why do liberals dislike freedom of speech?

Question

everyday I hear some liberal talking about banning talk radio or fox news or reporting some post on yahoo because it has a conservative slant..............what is it with liberals and their opposition to the views of most folk?

Answer 1

They fear being found out before they even get a chance to form an alibi . Hillary Clinton is livid over the "too much free speech she says we have ..and the flow of information over the Internet is just too quick to suit her ..Liberal democrats have the nerve to demand to be warned before the public finds out what they're up to..Are these people for real ? Every day I loose a little more respect for the mainstream media ..they just keep on grinning and covering up the real news of this ludicrous activity..and everyday I think I have no more respect left to loose for liberals ..but surprise surprise ..And try tho they may..they have yet to prove Rush Limbaugh wrong ! Gee- isn't it funny how libs blame one man for all their problems ..but then each new day..they find a new man to blame ..

Answer 2

it is humorous. Your question is why do liberals dislike freedom of loose-speech? Liberals do no longer dislike loose-speech, this is the respond. once you ask the question why do democrats choose to tug the direction to 9/11 there are diverse solutions. the least perplexing is that it appears that evidently to be actuality-loose and is asserted as a documentary. What a crock. in many situations if a central authority affiliated business corporation places out documents like this in a foreign country we could call it propaganda. you may desire to open your eyes and soak up actuality no longer spin. in basic terms save this in strategies. while media places information obtainable it extremely is been spun. precise, left, or center we as individuals could desire to get in the time of the spin and digest the documents again to our own solutions. do no longer in basic terms take people at what they say, you may desire to think of and look at for your self. the two events choose the individuals to hearken to easily one factor by way of fact they anticipate YOU to easily pay attention to what's being reported, and not think of for your self.

Answer 3

Tell us here, please, which liberals you are speaking of. Freedom of speech is protected vigorously by the American Civil Liberties Union, which is, er, a liberal organization. As for Fox and all that, "most folk" do not watch it. The old rightwing wacko approach: lie, lie, lie, and if you have no easy lies at hand, make it up, pull it out of the air as gospel. To be sure, some nitwit out there will believe you. But you can't fool all of the people all of time, saith Mr. Lincoln.

Answer 4

Most liberals maybe but not all.

As I've stated in another answer.......I enjoy hearing both point of views that's how I educate myself so that I can make a decision on certain items. How can anyone learn about something and form their own opinion if they only hear the same side over and over?

Answer 5

"Freedom of speech" is our Constitutional right. However, "freedom of speech" doesn't mean that toxic poison dumps like Rush Limbaugh's mouth should be allowed to spew forth a daily retinue of hatred, bigotry, bias, distortions, lies, half-truths and fabrications while posing as legitimate "news' or balance commentary.
"Freedom of speech" gives us the right to express our views against a tyrannical and oppressive government, but should not be used as a tool for propaganda or undocumented and inaccurate accusations. Nor should "freedom of speech" be considered our right to use vulgar, offensive, filthy language just for the sake of rattling others' values or sensationalizing ourselves.
If we allow "freedom of speech" to become so uncivilized, we run the very real risk of allowing these propagandists such as Limbaugh and Hannity to follow in Hitler's evil footsteps and poison our society. Fairness and objectivity should certainly be the highest standard to which our public airwaves are held. Otherwise, we make a mockery of the very freedom to which Limbaugh and Hannity will claim they have a Constitutional right.
We ought to refrain from anything that tears down our civilized society. Fox "News", Rush Limbaugh and the rest of the conservative-biased media cares little about our civilization; only about making money from low-brow 'ditto heads' who don't have the intelligence, or won't take the time, to form their own opinions instead of being brainwashed. -RKO- 05/27/07

Answer 6

Liberals are not against free speech as long as that speech is coming from someone who thinks and speaks like they do. It is only Republicans and conservatives who they want to silence.

Answer 7

There is a clear difference between free speech and the garbage one sees on Fox and hears on hate radio shows like Limbaugh's.

I find it odd that fans of such garbage don't like it when they're called on the carpet for defending such programing.

Hypocrites.

Answer 8

Liberals love freedom of speech...when it's their own...it's opposing opinions they cant handle...they have no real facts to back up their opinions and so they resort to name calling and sticking their finger's in their ears chanting NA NA NA NA NA NA I cant hear you....guess it beats having to think for themselves...

Answer 9

I dont know ask the republicans candidates who are trying to keep Ron Paul from participating in the debates and preventing him from telling the truth to the American public.

Answer 10

Cause they don't wanna hear the truth but they should so they could improve on whatever there talking about.
