Reply #184: well, I have mixed feelings about free speech

[newspeak]

I think anyone has the right to voice their opinion--I mean my boss told me his father greatly admired Hitler and would get on his soapbox every week in a park in LA and espouse his views on Hitler (before war was declared). However, I think of the mass propaganda assault by Hitler and his mouthpiece, Julian Steicher, promoting hate and fear against jews, gays, labor advocates and anyone who disagreed with their agenda. And, then there is the hate radio driven genocide in Rwanda.

Our media is totally controlled by corporate masters who have their own agenda, who "catapult the propaganda" for their own needs. And, I believe one and all are republican. "The liberal media is as liberal as their right wing corporate masters allow them to be."

I don't mind seeing or hearing worthy opponents debating the issues; however, it seems what we got now is those sitting around agreeing about the same issue or a milk toast opposition.

When it comes to pushing an agenda of ignorance and fear with little or no opposition, I think of Rwanda and Germany.
