I can see both sides. It's an attempt to make the Left live by the rules it tries to enforce on those outside their own tribe.

"You stop us when we say something that offends you; now for a limited time we're going to return the 'favor' to each you a lesson."
-
My problem with this idea is the 'limited time' belief. Once you begin engaging in behavior like this, will you really turn it off later?
-
The best response here would be to produce YOUR OWN SPEECH to make this point. For instance, art depicting Obama being killed, etc.
-
That was done during his Presidency. To include the Guthrie Theater doing an identical production in 2012. No one protested.
-
Not true. No evidence this EVER happened.
-
Oh Cindy, it happened. Whether you like it or not.
-
In Obama's America, a theater put on a play where Obama was assassinated. And I never heard a WORD about it. Still marveling at this.

agreed. Replicating the Left's tactics & seeking to shut down free speech is daft.
-
bear in mind that this is incitement to murder however, if anyone in the audience is unhinged.
-
Plays are not an increment to murder. That is absolutely ridiculous. Guess Julius Caesar should be banned now and Shakespeare burned

-
that's an overreaction, and not what I said - staging, not content is the issue.
-
So was it an issue in 2012 when they did the exact same play in the exact same place with Obama?

-
for me yes: simulated murder of a divisive figure (e.g. All politicians) is http://P.W.FIRE .
-
You conservatives are so authoritarian and easily offended. Seriously, it's a play. And freedom of speech btw...
-
I don't want it banned - it is freaking irresponsible though. Same for the Obama staging.

You're wasting your breath. It's all fake because it doesn't match their point of view.
