Who is attacking free speech and who is not?


It gets confusing when the left is not unanimously lined up behind the same PC line, lies, distortions, and all.



OK, Dershowitz and friends really are attacking free speech, though Booman is right.

The efforts of BDS, if successful, would come close to making the Israeli government as toxic - to use the exact word of the liberal Booman, who follows general liberal practice in that usage - as de Klerk's in the world according to PC because they would make the very ideas of a Jewish State and a two-state solution in Palestine as toxic as those of white domination and apartheid in South Africa, exactly as the movement intends.

Asner and Sheen were also attacking the freedom of expression both of the makers of Zero Dark Thirty and, for that matter, of the members of the National Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.

(Did I get the name right?)

Those who criticize Dershowitz for an effort in defiance of free speech are right.

Those who deny Asner and Sheen were attacking free speech are liars.

Just as those who successfully attacked Pat Buchanan and Helen Thomas and Juan What's His Name - the black guy who ended up on Fox - and so many others were quite intentionally attacking free speech, GG included, with the specific purpose of "toxifying" certain kinds of speech throughout the American major media, once and for all.

And could any purpose be more alien and inimical to the cherished American value of free speech or the spirit of the First Amendment?

Really?

I ask you.

But you might see it otherwise.
