The Republican Party didn't give a fuck about the 1st amendment when they were lying us into the Iraq War in 2001.
OK Mr. Broad stroke paintbrush, give me one single example where Republicans tried to silence or stifle any contradictory news against G.W. Buillshit's narrative of the Iraq conflict.
Name one time he ever sent his FBI out to silence discord on the internet, and private conversations.
Not even anywhere in the same league, perhaps I'm being biased, try to enlighten me on how G.W. Bush's regime was a tyrannical anti Science, Anti God, Anti Freedom, Anti Family loathsome weaponized department of Justice. Explain it to me like I was 5!
And FTR, I'm not referencing the RINOs of the GWB administration. .I'm saying Reagan's admin put up with a lot of Leftists scumbags, going way off the rails. They threatened, and proclaimed that they would one day, do exactly what they are doing not. Everyone knew it was seditious, just like they know it is now. But everyone respected their rights to say it
The problem is that conservatives have been WAY TOO TOLERANT of illiberal arguments and actions against the freedoms afforded by the constitution. We should be absolutely up in arms at ANY infringement but we don’t.
Tolerance is the way down.
You have to stoke the fires of your hatred for oppression. Keep your fury hot and be ready to act on it.

yeah it really amazes me when we're talking about real fucking now issues with the Democrats going off the Democracy rails.
There's always a certain group that thinks they are going to trip us up by pulling the GWB card, like we're carry water for every motherfucker with an R by his name.
These idiots are oblivious to the fact, that Mitch McConnel would just return home to the Democrats if he was ever thrown out of the Republican party, and so would Mitt Romney and other RINOs.
What you call RINOs, were the Republican party until Trump commandeered it.
I'm pointing out that whoever is in power is blessed by a criminal syndicate to be "in power", and when that doesn't happen you get 4 years of the intelligence agencies making up bullshit in an attempt to remove them.
This is not a Republican / Democrat issue.

It's not left versus right, it's right versus wrong - FACTUALLY wrong.
You're quite exaggerating here, the right is by far not as censorious as the leftoid retards. Show me one instance where someone was canceled or had their lives destroyed for protesting the Iraq war?? The only instance I know of is that dude with the International Terrorist T-Shirt sporting dubyas fuckface who was kicked off the flight, maybe some were told they could not wear this at school. That's about it. Just because the government lied - which they do all the time - doesn't mean they were suppressing the 1st amendment back then.
No, I'm not exaggerating.
You're the victim now of censorship. You're feeling the heat of it so now you see what it's like.
I've been called terrorist, I have had my job threatened. Being principled comes with a price. There wasn't a weapons of mass destruction program in Iraq, there's no apologies from PUSSIES that called me "traitor". That doesn't happen. It's not going to happen for you, when people realize that the "vaccinations" don't fucking work, and were actually all risk and no reward.
Almost impossible to believe. I was an outspoken critic of Iraq war 2 and called boosh a terrorist and stated that there is zero evidence the fucker has any WMDs at work and everywhere else and nobody threatened my job or livelihood otherwise. Not once. Maybe you got unlucky and ran into some hardcore MFs but pretty much everyone I know who was hardcore against boosh and his stupid crusade which ended up killing many innocent kids and adults could voice their opposition without any repercussions.
Now if I'm wrong, you're free to point that out,

I had a discussion about Bush's re-election in the breakroom at Microsoft, shocked that John Kerry (not a good man, but was at the time considered "anti-war") didn't win. It was again a sliver thin margin.
It's "carry the fucking water".
I wasn't as knowledgeable about Kerry as I am now. Had he become president in 2004, nothing would have changed.
richwicks says

That's what I'm pointing out. If you go by your personal experiences which I cannot validate then sure it may seem somewhat equal, but I have asked for concrete examples of people losing their jobs, livelihoods, getting canceled over the Iraq war.
but this doesn't even come close to what's happening today, where people get fired for saying there are only 2 sexes
Donahue got cancelled and basically went into hiding because he was anti-war.
It's the same.
"Repeat the fucking lies, or else".
The lies are just more obvious. You're getting to see what the division in society, first they started with lies that you actually had to do some thinking about to realize they were lies, now, they are asking you to believe a man is a woman.

