The sad part is that the people saying this have no idea of the massive irony of it. It's thinly veiled it's-ok-when-my-side-does-it behavior. Public discourse is so far removed from the founding father's idea of freedom of speech that I think it's irreconcilable. The left/right are firmly entrenched in their bubbles and don't give a shit about the higher principles America was founded on.

So much for Jefferson's tree of liberty; it might as well be burning right now.
