This professor was fired just because he stated a pro-gay statement.

And pro-gay protestors arrested here as well.

Allegations of where "most of the true silencing of speech has come from" is meaningless without any facts to back up the situation...

And considering "hate speech" is not a crime, the editorialist's comments need to be put in perspective.

Some of the examples utilized in the article are interesting as well, as I don't know how truly "liberal" they are...
*crime of defaming Islam*? I have never seen a liberal here support such laws.

*denying the holocaust*? Again, I don't know how many liberals here would actually classify that as a "crime".
There was also a discussion on these boards about a country (can't remember specifics) bringing charges because they stated that teaching Bible history as valid was a crime. I don't think there was any liberal on these message boards who supported that either.


With that in mind Alias, can you look at my two examples above and tell me whether or not you condemn those decisions? Or support them....
Because it's meaningless to complain about "liberal" censorship if no liberal supports it, when YOU YOURSELF might be supporting "conservative" censorship...

Or, just ignore this whole post and the points made. The choice is up to you...
