Quote - Whatever happened to "I don't agree with what you say, but I will defend your right to say it,"
Oh......that high-sounding idea died about the time that Ann Coulter was physically assaulted while speaking on a college campus.
Or everytime any other conservative speaker is protested or attempted to be shouted down while speaking on those same campuses.
BTW - the converse rarely -- if ever -- happens. "Free speech" is all relative, I suppose. Free speech is only allowed so long as the left agrees with it.
"Free speech" is a concept which covers many things. But in the opinion of the vast majority of us (I suspect), virtual kids doing virtual things doesn't fall under the rubric of "free speech". But apparently the Supreme Court -- or at least the Court of 4 years ago -- didn't agree.
