@SamHarrisOrg @PENamerican Some people are so consumed by the idea of being liberal that they've forgotten what it means.

@SamHarrisOrg@PENamerican Yes, shame on them for having thoughtful and nuanced views on a complicated issue.#fuckthat#dronesaretheasnwer -
@erimfoster@SamHarrisOrg@PENamerican they're protesting an award given to a mag that had its staff slaughtered. Nuance? It's moral lunacy. -
@FalonQuick@SamHarrisOrg@PENamerican Did you read Eisenberg's letters? Saying she's "protesting an award" is silly and simplistic. -
@erimfoster@SamHarrisOrg@PENamerican yeah, among other things she spoke opprobriously about the work of dead cartoonists. -
@FalonQuick@SamHarrisOrg@PENamerican But I did learn a new word today, so thanks for that.#opprobriously

@samharrisorg@penamerican Why? Being critical of content is also a right, like freedom from harm/death when expressing a political opinion. -
@deBeauxOs1@SamHarrisOrg@PENamerican Did Harris say they shouldn’t be allowed to express their criticism or something? -
@axe_grrl@samharrisorg said they "should be ashamed" so I understood that to mean Ondaatje et al should STFU wrt their opinions. -
@deBeauxOs1@SamHarrisOrg Ah, hmm…I didn’t interpret it that way at all. I just read that as Harris giving his opinion on their stance. -
@axe_grrl And@samharrisorg's opinion was that their opinions were something that they should be ashamed of. So I guess it all balances out. -
@deBeauxOs1@SamHarrisOrg As long as he isn’t calling for censorship/trying to silence expression, I have no prob w him critiquing their pos -
@axe_grrl One does sense that@PENamerican would have preferred that Ondaatje et al not express their opinions quite so publicly, which... -
@axe_grrl ..is ironic given@penamerican is *honouring* CH for its loud, don't-give-a-damn-if-it-offends style of lampooning institutions.
