The First Amendment does not protect all speech in all circumstances dlk Nov 2024 #4

Perhaps your "point" has not been fully thought out? tritsofme Nov 2024 #9

I disagree dlk Nov 2024 #10

Speech restrictionists generally aren't great at thinking through the consequences of their actions. tritsofme Nov 2024 #13

I'd say it in a slightly different way, but yes, all of the right wing media allowed vicious lies to be spread. groundloop Nov 2024 #7