Msnpc fired him, but he had numerous other work and projects going on after that and was considered for an Oscar in 2007. Ok I consider msnpc firing a 20% cancelation. But nothing dramatic really to threaten his livelihood. and he didn't hide after that, he appeared on many public events shows and discussions. I think he took the opportunity to retire out of the limelight.
Freedom of speech is essential. It could have prevented a whole fucking war,

It's not the same. There was no evidence that saddam had wmds, but absence of evidence is not evidence of absence, esp.
The Bush administration and the media openly engaged in a logical fallacy by switching the burden of proof. YOU WOULD KNOW THIS, if people weren't being censored explaining this to you 20 years ago. Now that it no longer matters, it an be discussed.

Agree with the first sentence. Disagree on the censorship, still haven't seen examples of people broadly being fired for opposing the war
At the time, the narrative that Iraq had WMD was over the top propagandized. Every media outlet was blaring it 24/7. It was similar to the amount of propaganda given for Covid.
I fell for it. I thought Iraq did have WMD.

Name the highest profile person you can think of that has been fired from a job for refusing to say that there are only 2 genders.
Again Phil Donahue was fired because he would not repeat the lies of the Bush administration.
This is not a left or right issue - we have a criminal syndicate as our government, and left and right is just a facade. It's a mask t...
You are right.
However, there are people on this site that believe Michelle Obama is a dude.
The official history is that "nobody could have known" that Iraq didn't have a weapons of mass destruction program, that it was a reasonable belief, that it WASN'T ludicrous to believe that Saddam Hussein worked with Osama bin Laden to do 9/11 (remember that?). But that isn't true.

Those people were arrested for wearing shirts.

News flash! Me! The Dixie Chicks and Richard Greer were the only people even saying the Afghanistan invasion was bullshit, the Democrats were aligned with Republicans on both invasions. Selective memory is great. The Democrats pivoted after the objected to take down Saddam Hussein was accomplished. The Dems then pivoted and said "Bush lied people died" after they were right beside the Republican war chieftains leading the battle cry.
Bullshit! that guy is a disingenuous lying scumbag. He prefaces how he and his wife wanted to go see the president. When their only intention was to protest the president.
Did Iraq have wmd ? Of course they did !! It was kepted back from the general public under the usual “ national security “ reasons.
He had 800+ people arrested for protesting his illegitimate election.

HE wasn't President at the time. Wow RichWIcks you know you're seeing the world through Rachell Madcow's eyes, you have zero intellectual integrity.
You're digging deep to justify the denial here of due process.
You're off my read list.
The folks in the video you posted at the Bush rally, I would bet you anything had the case dismissed and time served.
I bet they never saw another legal action out of it.

Biden wasn't elected. If he was actually elected, he was the most popular president candidate ever in all of time. He lost almost all the bellweather counties, there were statistical anomalies all over the place.
Was a standard CIA coup. They did the same exact thing in Guatemala and Iran in 1953, and Ukraine in 2014.
Tenpoundbass says
The folks...
Just because you keep repeating it doesn't make it true.
Claiming the right was as bad as the left today is like comparing jailing a protester at a former Republican event for one night to the jailing of the Jan 6 protesters for nearing a year under horrible condition
Make no mistake that's where three leftoids would put you if they get the power to do so. The right has never done such a thing because conservatives generally stand for civil liberties for the individual citizen.
mell says

At the end of the day, it doesn't really matter. I can go through all the statistical anomalies, all the laws that were illegally changed, the ballot discrepancies, the fact that Biden still can't get 1/2 dozen people in a room to listen to him, point out that Trump STILL will fill football stadiums. It doesn't matter, we got what we normally get, a complete puppet. This is why the 25th amendment is never bought up, it doesn't matter. We may as well have George W. Bush OR Obama as president. Same thing.
