Berkeley now a shit-storm. No one could have foreseen.
OK, the wacko Right is all upset, and has their panties all in a bunch, about how Universities, and other Institutions of Higher Learning have denied that they are Learned, or have a place at such institutions. It is interesting to watch, as this is a carefully orchestrated campaign. So, point one:
A four-day parade of right-wing speakers, events and appearances by “alt-right” icons like Steven Bannon and longtime far-right provocateurs including Ann Coulter has collapsed into a disorganized mess with its would-be participants pointing the finger of blame in all directions.

Yes, Rawstory, where much of this comes from. If you do not like this particular news source, may I suggest you go find one that sucks your dick more, you fucking pervert.
And, the trouble seems to be the eternal problem of conservatives not being able to conform to the rules, or even make the deadlines.
The series of events was sponsored by UC Berkeley’s campus conservative newsletter The Daily Patriot, but Patriot staff missed a number of key deadlines for informing the university about “Free Speech Week” and its speakers.
And, of course, it could be worse, and in fact, it is worse. The speakers did not even know they were to be speakers?
More embarrassingly for event organizers — including disgraced former Breitbart.com writer Milo Yiannopoulos — a number of the guest speakers who were promoted as part of the event not only won’t be attending, they never knew their names were being used to promote the event.
I seriously do not know what is more embarrassing, being Milo, or not knowing that people were using "Milo" as a promotional device, for man-boy love, one can only speculate. So there is more. Oh, God, please make it stop!
Conservative social scientist Charles Murray said he was never scheduled to appear at Berkeley despite what the events planners say — and went on to call Yiannopoulos a “despicable a**hole.”
Well, there it is, from a social scientist. When will the alt-right free us from the fake outrage of their speakers? Could we just pay them enough money to go away?
