IMHO? Righties will talk shit about the opposition. The left will silence them.Why is it the partisans cannot grasp that free speech is a function of the Govt, not of private companies.
Why can't you grasp that the OP is talking about the general inability of progressives to even tolerate opposing viewpoints?
Yeah, and it is just the progressives...please. The idiots on both ends of the spectrum are basically identical.
I disagree. You don't see rightist groups stopping leftist speakers, you don't see progressive videos being taken down in the same way as conservative/libertarian ones.
I think most progressive ideas are idiotic, but I have no desire to stop people from spewing them out if they so choose.
Progressives have been shown to be far less accommodating of ideas they don't like.
We have a "rightie" president that has openly spoken of shutting down a news network he does not like.
Yes, he "talked" about it. I haven't seen any action.
