I hear this crap all the time, and the stupidity boggles my mind. What an unsophisticated thinker!

Freedom: When lots of people criticize the government.
The death of Dissent: When lots of people criticize the criticizers.

Perhaps true freedom is when everyone can say whatever they want, without being arrested for it. Maybe THAT'S what the First Amendment is all about. This bozo seems to think that the First Amendment means his opinion is sacred and no one has the right to disagree with him. What an elitist!

Freedom: When lots of people criticize the government.
The death of Dissent: When lots of people criticize the criticizers.

That's exactly their reasoning. Pretty loopy.

Didn't Sean Penn take out a full-page vanity editorial in the LA Times to explain how dissent had been chilled?

Worth repeating.
