    A helpful reminder that when right-wingers claim they value free speech, they only mean the free speech that comes from people who agree with them. Anyone who disagrees is not entitled to say anything.

      Fortunately we just say it anyway, preferably on broadcast television, and it’s hilarious how much it pisses them off. And unlike Gary Lineker, they can’t have me fired.

        Yep, obviously we’re going to say it anyway. It’s just very telling that people do seem to get fired and banished from conferences far too often for exercising free speech that criticises the government.
