Freedom of speech means freedom from government regulation, not freedom from private action. We're all free to tell someone, "You're full of ****!" and organize boycotts of their products/services.
The First Amendment just means the government has to stay out of it.

It's all the same with that crowd. They live in a fantasy world where their handlers tell them how wonderful they are, and nobody ever says that they are idiots for freaking out when they get a regular coke instead of a diet coke. Now they see that people are free to speak out in opposition to what they spout, and they don't like it at all. I hope all of those high school grads (the hollywood leftists) end up on 3am infomercials or in low budget porn.

The First Amendment just means the government has to stay out of it.The problem here is that these socialist/marxists think that RIGHTS are granted by the GOVERNMENT and thereby can be taken away if one just shows how UNFAIR it is to be PERSECUTED like they have!
