    The Boston *Free Speech* Rally

    Today


    More than 20,000 expected to protest Boston’s ‘Free Speech’ rally

    A heavy police presence is already mounting in Boston ahead of a “Free Speech” rally planned for Saturday, with officials expecting this to be the largest public gathering since the protests in Charlottesville, Virginia last weekend.


    Organizers say the rally isn’t about white nationalism, but rather having the right to express your views.

    It seems like you can win any argument by formulating it as free speech, especially when it comes to the oppression of women. That's what the right does nowadays. Online harassment of women and threats of murder and rape are defended as free speech. Pornography is defended as free speech. The mercifully cancelled March on Google to demand that the company stop hiring women on the grounds that women are biologically unfit for the technology sector was formulated as an anti-censorship march. Today's white nationalist rally in Boston has the formal title of March for Free Speech as their descriptor of a man murdering a woman with his car last weekend. You see the pattern?

    But the right of people to protest this event, by contrast, won't be branded as OUR free speech, no! THAT will be labeled "censorship" because only conservatives have constitutional rights!

    Do you make this stuff up?

    Please send me a link to today's march as 'their descriptor of a man murdering a woman with his car last weekend"
    Please send me a link for a "March on Google" advocating that they stop hiring women or that it was formulated as an anti-censorship march. (You realize that they fired that kid for speaking his honest thoughts, right?)
    Please send me a link to support your statement that online harassment of women and threats of murder and rape are defended as free speech.
    Yes, according to the Supreme Court (the liberal Warren Court, mind you) Pornography between two consenting adults is free speech.
    Yes, you have the absolute right to protest this event -- and I 100% support that right.
    No, liberals have constitutional rights as well.

    I think the bill for all the extra security should be split by Chris Cantwell, Matt Heimbach and Richard B Spencer.

    If there is more Nazi violence: Hold them (and Trump) responsible.

    If there is more counter-protestor violence, who should be held responsible?
