On Laura Ingraham's evening show, The Ingraham Angle, on FOX News last night, she introduced a new series she will be covering on the topic of suppression of free speech - one of our three first amendment rights - which the liberal/socialist leftists are exercising today. Here's the link to the opening segment explaining the problem of free speech suppression.
Here's the almost two minute announcement she shared at the end of her show last night. I share this because we've seen too many examples of this happening over the past several years, but it's only getting worse. In it, when she refers to Diamond & Silk's issue of being labeled by Facebook as "...an unsafe brand for the community." this is the clip to which she's referring. To me, it's obvious what was left out of this phrase of Facebook's. That was one word - "an unsafe brand for the liberal community." (Even this morning while watching the second day's congressional hearings on Facebook with Zuckerberg testifying, he was asked about these two women's case and flat out perpetuated the lie that Facebook had contacted them about the "mistake" it had made in censoring them.) As a result of this revelation, I permanently, rather than temporarily, terminated my Facebook account; like thousands, if not tens of thousands, have been doing.
Then, just this morning, I came across this local example where a professor is now being censored by the university administration. This is only one of many similar circumstances which are occurring across the nation on our college/university campuses.
The focus of who's in control has been shifted by the left to the youth; inexperienced, delicate snowflakes who's characters have been given a weapon which is a very insidious and subtle bludgeon by which leftist ideology is allowed to dominate over traditional common sense. This, in my view, is the greatest tragedy of today's cultural climate.
And then... there's the new bill just introduced in the California state assembly. Wrap you head in duct tape first before reading this.
Update: On 4/19 Bill O'Reilly wrote this article about this issue, describing it as Stalinist.
