What is a free speech liberal?
Is that a bad thing?? (Hannity is so delusional-I know-but if you know how other people think...)

1. Someone who supports the First Amendment
Which is why Hannity may be so down on them.

Honest free speech conservatives are pretty cool, too, by the way.

BushCo, by its actions, appears to be anti-free speech.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
— The First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution

6. That was my point, I'm thinkin'
We are all free speech liberals, and God bless us! And I'm not even religious! Express yourself! That's part of the point of being here; this site is great.

7. I have a feeling...
That we're going to get hit from the right about this whole Sinclair thing. They're going to try to brand us as anti-free speech because we're trying to stop the Sinclair broadcast. Just be ready for it when it comes.

Remember that this isn't about free speech. This is about election laws. The FEC is very clear on which political activities are allowed and which aren't, and all we're doing is demanding that Sinclair follow the laws just like everyone else.
