Seriously. We don't often agree but at least you can understand that protesting is an exercise of free speech.. some go overboard but that can't be an indictment of the whole crowd.. protesting is one of the most important tools for the masses to speak out and must be protected.
do you think Trump should have went ahead and showed up and spoke?
I do. He let down a lot of his following that traveled to hear him.

you have not been paying attention. liberals have been shutting it down for quite a while now.
Yep...
Quote:Kirsten Powers, USA Today columnist and Fox News Contributor, says too many on the liberal left are attempting to shut down free speech. Powers appeared on Fox News with Howard Kurtz to discuss her new book The Silencing: How the Left is Killing Free Speech.
Powers told Kurtz that even though she is disturbed by the illiberal trend on the left of shutting down speech with which you disagree, she has no plans to change her politics.
"No, because I do make a distinction between what I call the illiberal left and what I would consider just your average Democrat," Powers said.
Powers said she still shares the political views of liberal Democrats but does not believe in silencing those she disagrees with. She said some critics claim the book is simply about the silencing of conservatives, a claim she said is false.
"Conservatives are some of the people, evangelicals are some of them but a lot of the people that I profile in the book, that I interview in the book are liberals who themselves have been silenced," Powers said.
Powers admitted that many liberals don't understand why she appears on Fox News, believing that liberals should shun the network.

I think Ben Carson said it best and I'm paraphrasing...your right to speech ends when it infringes on someone else's right to speech. I believe in protesting, but I don't believe in being an ass.

Freedom of speech isn't violated unless the government is doing the silencing.

The fact that many prequel haters despise this line shows that they let their anger blind them. It is one of the best movie lines of all time because it it so true.

Shutting down the speech of others, trying to shout down a trump rally, is shutting down free speech.

Hillary doesn't have a prayer in a one on one campaign against Trump.
This is not even a contest. Trump will win with ease.

Although it hurts me to admit this but my opinion is starting to evolve. Every day it looks more and more like we will have President Trump.
The upside is how that will blow the minds of liberals.

Are we doing this again? Gun lover means someone who loves guns. Thug means someone thugs.
