    Stopping hate speech is censorship? STFU :)

    What censorship, pray tell? Whereas some Dem House members are calling for Rep.Greene to be removed from her committees for her very divisive and ludicrous speech, Biden, to my knowledge, has taken no stand on the matter. He has enough going on with reversing Dump’s decisions and getting vaccines into more arms.

    Mr. Lester, Abraham Lincoln once asked his son “If I told you that a dog’s tail is a leg, how many legs would a dog have?” The son replied “Five”. Lincoln replied “No, dogs have only four legs; calling a tail a leg does not make it a leg.”

    Same thing applies for “censorship” by privately owned social media companies…

    If the conservative talk shows and websites actually spoke the truth then their wouldn’t be an issue. Of course if they did, they wouldn’t have much to talk about. It’s not about having a different view. It’s about trying to use wha tthey call the alternative facts as truth.

    There are no alternative facts. There are just facts and lies.

    Real simple. Private business. Terms of usage.

    Facebook and Twitter aren’t the public square. The public square is your local street corner or public park.

    Don’t be such baby snowflakes.

    No, Mike, it’s NOT censorship. It’s a refusal by privately owned social media firms (NOT the government) to provide a platform for liars. You KNOW that. Anyone with an IQ ≥ Tiger Woods’s best PGA round knows that. Why do you persist in twisting the truth? Why not embrace the truth? You’d be happier; far, far happier. Of course, your dim-witted, ignorant, naive, irrational fans would be disappointed, but they’d get over it. After all, their attention spans are quite brief. Something shiny would soon come along, grab their shallow attention, and they’d be off on their next fool’s errand. It really is that simple. All those liars you falsely claim are being censored are actually quite free to start their own social media firms, e.g., Parler, to spread their lies. Mike, if you could comment WITHOUT twisting the truth in support of your joined-at-the-hip lies, you’d be doing yourself, your fans, and your nation a favor. As it is, you’re circling the gurgler as you well know.

    If I go somewhere with a lot of people and stand up and start shouting things that are guaranteed to start people fighting against each other, then the police come and take me away for inciting a riot. Is that censorship? How about if I do it in a large factory and the private security removes me from the property. Is that censorship?

    What kind of American wouldn’t accept people dying and being injured so that hate speech which incites violence can be freely posted on Twitter? I am pretty sure that one of the founding fathers specifically said that Twitter and Facebook are constitutional rights.

    it needs to be researched so it’s accurate rather than where we blow things up right in front of you because we don’t know what the hell we’re talking about as with the last administration and the parade of lists of commentators for the president when one ran out of gas they just loaded up another one

    When I tell you that I think the portrait (example) you just painted needs just a little touch up, is a little criticism, when I say Oh wow what an ugly piece of crap that portrait is, that is nasty. See the difference?

    Going to modify something I’ve been saying about free speech. Try yelling “I HAVE A BOMB!” in an airport. You have the right to say it, but be assured, there will be consequences for saying it.

    Odd. I don’t recall reading about Psaki giving a briefing with TP stuck to her shoe. You know that would make all kinds of news.

    Kind of like when this happened:

    I suppose that since Mike gets his news from Breitbart and OAN he doesn’t get to see the same world I do.

    When some news channels cut the Rump off while he was spewing his lies, it was their choice. When private companies choose to cut him and his supporters off for spewing lies and inciting violence on their social media, it was their choice. Are you saying that these companies should not be able to make that choice?

    You support private enterprise in your party, In fact you tout yourselves as the great protectors of free enterprise and yet, when free enterprise shuts you down, you squeal about censorship? Climb up on your roof, take your megaphone and scream all the vitriol you like and you’ll see you still have free speech. Sheesh! Open your own blog and you can spew hatred and filth until the cows come home. But when you agree to the terms and conditions and then flout them, you get told to p..s off!

    Mike still pushing the false, intellectually dishonest narrative about “censorship” while publishing on platforms seen by millions every day. I see them complaining on TV all the time, all these people talking about how they’ve been censored. Fox propaganda spouts it almost 24/7 on the broadcasts carried by Armed Forces network, then there’s OANN and Newsmax., not to mention the thousands of websites like Daily Caller, WSJ, Breitbart, Info Wars, and others of their ilk. Then there’s the guests on CNN, MSNBC, CNBC, opinion columns on the NYT, WAPO. The complaints about “censorship” is almost blinding and deafening by the way it is ubiquitous and transmitted over cable, print, and websites.

    Suppose the Klan started a Twitter-like social network. I guess they could call it Kwitter or Klatter or Klaptrap, something like that. Then, suppose someone started doing a daily post about Black Lives Mattering, with perhaps links to news stories about Black men and women accomplishing great things (think George Washington Carver, Barack Obama, WEB DuBois, Kamala Harris, etc.). I imagine that account would be shut down, and kwikly.

    Now, I wonder, would Lester make a fuss? Should he make a fuss? I mean, it is censorship, but it isn’t the government.

    Trump telling a heavily armed Crowd to “GO FIGHT” and Giuliani telling them to enter “Trial by Combat” was a crime.

    Charlie Manson didn’t Kill ANYONE he just told his supporters to go kill some people.

    He is in Prison because they did.

    Trump should be in prison for the death of Brian Sicknick A FEDRAL POLICE OFFICER

    Killed by his supporters

    What if GOCOMICS decided that any critical comments about any cartoon were not to be published. Scrubbed. Censored. Would you be ok w that? They’re a private company just like Twitter, Fbk.

    No, it’s no okay. I am always amazed at the mental gymnastics that people go through on this site to say it’s okay to do that, as long as it’s not their side they’re doing it to. I don’t give a damn who’s side you’’re on, it will never be okay.
