Do yourself a favor and ask your liberal english professor what qualifies writing as propoganda. He might tell you using extreme language which assumes facts not in evidence: like coservowacko, baathist-like, stifle.
The only free speech that needs to be protected is the speech which is unpopular... don;t you get it. Nobody's gonna shut down a moderate press...

So it's ok if liberal groups organize boycotts against things they disagree with but when conservative groups do it they are stifiling free speech. I just wanted to make sure I understood the distinction. Thank you very much. You have shown me the reason why I am conservative. Have a nice day.

Boycotts don't stifle free speech.
They advocate the use of another form of free speech; the free market.

Yes. That's absolutely within their right of freedom of speech. They're not advocating the doing of physical harm to anyone, they're not yelling "Fire!" in a crowded theater, and they're not scratching their message on the hoods of cars in a parking lot.
As a former soldier, card-carrying member of the ACLU, liberal, and most importantly, a citizen-- I believe in the freedom of speech, even for those people with whom I disagree.

Your asking if someone should be allowed to use THEIR rights to free speech ? The Constitution guarantees it, Trying reading it someday

So the only 'free speech' that should be allowed is speech you agree with?

Isn't that kind of asking if people like you should be allowed to stiffle free speech by asking this question?
Of course it should be allowed. You are entitled to your opinion, and they are entitled to theirs. If you don't like their point of view, then don't boycott.

They should be allowed to use their free speech to advocate whatever they what.
