Free speech? What is that Grandpa?

Journal by Runaway1956

"Hush child! Free speech is the reason you grew up without a grandma or your mommy or daddy! They all went to the Utah camps for demonstrating against the Democrat Party!"

Geeez, people, too bad we didn't have a disinformation board in the McCarthy days, huh? All those commies and socialists could have been put into concentration camps. Those radical black activists could have joined them. All the gay activists, a bunch of feminists, the free sex cultist hippies, and all the druggies. Don't forget the illegal aliens!!

    If only you spent more time reading his articles instead of mining them.

    What would be the point? As I suspected would happen, I caught Zurawik in a state of pure hypocrisy, indicating that he has pathological understanding of this subject. I would no more read him for free speech issues than I would for general relativity. Plus half his stuff is paywalled.

    Life is too short to read sources that have demonstrated fundamental ignorance and lack of credibility. Move on and find someone more useful.

    On that we agree. If only the irony weren't so rich.

      Irony for khallow is like metaphor for Drax the Destroyer, it flies right over his head. As khallow says:

      Nothing goes over my head! My reflexes are too fast, I would catch it.

      Khallow don't know what khallow don't know, which means what he do know, exists in a tiny bubble of obvious rebuttal and mutually reinforcing ideological daisy chaining. Don't pull out, khallow!
