Free speech has nothing to do with any of this. Free speech is about the gov't silencing people. No one is free to speak callous idiocy w/o the repercussions of doing so. A little tact is a good thing.

So they were right to put down and try to silence those who claimed that JFK was not killed by a magic bullet? Look up cognitive dissonance.

Oh STFU troll. You're twisting my words. It's not a "free speech" issue. Unless we are the gov't, and we're not. We're telling you to STFU b/c we don't like what you're saying. That's our right. And guess what...that's part of free speech too. You should probably also consider that you might be mentally insane and get some help. Notice there's only a couple of you conspitards blowing up this comment section today. Probably close to 200 of the 400 comments are from the same 2 people...hmmmm...

I notice you people revert to "troll" on anything you don't like. But I only posted one comment and a couple of replies, so I didn't "blow up" the comment board. So who are you people that did? And as I reminder I started with "I don't mean to be cynical".

"STFU troll" must be the kind of free speech you are talking about! You're a real genius, RU! And you seem to feel that the minority view should be silenced because its the minority view. What they are saying has "nothing to do with" free speech, but your right to insult them and scream profanities is what free speech is all about. LOL

Lol, you're the problem in America. You are calling me out on the problem I called you out on and you don't even understand it. SMH.

Sure they are RU, that is exactly what free speech is all about--are you some kind of idiot?

What the h*ll are you talking about? You should be free to spout off whatever you want with no one pushing back on you? That's your definition of "free speech?" Then, it would seem you are the idiot. But, I think we can gather as much from your many, many other posts today.

You are the one who scolded those with differing views than yours saying "free speech has nothing to do with any of this." Then proceeded to attack those views stating that your statements were exactly what free speech is all about. Yes, that makes you a complete buffoon.

That's not at all what happened. You misunderstood my initial post and then attacked me due to your own misunderstanding. Or, you just want to be able to spout nonsense with no pushback and that isn't going to happen around here.

It's exactly what happened, and now that you have egg on your face, you are trying to tell a different story. I didn't "misunderstand" anything. You said it.
