| 23. Left vs. Right free speech repression |
|
If all the left does is boo at unPC remarks, how is that worse than the rights monopoly of the daytime talk radio where they don't allow anyone on past their screeners who doesn't worship the host. Or their past President's controlled audiences where you were turned away unless you swore an oath to the Republican party?
BTW Maher, I think you are mistaking Oooooooos with Boooooooos. Like in "Ooooo, I can't believe he went there!"
