The right to free speech is not a right to free publishing by others. It is not a right to demand an audience; it is not a right to agreement or acceptance. It is a right to speak your mind without being locked up for it. (So long as you do not slander)
If conservatives want their own version of free speech, they can create their own platforms and quit leeching off of others and whining about how unfair it is. If someone came into my home and spouted bullcrap, I’d politely invite them to leave. They can do that in their own homes with their own people.
I don’t piss and moan about the feces that passes as “news” on the Fox news Entertainment Channel as it’s their outhouse and they target a specific audience.
Debate? Ideas? Conservatives haven’t offered any close to that for over 12 years! Not accepting the attacks, derision, and obfuscating empty declarations against anything Democrat or Liberal certainly isn’t an attack on free speech.
Hit it on the nose again Mr. Lester. The little dweebs are really confused now. I wonder what would happen if they ever researched anything for themselves instead of repeating what they are told.
Actually the root of the current American problem.. That enshrined concept of “free speech” fails when it includes unlimited “false / irresponsible” speech.
bee-yoo-ti-ful image… but very very ominous acts being portrayed. Free speech is under fire (or over the fire!) as dangerously today as in the McCarthy era.
Funny… last generation when the big corporations and industries were “right wing” in their thinking, and the Hippies were complaining that we should do something about it… people like Lester said “this is Capitalism, let them do what they want”.
But now that the big corporations are left leaning, people like Lester don’t seem to like unfettered Capitalism as much anymore.
“Mike Lester molested children in the secret basement of a pizza parlor in Marietta, Georgia.”
“The Las Vegas mass shooting was a false-flag operation and a hoax perpetrated by Elizabeth Warren and funded by Jeff Bezos.”" Bret Kavanagh smothered Nino Scalia with his pillow in order to take his job. "
That’s the level of the crap that Lester is defending. Meanwhile, he’s had Gocomics censor posts discussing his history of misogynistic cartoons to remove links to press reports of his domestic violence incident.
Change “Conservative” to “fascist,” “racist,” “violently sectarian,” and it would be a bit more accurate. The problem faced is that Tech and Media is trying to play fair and not shut down “Conservative” thought.
Dude, conservative media rose on social media with their falsehoods i.e. infowars, dailymail…The fact that facebook and twitter are removing it only serves to the traitors it supported.
Right Mr. Lester. We need to Constitutionally allow Private Organizations like Facebook the Right Of Nazis and Propagandists to Say things like “NewTown was a HOAX” and “NOBODY died at Parkland” They were all Child Actors.
Ping-Pong Pizza was a Front for Hillary Clinton to Sell Child Sex Services to rich donors .
That is all Federal Protected Free speech we must force on Corporate America. But the Concept that “Rich people need to pay more money” That’s COMMUNISM and the Communist party is illegal and as so has not right to free speech.
So Mike? You do Realize you are defending the rights of the KKK and the Nazis to use the tools of Private companies?
Let those same organizations pay the health care of the Same Sex partners and suddenly you are screaming about the end of societal norms. As if the America is more threatened by Mayor Pete’s marriage than of the three marriages of the Pussy Grabber.

Yes, Trump demands the freedom to say anything he wants about others, especially if it is not true.

Let me guess… this is about Facebook refusing to remove the video of Nancy Pelosi which was altered by “conservatives”.
Wrong guess, you say?

I agree with Lester – When conservative ideas and opinions are torched, free speech tastes better.

For a group that is having their voice progressively silenced, they sure do whine about being silenced constantly. From every source imaginable.

Once again, the conservative pot calls the liberal kettle black. In this case, though, the pot is a lot blacker.

Eventually, you’ll run out all of the conservatives, who will have created their own forums by that time, and all you’ll have left are yourselves.
It’s going to get real boring when all you have are yourselves to listen to. And the hot dogs run out.
