Smash and his team of Patriots effectively counter disinformation by the far (far) left:
Most of the protestors, on the other hand, aren’t happy at all about our presence. As I walk in parallel to their march, one of their men approaches me.“Why are you trying to suppress our freedom of speech?” His tone is accusing.
“We’re not,” I calmly respond. We’re exercising our own right to free speech.”
“But why do you always have to march with us?”
“Because we disagree with part of your message, and we’re here to present a rebuttal.”
“But you never do your own protests – you always follow us around!”
“That’s not true, we hold our own events.”
“Where?”
“I’d rather not say.” Why do their work for them?
“You’re trying to intimidate and repress these women.” Now he’s playing the role of the valiant protector, and casting me as a woman-hater.
“Hey, they present their message, we present ours, and the public decides – that’s democracy.”
“Democracy?” He sounds upset. “You’re trying to suppress speech – that’s fascism!”
“Nonsense – we all have freedom of speech in this country. There’s a free marketplace of ideas.”
“You mean, like competition?” He replies, derisively.
“Exactly. And if the people keep buying our ideas instead of yours, maybe it’s time for you to try out some new ones.”
That shuts him up.
Read the whole thing.
It never ceases to amaze me how people like this believe that free speech only applies to them. That no matter what they say or how they say it, it is OK because they said it. If someone offers a differing opinion, they are called "fascists".
But standing up to these people is the right thing to do or lies will simply be taken as truth.
You're different from me
All the boundaries are defined
If we keep up with these truces
One of will lose their mindAnd I consciously object to your weapons detector
Hedging bets in the private sector
I don't have to salute you
But I might have to shoot youLet's get back to the war
That's what we're here for
Back to the war
That's what we're here for
Back to the war-John Hiatt
