Horrible.

This is why America is the best country!  Freedom of Speech, even for extreme views (as long as its not accompanied by physical threats or violence), is allowed.

NOT true, Antifa and the left now have the right to silence those they disagree with. Thank god Trump has the courage to speak up about it.

I don't agree with outright silencing a group. However, another group has every right to protest peacefully in counteract to what they do not believe in. You know how the Westboro Baptist Church protests at fallen soldiers funerals? Well, the Patriot Guard Riders counteract their (WBC) freedom of speech by forming a line in front of them and revving their engines. One group utilized their freedom of speech to "silence or subdue" another group.

But, in general, America is still the greatest country when it comes to Freedom of Speech when compared to most other countries.

True liberalism is a good thing.  Freedom, liberty, choice, all that.  Unfortunately, true liberals are becoming a minority because too much of the democrat party anymore are not true liberals, they are leftists.  Leftists are hate-filled trash that don't believe in choice, liberty, etc. but rather, want to silence and remove anyone they don't agree with.  Foolish morons that are destroying everything true liberty-lovers hold dear.

Great if it was actually true, which it isn't.

Agreed. It's sad.

There are many things the left has done which I disagree with: safe spaces in colleges/universities, disinviting guest lectures who hold certain political/religious beliefs, silencing freedom of speech. It's not true liberty. We should be expected to be kept reasonably safe from threats of physical violence or harm. Not from hurt feelings. On the other hand, I do hope, and perhaps naively, that people will come to have a mutual respect for each other and would not want to hurt others, even emotionally. However, that should not be forced or dictated--you can't force others to care about others. It has to be an internal process of  "finding out," a mutual recognition--but it can't be dictated or forced. The left is trying to force and dictate behavior--that will only make people more angrier.

First Amendment protects the speech you hate as well as the speech you agree with. It's a very "progressive" concept, really. Nobody has the right to be un-offended.

Putin is a scared little man. Psychopath too, a classic one.

A sign of weakness and insecurity, if a man is afraid of such groups (Putin is also frightened by cartoons, and artist, pathetic guy)

Judging by all the millennials causing chaos we are reaping the rewards of children bought up in day care. Children in general were bought up by their mother in the 70's, 60's, 50's, 40's and much later. This is the first generation of generation nothing that was bought up in day care without values, morals or guidance.
