It's a common tactic with the lefties these days. Criticism of their thoughts is turned around as suppression, even censorship of speaker.

A few years ago the Communications Workers of America (CWA) ran radio ads that attacked Bell Atlantic (now Verizon) and its use of subcontractors as repair persons.

I called one radio station and talked to a gentleman there, telling him that I thought the ads were unconvincing. Instead of answering my concern, he went into a diatribe about how the station and the union had "First Amendment rights" (a point with which I had no dispute at all).

In other words, instead of defending the union position, all he did was namecall.

Why would the station defend the Union's position? If you wanted a defense of the position you should have contacted the union.The only position the station would ever need to defend would be its right to make a profit from running radio spots. Are you questioning the right of the radio station to make a profit simply because you disagree with a commercial that it ran?
