    I’m literally claiming reality. Scuttling an invitation from the speaker of the House is absolutely stifling free speech. I’ve never made the claim. It’s a constitutional violation you’d have to be in absolute moron to interpret my comment that way.

    There are many ways to stifle Free speech. I see people making that claim regarding the chance for intifada college campuses. Being an expression of free speech. I’m amused and fascinated by the people claiming that shutting down an encampment that’s calling for in intifada which is unquestionably. A violent action is stifling Free speech. Well they have issues with a politician being invited to speak before Congress.

      Got it, giving an opinion that someone should not be invited to speak at a specific location is apparently not an expression of free speech, it’s suppression of free speech. Just like how if someone comes up to you on the street and starts yelling in your face, it’d be suppression of speech for you to ask them to do that somewhere else.
