From a post I made on a similar thread
FR was a contitutional website. This is a
FREE SPEECH issue:
Is there anyone in FL who wants to file a lawsuit against NBC. Particularly since some were allowed to speak out repeatedly and not removed.
Yes, there must be order but as long as no one is yelling “fire” response must be allowed. No one has ever tried to shut down either the moderators or the candidates.
It’s simply an attempt by liberal media to control those with opposite points of view.
Legally NBC and all others who try the same are on thin ice. If you don’t complain now, when will you take a stand.
Good for Newt for standing up for Free Speech.
I’m not a lawyer, so I have no idea the basis for such a lawsuit.
I just know that were you and I in that audience, we wouldn’t have played by NBC’s anti-free speech, robot rules.
I know we would have stood to shout and applaud every answer given by Newt and booed all of Romney’s attacks.
Had we been removed, then ... lawsuit, you betcha!
The audience erred in going along to get along. They out-numbered Brian Willaims and all of security on the scene.
Those well-mannered folks just needed a couple of rebels! I’m pretty much surprised, given the location: Tampa.
Must have been too many Yankees in that otherwise Southern audience! LOL.
