Like what you are doing here?  Speaking so as to deny others the right
to free speech?

Do you have the right to do what you are now doing?

So a lot of their shareholders didn't sign up to for political
activism, so the New York Times is now wrong to exercise free speech?

About Monsantos PR flack, does he/she have the right to say what he
wants?  How about if he wants to say good things about Monsanto?

Why is the Left so openly hostile to basic human rights?  You start
shutting down anyones right to free speech and that is that.

Does freedom have any meaning or value to you?
