No, we're just starting to attain a level of effectiveness comparable to that of our adversaries.
Leftists have worked for years to punish anyone who publicly states an opinion they don't like.
Why? Because it has an impact.
The First Amendment cuts both ways folks.
In this case it cuts neither way. The First Amendment sets limits on the power of government to silence citizens, particularly in the area of political speech. By informing sponsors of our opinions we are exercising, not violating the First Amendment. We have every right to do this, and we are not violating Maher's rights in any way.
If we want to get our voices heard, we are going to have to stuff cotton in our ears and protect the likes of Maher too.
You don't understand the concept.
Maher has every right to express his views without being silenced or intimidated. He does not, however, have any particular right to have those views broadcast on a national TV show. See?
Well stated. The maher defender ought to ask their hero about the second amendment. But most maher defenders can't count to two.
