| Topic | why do Conservatives think their free speech is being infringed by protestors? |
| averagejoel 04/22/17 9:29:25 AM #10 | Ultima Dragon posted... I don't understand why Conservatives can't have a platform and be allowed to speak to a Conservative audience peacefully, just as Liberals are allowed to do so. So what if you don't agree with what's being said? Does that give you the right to violence and intimidation tactics? the conservatives speaking at universities already have platforms. they don't need another one. the university has no obligation to give them an additional platform, which is why people protest. Dragonite150 posted... Well in the case of the Berkeley protests/riots their goal was to stop someone from speaking....and the repeated violence is basically a restraining order on speakers they wouldn't like as they are now canceling speakers out of fear of more riots. That is definitely a form of freedom of speech being oppressed by intimidation and violence. it's not a free speech issue. the government is not silencing them. people are asserting their right to protest, which is part of free speech. Zikten posted... because shutting down a speech is not in the spirit of free speech. these people bully those they disagree with into silence. and they attack supporters of the speech too. spraying them with pepper spray. punching them see above --- peanut butter and dick |
| Topic | why do Conservatives think their free speech is being infringed by protestors? |
| averagejoel 04/22/17 9:09:50 AM #1 | people do have a right to free speech, but protesting is part of that too - protestors are affirming their own free speech, not infringing on someone else's. besides, they're conflating "free speech" with "entitlement to a platform", which are not in any way the same thing. No one is stopping them from putting up signs in their yard or ranting on Facebook. why do they think they're entitled to speak at universities? --- peanut butter and dick |
