Free speech is a foundation of our democracy.

“I may not agree with what you say but I will defend to the death your right to say it” has been replaced by, “You can’t talk on the college campus if you are not approved by my liberal organization.”

George Soros and Moveon.org shut down political meetings using paid protesters. The liberals who compare Trump to Hitler may want to read about the Nazi brown shirt youth groups and how they were used to break up rival meetings and shut down schools and businesses that showed the wrong movies or supported other political views.

You have lost the battle of ideas when you have to resort to taking away the free speech rights of your opposition. I am not a Trump supporter, but I believe all people, Democrat or Republican, have to condemn restrictions on free speech being promoted by these groups.
