re: #172 Charles Johnson
No, Mr. Axelrod, it is not “de facto censorship” if people walk out of a comedian’s act or refuse to buy tickets. Louis CK is not owed or has a Constitutional right to an audience.
Louis C.K. “joke” about heroic Parkland kids was as tasteless as could be but not a huge surprise. He’s made a career of that.
But shouldn’t audiences decide to show up or not?
De facto censorship isn’t the answer.
Let the market decide!https://t.co/t37JoCcoBn— David Axelrod (@davidaxelrod) December 31, 2018
Unfortunately, some mealy-mouthed people on the left are taking the “I don’t approve of his jokes, but…” approach.https://t.co/iiA42KqLUn
