The Left’s War on Free Speech Is Far Bigger Than Just IRS Intimidation

The Left’s War on Free Speech Is Far Bigger Than Just IRS Intimidation

By Matthew Sheffieldon Fri, 21 Jun 2013

U.S. Senator Mitch McConnell delivered an excellent speech today on the critical topic of free speech and how the far left has been engaging in a broad effort to censor conservatives. Contrary to what some may think, this censorship campaign has been ongoing for a number of years and includes methods beyond intimidation and harrassment by the Internal Revenue Service of conservative groups.

McConnell's remarks today are a followup to a speech he gave on this same topic last year. Since that time, the left's efforts to silence conservative voices has only increased. The senator also discusses how President Obama and his liberal supporters in the media and in office have created a culture of intimidation where conservatism is assumed to be not only incorrect but also morally repugnant and even criminal.
