Josh Hawley’s book dropped by Simon & Schuster following Capitol Hill riot

[Mac-7]

Simon and Schuster don't have the power to ban books.

They banned them as much as they were able

just as one bonfire could not burn all the books in nazi germany

S&S is just doing its small part

 

[colfax_m]

They banned them as much as they were able

Which is not at all.

There is no ban on Hawley’s book.

 

[Mac-7]

There is no ban on Hawley’s book.

There is at S&S

 

[colfax_m]

There is at S&S

Do you think that they are required to publish every book that people send them?

Or just the ones by snowflake Republicans?

 

[Mac-7]

Do you think that they are required to publish every book that people send them?

No

and neither were the nazis required to burn every book in the library

just the ones they dont like

 

[colfax_m]

No

No one’s freedom of speech cannot subordinate anyone else’s.

Which is what you’re demanding.

 

[Mac-7]

No one’s freedom of speech cannot subordinate anyone else’s.

What on the hell does that mean?

S&S banned the books even if yiu are unwilling to admit it

Simon and Schuster can’t ban books. They don’t have that power.

Simon and Schuster has free speech rights too. Their decision to not publish a book is because they have the freedom of speech. If you demand they publish Hawley’s book, you are violating their rights.

 

[Mac-7]

Simon and Schuster can’t ban books. They don’t have that power.

We already covered that but I say it again

when the fascists built a bonfire they could not burn all the books in germany - just the ones they could get their hands on

and the same goes for S&S

they just do their small part like good little nazis

Except you still have it wrong.

You want to elevate your rights (and Hawley’s rights) over those of Simon and Schuster. You don’t get to do that. We all have equal rights.

The fuck they did. They are refusing to PAY him for it dimwit

He stepped on his own dick.

Libs banning books is the same as burning them

Josh Hawley does not have a constitutional right to have his book published by Simon and Schuster.

Maybe you don't know this, but he does.

Who is talking about constitutional issues? Mac is talking about a mindset, and you ignored his point because you don't want to answer it.

Yes, the mindset of a publisher not wanting to be associated with Hawley is the same mindset that led to the Holocaust.

This idea is absolute insanity and you should join me in calling it out.

Hawley is making it a constitutional issue, didn't you see his alligator tear stained statement?

These people have officially jumped the shark and like Caesar - "Crossed the Rubicon" ... a Fascist Authoritarian reference used by the asshole mob who followed Rump's seditious orders and staged a violent insurrection. It's one of the most dangerous things I've witnessed in my 62 years.

Julius Caesar's crossing the Rubicon river on January 10, 49 BC precipitated the Roman Civil War, which ultimately led to Caesar's becoming dictator and the rise of the imperial era of Rome. Caesar had been appointed to a governorship over a region that ranged from southern Gaul to Illyricum. Wikipedia

Fascists cannot tolerate opposition

You'd better hit the WikiLickyPedias and study up on "Fascism". Trump is a Fascist. Hawley is a Fascist. Anyone who follows them and the mob they incited CLEARLY cannot tolerate opposition and are themselves - Fascists.

Trump is a Fascist? What was it that gave it away?

Was it his control of the media?

His control of the judges?

How he attacked your "fweedoms"?

His treatment of the Jews?

His love of his country?

I guess you are ready for the left to rock and roll while you cheer them on

I doubt they can drop the contract because they don't like him now.

Don’t worry your little head. They have lawyers write these contracts to protect themselves. There’s a million ways to bail on a contract.

And he has lawyers who review the contract to protect him.

 

[colfax_m]

He’s a lawyer. Supposedly a smart one. If the contract was violated, I imagine we’d have heard him say so.

Instead we got some pablum about the first amendment.

If you actually read the statment, he said first amendment, then said something about setting up a lawsuit, not suing them over the first amendment.

You’re right. My mistake.

In regard to Simon and Schuster cancelling Senator Hawley’s book, they explicitly stated:

.
“We did not come to this decision lightly,” Simon & Schuster added. “As a publisher it will always be our mission to amplify a variety of voices and viewpoints: at the same time we take seriously our larger public responsibility as citizens, and cannot support Senator Hawley after his role in what became a dangerous threat to our democracy and freedom.”

Senator Hawley’s “role” was objecting to the certification of the votes, which I might add was within his right to do so as a Senator. And for exercising that right, representing his constituents views, Simon and Schuster, carrying water for the communist/socialist controlled Democrat Party Leadership, cancelled his book, “The Tyranny of Big Tech”, in which he argues “… big tech companies, such as Facebook and Google, represent the gravest threat to American liberty since the monopolies of the Gilded Age.”

.First the President is cut off, then the WalkAway Facebook page is taken down, then Sen. Hawley’s book is cancelled . . . seems to me there is a pattern developing to cancel conservative speech. The “cancel culture movement” is on full display, and participated in by big tech, the handmaiden of the communist/socialist Democrat Party Leadership!

Are we really to believe there is no concerted effort by a number of powerful actors to do the dirty work of the communist/socialist controlled Democrat Party Leadership [shut down conservative speech] which our First Amendment forbids them to do?
