Lefties against the freedom of speech?
Troll indeed, it is the right wing people that attempt to remove the freedom of speech.
Yes, lefties against free speech.

...As if on cue, President Obama told students at Georgetown University that “we’re going to have to change how our body politic thinks, which means we’re going to have to change how the media reports on these issues.” This should be enough to send a shudder down the spines of every editor, reporter and television personality in town. It was of a piece with the president’s obsession with restricting press access to him. He was elected on a promise to be the most transparent president in history, and he will leave office as perhaps the least transparent.
Attacking the press is a time-rested tactic; politicians have been shouting calumny against “them lyin’ newspapers” since the earliest days of the republic. But a White House blog is dedicated to denouncing its critics, and the Obama administration obsesses on one specific news organization.
Silencing those who dissent from the politically correct and aren’t willing to “go along to get along” pervades the culture in ways that go well beyond politics. Christians are bullied and forced off college campuses in the name of “tolerance” when Christian religious organizations limit membership to those who share their religious beliefs. Conservative commencement speakers are cancelled because students, often with encouragement by their professors, won’t listen to contrary views.
Name-calling is particularly nasty. Conservative women are labeled “puppets of the patriarchy” and “gender traitors.” Conservative blacks are “Uncle Tom,” “house Negro” or “SAMBO,” a white person trapped inside a black body.
