After the Shah was gone the ‘glorious’ Islamic republic took over and the leftists were shot by the hundreds.
PRCS says
Like so many who don’t do their homework, the idiot James Jacobs posted a rant at that NYT article—thinking the speaker was the white nationalist Richard Spencer.
Of course, his letter garnered huge likes.
J Kay says
Like the idiot faculty and students at Middlebury College, Vt who disrupted Charles Murray’s talk on Coming Apart, his book that deals with the opportunity gap between the US lower and Upper classes, because of The Bell Curve, a book he wrote in 1994 that none of them had read but which they’d heard was racist because it suggested that IQ might have something to do with genes.
Georg says
“Queers Against Islamaphobia.” Another unfurled a banner: “Muslims Welcome. Fascists Get Out.”
What an embarrassment. Have to hand it to the modern establishment’s success in getting so many to hate themselves. Feel bad for the rest of us sensitive to the idiocy of it all.

I imagine that crowd had their selfies and cell phones texting each other to come to the event as the “mighty minions of the Obama left” the svengali master Obama left his legacy of trash. Yes definitely a bleak future with these mindless creatures stomping resistance to sanity and information. I agree they may some day regret that the information suppression they were so good at , will bring a rude awakening of fascism.
My first question would be,who here has every heard of Mohammed or read the Quran? Who has ever heard of Daniel Pearl? Then show the results of totalitarian thought….that might settle them down.
Vivarto says
Robert,
you are weakening your language by using term “left-fascists”.
Just FASCISTS is sufficient.
Fascists and Nazis were leftists.
dumbledoresarmy says
I went and read the whole nasty, sneering, almost entirely fact-free hit-piece, and then I read the 574 comments.
Pretty depressing stuff: all the Useful Idiots parroting the line that Mr Robert Spencer is fascist/ nazi/ racist/ misogynist/ ignorant/ extremist/ inciting trouble for fun, etc etc etc and so forth.
The confusion of ROBERT Spencer with someone else entirely, the *actual* neonazi ‘RICHARD Spencer’ *was* noticed and pointed out by some commenters – but one such commenter then complacently revealed their total ignorance of Robert Spencer’s character and body of work, by squawking, “I never heard of Robert Spencer before now…I thought it was Richard Spencer.
Oh well, a neo-Nazi white supremacist is a neo-Nazi white supremacist.”
HOW anyone could call our Mr Robert Spencer a ‘neo-Nazi white supremacist’ I cannot fathom. NO-ONE with any wit who had ever heard Mr Spencer (Robert) speak, or read his books, or read – as I have – everything he has written at this website since its inception, could ever reach the conclusion he was ‘neo-Nazi white supremacist’. The accusation is so wide of the mark that it boggles the mind.
Only one person peddling this sort of nonsense claimed to have concluded that Robert Spencer was perpetratign ‘hate speech” by reading him – though HOW she reached such conclusions, if she actually did read his books, beats me.
(I quote the relevant exchange. First, a brave defender of Mr Robert Spencer:
Stewart Hayes
Cost Rica 10 hours ago
“The problem with your comment is that Robert Spencer is not a ‘hate monger’. The article attempts to characterize him as such but if you have read his work or listened to him you could not honestly say he was.”
To which our liar or deluded Islamophile responded thus:
Christine
Manhattan 10 hours ago
“Stewart, I have read Robert Spencer — and no, I’m not confusing him with Richard — and in my view he is a hate monger. ” (??? !!!! – dda)
“But don’t take my word — or your word — for it. I encourage people to go google and read Robert Spencer’s own words and judge for themselves.”
(O well: let’s be thankful for small mercies; this ‘Christine’ may well have shot herself in the foot by giving that piece of advice; let us hope that many who may have read her comments – and many who read the article – might have been just curious enough to do just that – google up Mr Spencer’s words – perhaps his “Blogging the Quran”??? – or even read one of his books… and…. **find out that ‘Stewart’ is RIGHT and that Christine is WRONG and that Mr Spencer is no more of a ‘hate monger’, as regards his warnings about Islam, sharia, and the jihad, as was Winston Churchill when delivering warnings about Mein Kampf, Nazism, and Herr Hitler’s intentions, during the mid-1930s. – dda)
The only bright spots were comments posted by just two or three sane, decent, sensible people who owned up to having read Spencer’s – our Robert Spencer’s – works, and insisted that he had a point, and that he was NOT any of the nasty things that were being claimed about him.
Here is *the* stand-out comment.
Lev Tsitrin
Brooklyn, NY 15 hours ago
“I did listen to Mr. Spenser and he is a most sensible speaker.
“That he should be silenced — at a college of all places, a space where search for the reality and facts should be paramount — is a very sad comment on the state of our society.
“The person in the audience who,according to the acrtile, “unfurled a banner: “Muslims Welcome. Fascists Get Out” in an attempt to silence a speaker and stifle debate, and his fellows who stomped and shouted over the speaker, are anti-freedom fascists, not the other way around…
“And — BTW — “a *dark* view of Islam” is not necessarily a *wrong* view. Just give this, and prior issues of the New York Times a read.”
Good on you, Mr Tsitrin.
dumbledoresarmy says
Correction to my posting immediately above – for “…Mr Spencer is no more of a ‘hate monger’, as regards his warnings about Islam, sharia, and the jihad, as was Winston Churchill when delivering warnings about Mein Kampf, Nazism, and Herr Hitler’s intentions, during the mid-1930s…” read “…Mr Spencer is no more of a ‘hate monger’, as regards his warnings about Islam, sharia, and the jihad, than was Winston Churchill when delivering warnings about Mein Kampf, Nazism, and Herr Hitler’s intentions, during the mid-1930s…”.
Kay says
What fortitude! Thank you Robert Spencer for continuing to speak out in spite of all these ridiculous accusations.
The NYT criticizing the student group seems actually to be a deflection. By the news of riots, it seems to me that the group that is well-organized and well-funded and intends to disrupt is not the young Republicans. Rather it’s the other group that calls themselves antifascists and brings their own little terrors.
J Kay says
The irony here is that when a totalitarian regime takes over, the first to be eliminated are those on the left: university professors, journalists as well as student activists who will be heading for the hills or back to mom and dad’s basement.
Robert Spencer draws a direct line between Islamic doctrine and Islamic extremism, yet somehow he’s the bad guy. Talk about shooting the messenger!! It’s an insane world we live in. Mr Spencer deserves credit for speaking the truth. History will vindicate him.
Carol Fell says
Mr Spencer you are one brave and admirable gentleman. I heard you speak in Cincinnati a couple of weeks ago and you are delivering a message that all need to heed. Please continue to speak out and attempt to educate the masses. I am appalled at the behavior of so many at our colleges and universities—they are being brain washed by the well funded Soros and other far left machines–I hope parents are aware of this move within so many of the houses of higher learning. Thank You!

NYT is a propaganda machine gun.
Matthieu Baudin says
“…The real story of my appearance at the University at Buffalo is that university campuses today are radioactive wastelands of hard-Left indoctrination, in which any views that dissent from the Leftist line are stigmatized, demonized, and not allowed a fair hearing…”
The chickens have come home to roost! The radical agenda of the late ’60’s/early ’70’s ‘cultural revolution’ generation has finally come to the boil; a young college undergraduate nowadays, trying to shout down alternative voices, is likely to be following in her or his grandparents footsteps. This movement, largely ‘homegrown’, was also supported and groomed clandestinely by the old well oiled Soviet propaganda/disinformation apparatus. There must be some old retired hands in Russia today who regret to see this movement beginning to drag down their own young people.
