So they don’t support free speech? I thought that’s why this guy was a martyr somehow.

Fascists don't believe in the meaning of words.

They are free to play in bad faith, while libs waste time and energy debating their bad faith arguments; exactly what the bad faith actor wanted.

Exactly.

Words are nothing but weapons to them, tactics to distract, demoralize, dogwhistle, whatever.

You do not speak to a fascist with words.

You speak to them with a fucking baseball bat.

... not like they would ever do any good with a working jaw anyway.

It's only about Nazi free speech. They'll pretend we all need to allow their free speech, no matter how hateful, because, "free speech".

But they don't have any intent of YOU having free speech.

That's the paradox of tolerance that Popper talked about....

Didn't republicans make truth social and the other rightwing shitholes specifically because "tHeY'rE cEnSoRiNg Us" for saying shit more vile than what they're throwing a fit about now?

It's almost like they want censorship for everyone but themselves.

They want their speech out of their hate-infested echo chambers so that they can start infecting more of the populace.

They would love it if everyone was forced to be exposed to their spew. They think people being to ignore/block/unaffiliate with them is "censorship".

Almost like? No, that's the actual point.

Wait, I thought this party was about trying to legalize comedy again. Because no one was allowed to laugh prior to Taco being back in office.

What happened?

Higgins, who chairs the House Oversight Committee’s subcommittee on federal law enforcement, argued restrictions are not censorship but a defense of constitutional order. “The reasonable restriction of public statements that lie far beyond the standards of our own society is not an oppression of free speech. It is, rather, the protection of free speech,” he claimed.

Insert 1984 slogan here.

*edit: glad he's dead.

If these people aren't the most butthurt snowflakes ever over this podcaster, they sure are pretending to be.

JFC.

And I demand that Louisiana Republicans get deleted, but we don't all get what we want, do we?

"I had the Constitution printed on custom toilet paper. Never has wiping felt so good!"

He can come to New Orleans if he wants to find out. All this bluster and can’t even take a street car 7 blocks or whatever.

If Republicans didn't have double standards, they would have no standards at all. They would just selectively enforce and wear the hypocrisy as a badge like fascists do. It'd just be a way to flex their power while giving them a new way to attack and harass.
