In reply to the discussion: The Limits of Free Speech [View all]Agnosticsherbet
(11,619 posts)In my own post I asked for clarification. If we are going to limit free speech as they do in Europe who gets to decide what the limits are?
The Current Republican Congress with a President of like mind would have very different ideas about what speech is acceptable.
I have a strong dislike of racism of all flavors, whether white supremacists rhetoric, racial epithets, anti-Semitism, or any other brand.
Under the Bush Administration, the President set up "Free Speech Zones" where protestors could have their free speech and he never had to see or hear it.
So if someone is going to suggest putting limits on free speech, I would like to know how they propose making sure that someone does not add limits to free speech most of us would equate with tyranny.
