Free Speech Exercised, Tested At UK's Constitution Day | WUKY

So I was doing a bit of digging on Robert "With Jews We Lose" Ransdell and found this gem. Only issue, I'm not sure what aspect of this entire incident is the stupidest - Ransdell's racist rant or the "initial" response from UK Rural Journalism director Al Cross.

The right of free speech was tested however with the appearance of U-S Senate write-in candidate Robert Ransdell who used his allotted time to deliver a racist rant about the "Jewish-owned and controlled media," as well as to "stress the need for this nation's white majority to recognize that they have ethnic interests," before having his microphone cut off by the sound crew.

The horrified high school teachers then hustled their students to their respective buses, prompting this rejoinder from UK Rural Journalism director Al Cross.

"You've just witnessed in this hall a laboratory experiment about the extent and nature of free speech. I think most of you found the remarks of the write-in candidate deeply offensive, however in this country people do have the right to speak, even if their views are offensive. Now organizations can have their own rules about how much access they are going to give people like that but they do have a right to speak," Cross said.

And yes, there are First Amendment issues involved which I may address later on.

Ransdell isn’t only anti-Semitic, he’s a white supremacist. Ransdell laid out his campaign promises on the website Stormfront.org.

“The purpose of this campaign is for it to serve as a medium for pro-White/White Nationalist ideas and principles. The campaign will attempt to expose as many White people as possible to the facts regarding the Jewish role in America's decline as well as highlight the destructive effects that multiculturalism, diversity, and political correctness have had on this country,” he wrote. “This campaign will not simply rest on informing people of the truth but will aim to inspire the people who are reached to work toward solutions to the problems Whites in America face today, solutions that the campaign will provide with much resolve and candor."

Ransdell’s platform is listed on The Renegade Tribune. It includes gems such as “eliminating all foreign aid to non-White third world nations,” solving the “Muslim terror threat” by ending all support to Israel and then deporting all Muslims back to the “Arab world,” and solving the immigration crisis by “adopting a shoot on sight policy.”
