14. And that's why our free speech is barely around today
because people continually think its OK to ban speech that you don't like.

Everyone is for free speech when they agree with the speech. It's so funny how quickly people are to abandon those principles the moment the idea of "free speech" is really put to the test.

It's probably why this administration has been able to successful in weakening our civil rights and assaulting the bill of rights. They use the exact same argumentation by the way, when they do what they do. "Their ought to be limits to freedom" -- yeah that's their line.

Death to israel <> death to jews. But of course, the article never mentioned or clarified what the protesters actual message would be.
