Yet another example of the GOP's descent into authoritarianism. It used to be that the liberals opposed free speech, unless it was a message they happened to agree with ... now the roles have reversed and it's the GOP that opposes free speech ... unless of course, Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity approve of the message. The Republicans are the new perpetual victims, they think they are being held back by "biased media", immigrants, Muslims, and minorities.
The three pillars of the New GOP: authoritarianism, White nationalism, and whataboutism.
Those people are uniquely unqualified to determine when news is biased or inaccurate.
I have stated this before, but it bears repeating ... the party should change it's name, because they do not carry on the spirit of republicanism.
They could change their party name to the Authoritarian party for full disclosure, to avoid confusion in the publics mind as to what they truly represent.
So a liberal blog post is somehow supposed to be proof that Republicans want to shut down free speech? What party exactly has been trying to pass legislation for the last 20 years to shut down Rush L?

What???? Please cite the legislative proposals to shut down Limbaugh.

Thankfully there is a first amendment, and it's not going away.
These people can want whatever they want...they're not getting it.
As much as I think Alex Jone's blathering nonsense is complete and utter drivel, I have no interest in living in a world where people aren't free to their press and speech. Even if that speech is gibberish.
