Our Freedom of Expression Is Killing Us

[DonCoquixote]

116. Here is the problem

Yes, the Terry Jones crowd is evil, but the problem is nothing less than this: ANY, and I do mean ANY speech that advocates change, is bound to be labeled as offensive.

The people who slammed Martin Luther King talked about him as if he was underming every religious and culutral law, because to them, he did, and let's be honest, to many in Dixie, HE STILL DOES!

Margaret Sanger? Susan B. Anthony? Any voice for Women is spoken as of an enemy of religion and culture, and again, we all know that they still are.

There are times when a culutre can and should be challenged, but the problem about including "hate" and "lies" as that any "offened types" will say they are the subject of hate and lies.

It is easy to say "oh, we can just target the Rush Limbaughs" but you know fully well that the lawyers would find a way to stifle the Glenn greenwald and ceny Ugyrs, which means that the only people who can speak freely are those that can A) Afoord the lawyers B) afford the thugs to kill people, which of course, puts anyone on the left at a distinct disadvantage.
