Now back to liberals calling for the end of some kinds of free speech. Any other comments?

I think they are just blowing off steam.

Free speech is what brought us that glorious production referred to as the March on Wall Street and later Occupation. As far as the thoughts here on the board, I think we all agreed that the constitution only safeguards us against government activities that would limit our speech--yet as we saw from the Occupy crowd, they perched on private property and spouted away.

If there was a limit placed on private speech along this line, then the rainbow crowd and gay pride parades where many bash straights would be illegal. Be careful what you wish for.

I heard that A&E had a representative at the interview and did nothing at the time of the interview. They knew what they had and only reacted to GLAD. They didn't think they would get the blow back they got and could silence DUCK.

Now there are some on the left who are saying that such speech should not be considered protected speech. Typical.

Question. From whom did you "hear" that, Berton?

You actually "heard" those tweets? What else do you "hear," voices from . . .?

Why are right wingers so intolerant of gays?

What possible difference can it make to them?
Some of the right wingers are evangelicals who believe homosexual behavior is sinful and can corrupt society as in the biblical sodom and gomorrah story. Others are just uneasy with change from the status quo. Both get played by the GOP for political purposes. It's a lot easier to play off peoples fears and prejudices, than to try and justify supporting the low taxes for billionaires.

I heard about it on TV but since I can not duplicate the TV program I found it on line. Something you could have done yourself if you wanted to actually discuss it. I understand you don't like it when a liberal wants freedom of speech curtailed but that is just the way it is.

In this case it it. The tweet is still on his website: https://twitter.com/piersmorgan
