A reminder that there are few friends for free speech.
-- DeSelby
no shit ! ! ! but, (here's the really uncomfortable part) *MOST* pwogwessives and their websites (including here *gasp*) do NOT 'believe in' NOR PRACTICE Free Speech...
hee hee hee
Please send more copies of the Constitution to the White House
George is running low on toilet paper...
-- Parson Jim
say, parson, do pwogwessives have any obligation to honor the constitution and the concept of Free Speech, or are they exempt, 'cause -you know- they are the Good Guys and only CENSOR for -you know- Good Reasons ? ? ?
ho ho ho
We have many (not a few here) that can see the control freak nature of the opposition, but not the control freak impulses of their own. They need your help there ol' sage of the net. (no, that was not sarcasm)
If all people were adults and all agreed to do these acts then the constitution protects their right to do so as does any rational idea of liberty. It may be stupid; it may be sick; it may be repulsive: but it is legal in a free country.
-- heru-ur
geezie peezie, don't i know how repulsive so-called pwogs find Free Speech to be ! ! ! you are richtig on the kontrol freak aspect: *MANY* faux progressives WANT an authoritarian regime, it is just that they want THEMSELVES (you know, the Good Guys) to be the authoritarians, NOT the (you know) Bad Gus ! ! !

This IMHO is the kind of "stuff" that separates the true advocates of what freedom is really all about versus the pablum we "think" represents freedom. Further, the real shame of it all, as I see it, is that most people would probably go crazy with the desire to imprison this guy or just plain crucify him. Which says a whole lot about how much people understand about freedom of expression.
Glenn, my hat's off to you sir! If Salon.com had a "Fearless Freedom Warrior" award I'd nominate you.

oopsy daisy, if saloon.com had a 'Practice What You Preach' award in regards to the constitution and Free Speech, gee gee would definitely NOT be a nominee...

Secondarily, he is strong on free speech issues, and likely would never feel comfortable with any kind of censorship conviction. On the other hand, I don't think he would raise an eyebrow at rape or assault charges. Frankly, I tend to agree.
Canuckistan Bob
really ? "strong on free speech issues" ? really ?
does that involve ACTUALLY PRACTICING Free Speech, or just speechifying real good about abstract Free Speech ? ? ?
but, you know, i'm confused and delusional...
People here obsess over who is in power and who is not precisely because we know that the law is always defined by the powerful. Since when have the powerless ever had any say in things?
acheybreaky
true enough... and the CENSORS make the laws (sic) around here, and we are powerless otherwise...
but we call that Free Speech 'cause hypocritical pwogs close their eyes real tight when looking in the mirror...
