However, they wouldn't deny you free speech or access. They do this more often then conservatives do. From flat out refusals of access, to having crowds shout down speakers opposing affirmitive action or other ideas from the left. Boy Scouts are banned from using public facilities in some cities. The left likes to think of itself as supremly tolerant but it is only tolerant of ideas that it consider acceptable. academia.org theatlantic.com frontpagemag.com cornellreview.org townhall.com newsmax.com nljonline.com "Schwartz described a recent case in which the Boy Scouts were refused permission to use an auditorium at the National Zoo because the Boy Scouts officially acknowledge the existence of a Supreme Being. " nationalcenter.org libertyhaven.com nationalreview.com iwf.org nationalreview.com townhall.com "At UC Berkeley, birthplace of the Free Speech Movement, a graduate teaching instructor who is a leader in the pro-Palestinian movement on campus has incited a nationwide controversy by trying to control the tenor of discussion in his class. Snehal Shingavi, 26, a fifth-year graduate student in English, who will be teaching an undergraduate English class on "The Politics and Poetics of Palestinian Resistance," in the fall included in his class description a "warning" that "conservative thinkers are encouraged to seek other sections."" campus-watch.org

Ted Re... didn't say liberals would not react negatively. However, they wouldn't deny you free speech or access........that's what the Hall of Fame is doing to Robbins and Sarandon. Ridiculous. The Hall of Fame doesn't owe Robbins, Sarandon, or any one else a platform to express their views on the movie, baseball, or the war. . They initially offered them one, and when they became embroiled in a controversy, withdrew their invitation. You keep on trying to blame the head of the Hall, when it is likely, the decision to drop the promotion probably came from the commissioners office. Baseball likes to think of itself as the national pastime. Baseball's endorsement of Robbins and Sarandon, at this time looked bad for baseball, and many fans probably let Bud Selig know, that if the Hall went forward with honoring the war protestors, they were canceling their season tickets. Baseball is already having trouble getting fans out to watch the games,largely because of loud mouthed, greedy players and couldn't afford to take the chance.
