'Silencing' has become a way of life for Democrats when they govern.
The Democrat Party has changed since Harry Truman said this:
"Once a government is committed to the principle of silencing the voice of opposition, it has only one way to go, and that is down the path of increasingly repressive measures, until it becomes a source of terror to all its citizens and creates a country where everyone lives in fear."
'Silencing' has become a way of life for Democrats when they govern. For example, when Democrats controlled the House of Representatives, they held a hearing on 'Disinformation and Extremism in the Media.' What prompted the hearing was a letter, written by Anna Eshoo (D-CA) and Jerry McNerney (D-CA), to 12 cable and satellite provider companies that carried TV shows ranging from the Food Network to Fox News. The letter began, "Our country's public discourse is plagued by misinformation, disinformation, conspiracy theories and lies." The representatives were concerned about right-wing media broadcasts, which, they claimed, was spreading 'lies' and 'disinformation.'
One question the committee asked was, "What moral or ethical principles (including those related to journalistic integrity, violence, medical information and public health) do you apply in deciding which channels to carry or when to take adverse actions against a channel?"
When Republicans perceived the committee's actions as attempted subversion of the Constitution and the silencing of news of which Democrats didn't approve, Congresswoman Eshoo said she had no intention of proposing legislation to silence conservative news outlets, that she was asking 'strong, important questions.'

The Democrat Party Organized Crime Syndicate will try to protect itself so it can continue stealing.
Suppression of opposing speech and rejection of the truth is the first rule of totalitarian regimes whether they are Muslim, Communist, Nazi, or Fascist. The Gates of Hell can’t survive against the Gospel so the Gospel is outlawed.
They’ve been doing that for decades.
It’s just coming more and more to light.
BTTT
Is the writer Warren Beatty the actor?
“Our country’s public discourse is plagued by misinformation, disinformation, conspiracy theories and lies.”
These words claim, implicitly, ownership of incontrovertible unassailable truth. They are a lie.
They’ve been doing it for a long time.
Remember FDR’s “fairness doctrine”? They stifled opposition even then.
YEP!!!
‘Harry Truman said this: “Once a government is committed to the principle of silencing the voice of opposition, it has only one way to go, and that is down the path of increasingly repressive measures, until it becomes a source of terror to all its citizens and creates a country where everyone lives in fear.”’
Coming soon to America?
What else is new?
Not the actor.
islam is a totalitarian death cult founded by a child rapist.
Not coming soon.
Here.
If Trump can’t Campaign he should poke the bear with some high profile behind door meetings with people like Kanye West that knows the Obama Democrat scam.
Subversion of the Constitution indeed the democrats are doing everything in their power to eliminate it and rewrite it.
Fundamental change in action
