The Left Despises Freedom of Speech

Donald Rumsfeld:

 

Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker:

 

Newt Gingrich:

 

So, I'll ask again: Why do liberals despise the right to free speech?

 

Thank you. Now we all know that neither political party has a monopoly on interrupting speeches. So the real question is not "why does the left hate free speech" but rather, why do people of either party feel compelled to disrupt speeches given by either party? I know that this question is less partisan myopic and comes without the implied pointed finger of blame exclusively and erroneously in one direction, but it is the real issue not the phony blinder laden question the OP plays at.

There are probably a lot of explanations for why people interrupt speeches but I seriously doubt that they do so to because they woke up that morning and decided that they hate free speech. In fact, they seem to be exercising their own right to free speech albeit at the expense of someone else's. Some people probably feel voiceless and feel that yelling out their discontent is necessary. Some may do it to bring attention to themselves or more likely their political cause. Some are just zealots I suppose but then again some of the greatest people in history were zealots. So let’s not judge these people and let us certainly not make the idiotic assumption that they only belong to the Left.

Thanks for posting those, RLM. The Left truly does seem to hate free speech.

As we know leftist professors more and more do not believe in the dialogue of free thought to share and broaden ideas but rather just the mindless feedback of the doctrine they preach.

 

How do "we" know that?

 

You are correct sir. I like anyone else does not know anything unless herr professor and CNBC, CNN, etc tell me.

 

I thought as much. All bravado no substance. Now who is spewing the mindless feedback of the doctrine they preach? Shame on you Andy. God gave you a brain and you choose not to use it.

 

Hey, believe it or not I was once in college and it was true then. Hear reports not from Rush, or Fox but from people in college today and from what I hear reported from them is that it only got worse and some of these people due to their age are liberals yet even with that youthful affliction they could see what is going on.

 

So you know that “leftist professors more and more do not believe in the dialogue of free thought to share and broaden ideas but rather just the mindless feedback of the doctrine they preach”, because you went to college once and people that have been to college since have confirmed what you experienced?
Well I went to college once too. I found that the single most common experience all students had, myself included, was that they were not taught what to think but how to think. I have spoken with other college attendees since and they have all experienced the same thing. I now work in a college and teaching people how to think is the bedrock of all pedagogy regardless of the subject matter. I wonder which one of us is better informed by experience and which one of us is better informed by hearsay?

 

Hey!

...Do dogs have the right to free speech? I'm just wondering 'cause some of them just can't be reasoned with... like Santorum...

Speaking of the mentally impaired... nevermind, I see that Santorum apparently already has the right to speak.

You may continue.

 

I agree with all of your words. A few were misplaced so I straightened them out for you but they are your words not mine. Funny how we turned out agreeing on this so soon.
