Please point to an incident where they were silenced. The backlash they received was in in response to them using their concert as a political platform. Audience members paid to see them entertain, not spew their political views. That is the same as the Hollywood award shows. They are no longer entertainment. They are political events. No one is attempting to shut them down on the right. Those of us on the right who don’t want to watch the politics simply don’t.
And therein lays the difference. The right votes with their feet, by simply walking away from something they don’t agree with. The left attempts to shutdown that which the disagree with.
I never implied this was an isolated incident. I made it clear that this type of crap takes place on the left almost daily. There is absolutely no tolerance for opposing points of view.
The evidence is out there pretty much on a daily basis. I could probably start a new thread every day with the latest incidents. But I’m guessing the mods wouldn’t have much tolerance for that, so I won’t.
In any case, LIBs would still twist themselves into pretzels denying the intolerance for dissent on the left.
Rushed to the forums all twitterpated this morning with his Outrage Accelerator floored.
“Oh, now we see the violence inherent in the leftists! COME AND SEE THE VIOLENCE INHERENT IN THE LEFTISTS! HELP HELP, TRUMPISTS ARE BEING REPRESSED!!!”
“I’d like to punch him in the face.”
“Knock the crap out of him, would you?”
“I’ll beat the crap out of you.”
“If you do it (hurt him), I’ll defend you in court, don’t worry about it.”
“The audience hit back. That’s what we need a little bit more of.”
“Maybe he should have been roughed up.”
“Part of the problem is, no one wants to hurt each other anymore.”
“I don’t know if I’ll do the fighting myself or if other people will.”
Three guesses what Trump hatin’ malcontent said these things. Your first two guesses don’t count.
A punk rock singer jumping off the stage to clock someone who flipped him off for 2 songs from the front row is a thing that happens. It’s not evidence of how much more measured and reasonable “the right” are. You’re working backwards from your own bias. There are plenty of incidents of people on your “team” punching people from the other team. Heck your president encouraged it at a rally as it was happening.
