Madam Speaker Karen Bass of the California Assembly recently gave an interview to the LA Times where she, among other things, likened talk radio hosts to Terrorists:
How do you think conservative talk radio has affected the Legislature’s work?
The Republicans were essentially threatened and terrorized against voting for revenue. Now [some] are facing recalls. They operate under a terrorist threat: “You vote for revenue and your career is over.” I don’t know why we allow that kind of terrorism to exist. I guess it’s about free speech, but it’s extremely unfair.
So, “free speech” she doesn’t like is “unfair”… all free speech is free, but some is more free than others. I guess it’s like pornography or obsenity. I’ll know it when I see it. Unless, of course, a politician of Speaker Bass’ ilk tells me what I should be thinking and seeing.
