Reply #114: The Bush gang doesn't 'censor' speech either... [View All]

[Q]

...but they do what many are doing here: they can CHILL discussions and drive people away from debating important issues.

I'm sure that if we see enough threads like this...more posters will avoid legitimate complaints and discussions about their own party and candidates. This is exactly what the other side does to keep everyone in line.

You're right. It's not censoring. But it IS meant to get the more timid to limit their speech and only bring up 'acceptable' subjects.

Some 'round here have become the 'brownshirts' of DU...attacking those who don't say the right things.

Free speech is a double-edged blade. Those who support Kerry and Clinton get all the space they want or need to present their views. But the other side must be allowed their say without these constant attacks meant to chill discussion.
