So now according to the neo-cons, groups aren't allowed the freedom to choose who they want to invite to speak at their events?

Not inviting someone because you don't agree with their views is not equivalent and is not discrimination. Try again.

That only works if you are a liberal, if you are anyone else, it's against the law.

We’ll see if his apology is accepted. If it’s not, it will become clear that an authoritarian anti-free speech mindset has set in with many gay-marriage supporters.

Apparently, for many liberals, free-speech rights can be extended to people who agree with them or their allies, but those outside their circle had better be prepared for attempts to shut them up.

This is so typical of the vile leftist mindset. It becomes more obvious every day.

It's not? In the OP article Dr. Carson says that his beliefs are due to religion. So barring him due to his religious beliefs is different than barring Muslims due to their religious beliefs? I guess in the bizzaro leftist moonbat world it is.

So if some Satanist rises to prominence because of his political views, I have to invite him to speak at my public event then?

Nice deflection attempt. How is barring someone due to their religious beliefs about marriage different than barring someone due to their Muslim religious beliefs? Of course you think it's OK because you disagree with him. Banning a satanist wouldn't be any different either.

Maybe if he shoots a cop or pledges allegiance to Mahmoud Ahmadinejad they'll let him speak.
