    A congressional campaign to stop an invited speaker from speaking is absolutely stifling free speech.

      I don’t give a fuck what you have to say and I’m not going to listen to you if you say it, and I’m certainly not going to let you walk into my house and spew your bullshit genocidal lies.

      There, did I stifle your free speech? No, I didn’t.

      It’s no different from what these congresspeople are doing. To say nothing of the fact that Netanyahu isn’t a fucking US citizen so the bill of rights doesn’t apply to him anyway

        Yes, you’re exactly proving my point. You’re running away and hiding from people who don’t align with your thinking. That doesn’t help society. It just puts you further and further into your Echo chamber.

        Undermining The US government by scuttling an invited speaker is absolutely stifling Free speech whether you care or not.

          Ah right, because allowing fascists a platform to lie to people has worked out sooooo goddamn well in recent history.

          Keep licking those boots bud.

            Because allowing the speaker of the house to platform an ally who the American people are funding is exactly what the American people deserve.

            But instead of having the capacity to listen to a conflicting opinion, people are losing their minds like the choken headed morons they are.

                If Congress decides to stop sending Israel after he speaks to them, then that’s something that the American people will have to live with. Including the increase in terrorism and the decrease in American jobs that would come along with it.
