re: #59 Walter L. Newton

When ever it happens? And it happens on both sides. That’s what makes it freedom of speech.

NO, Walter, you are dead wrong. Freedom of speech does not include the right to suppress the speech of others, which is what you are doing when you shout down a recognized speaker at an organized gathering. This kind of conduct is the opposite of free speech. Do nutballs have the right to disrupt Congressional debates or Supreme Court sessions? Larry Flynt thought so, the justices disagreed and tossed him in prison for contempt.
