In the second blockquoted paragraph, we see: <b>"How many progressives who celebrated the First Amendment on Sunday sympathize with college students who chant 'speech is violence' and seek to block conservatives from college campuses?"</b> I think this is both a general reference and a specific dig at the recent cowardly cancellation of Milo Yiannopoulos's free-speech march.Kevin Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01328790917314282058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5541500.post-21578535898430540562017-09-26T17:30:38.845+09:002017-09-26T17:30:38.845+09:00What I find most amusing is the players are suppos...What I find most amusing is the players are supposedly taking a knee in order to protest social injustice, but all everyone is talking about is whether that action is disrespectful to the flag and what it represents. I'm in that camp personally. Anyway, there are better ways to fight against injustice. And like you say Trump is playing these folks to his advantage.<br /><br />I get what French is saying, BUT...wasn't it just last week that the left was trying to deny right wing speakers a platform in Berkeley? Free speech for me but not thee is seems.<br /><br />Ah well, it's all a distraction and ultimately meaningless.John Machttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02614775172062071697noreply@blogger.com
