LOS ANGELES – University of Southern California’s College Republicans hosted conservative writer David Horowitz for a recent speech on campus and it prompted what’s being described as the “lamest protest ever.”

Amy Lutz, program officer for Young America’s Foundation, posted pictures and updates of the silent protest to Twitter – students with tape over their mouths forming a human chain along the side of the classroom, Twitchy reports.

“They’re going with ‘free speech not hate speech.’ How original,” Lutz wrote during Horowitz’s visit Wednesday.

“At least it’s a silent protest for now,” she posted, along with a picture of the group holding hands, and turning their heads away from the action.

“Horowitz just called them snowflakes,” she wrote.

All of the students reportedly remained quiet, simply standing in silence throughout the demonstration.

“USC protesters stand strong against #freespeech,” Lutz tweeted. “I really don’t get the tape over the mouth thing. They come to protest someone else’s free speech by silencing their own.”

After about six minutes, the group walked quietly out of the room.

“Protesters literally just walked out,” Lutz posted at 10:40 p.m. “Lamest. Protest. Ever.”

Horowitz was on campus for an event titled “Stop the Jew Hatred: How Anti-Semitism is Perpetuated on College Campuses,” according to the Daily Trojan.

Lida Dianti, who writes a “That’s So Racist!” column for the student publication, attempted to put opposition to Horowitz on campus into words, highlighting his alleged comments about Black Lives Matter, Muslim Student Associations, and others.

She labeled his perspective on Jewish-Palestinian relations as “hate speech” while defending pro-Palestine student groups as “anti-Zionist” rather than “anti-Semitic.”

“What the College Republicans need to understand is that criticizing Horowitz is not an attack on freedom of speech but rather on hate speech,” Dianti wrote.

“Anti-Semitism is an important topic that needs to be addressed, but doing so does not give students a free pass to slander Muslims and belittle Palestinian students and their allies,” she groaned. “All students are entitled to their opinions on the Arab-Israeli conflict, and those same students deserve to be treated with respect regardless of their political and ethnic affiliations.”

Essentially, the column made about as much sense as the “lamest protest ever.”

“LOL, protect me from scary ideas!” Major Variola wrote in response to Dianti’s column.

“Controlling, let along prosecuting, free speech makes you a facist,” E Lund wrote. “If he speaker’s content isn’t to your liking, then don’t attend. Grow up!”

“Yet more ‘hate speech isn’t free speech’ blather,” obamaiscarter posted. “Free speech and so-called ‘hate speech’ are the same thing. The First Amendment protects what the ‘genius’ who wrote the above ‘editorial’ is calling ‘hate speech.’ Even more ridiculous is the notion that any criticism of the Black Lives Movement is racist.”
