Free Speech?

[A Black Falcon]

But the line between those things is in some cases closer than you admit... like, Russia clearly goes over the line -- people get arrested for speaking (like Yukos -- he might well be guilty, but lots of people are of that and he was only arrested because of his anti-Putin views...). But some still can talk. But no one can hear them because no national media covers it... sure, that's a much more extreme case than this. And the speaker there could make his points elsewhere and also get seen by some. But not that audience... and it's just very rude and inappropriate to do what they did. You shouldn't be condoning such behavior.

And anyway, the way you phrased it originally you sounded like you thought he deserved it for making a left-wing political speech at a university commencement. So it's bad for him to do that but not really that bad if it's a conservative doing the same thing?
