Who's more tolerant of dissenting views: liberals or conservatives?

You hear it all the time from conservatives: The left must remember to tolerate dissenting opinions. But if you’ve followed the news cycle recently, you may have noticed that it hasn’t been the left imposing social penalties on its members for expressing controversial opinions recently. It’s been the right.

Tomi Lahren formerly of The Blaze, who was once hailed as the second coming of Ann Coulter, is now fighting to retain control of her Facebook page after being unceremoniously dropped for daring to express a pro-choice opinion. Meanwhile Milo Yiannopoulos formerly of Breitbart — whom the right once claimed to venerate because of his willingness to flout the taboos of discourse — was toppled last month when it was discovered he had once seemingly condoned ephebophilia.

So what gives? Why are members of the left regularly denounced as “special snowflakes” when the right just took down two of its highest profile pundits for daring to stray from the ideological reservation?

“Both ends of the political spectrum can be vociferous defenders of speech with which they agree, but are sorely tested when speech offends them,” said Ken Paulson — president of the First Amendment Center and dean of Middle Tennessee State University’s College of Mass Communication, as well as former editor-in-chief of USA Today. “America became a great country in large part because everyone could share an opinion, and over time, the best ideas forged our nation. Today everyone is free to speak, but where’s the value if no one is willing to listen?”

“The First Amendment protects insightful ideas, but also stupid, insensitive, hateful and deeply offensive speech,”Paulson added in an email. “There’s no cherry-picking the right to speak.”

David Hudson, a law professor at Vanderbilt University, echoed Paulson’s views.

“I call it the dissonance between the ideal and the real,” Hudson told Salon in an email. “The ideal is that we support free speech; we tolerate and even encourage opposing viewpoints. The real is that we despise contrary viewpoints and take measures to silence them; we fail to adhere to the essence of the First Amendment — our blueprint for personal liberty.”

“Liberals and conservatives both suppress speech,” Hudson concluded. “Neither side has a monopoly on it. Censorship is as common an impulse as sex. What we need is a greater commitment all across the political spectrum to accept and listen to speech that we don’t like.”

Rest of article here: Free speech vs. safe spaces: Are conservatives “special snowflakes” when it comes to discourse they don’t like?

Based on what I've seen on this forum since signing up, conservatives BY FAR are the ones who are the most likely to suppress discourse that they don't like. There isn't a safe space cozy enough for the conservatives on this forum, that's for sure.

Pretty much bullshit from a generation cupcake member. I mean everyone knows the left is always first to shut down free speech and remove an individuals rights.

Can't take the heat when its shoved back down your throat then go play in the kiddie pool with the rest of the conservative snowflakes.

Or go find your safe zone, the one Republicans create where guns are not permitted because they are afraid of their own base.

Those Right wing Pieces of shit are pure ass PUSSY...they love to gay bait and feminize liberals but the Rube Pussy Cannot handle aggressive Liberals without breaking down crying and whining about "Open Debate...they love it though when the Shit Gibbon Orange anus makes Fun of the Disabled...they Love that Macho Alpha stuff LOL

Its hilarious when the first thing out of their mouth is "why aren't 'libruls' tolerant on everything and everyone under the sun like they claim to be"? They invoke these phoney memes that their pussy group comes up with as if it is written in stone. And as noted they whine and gnash their teeth when they get their shit shoved back up their anus.

Conservative SNOWFLAKES.

Might want to ask Van Jones what he thinks of this piece...

Why?

Can't you express your own opinions?

if you don't know who Van Jones is, then use the Google.

and I have no problems expressing my own opinions. where you'd fabricate that out of that post I have no idea....

USMB Rightwingers only like their own freedom of speech. I mean these are people who whine about the very existence of gay people. They never matured past junior high is the problem.

When is the last time rightwing college students rioted and thus successfully stopped a lefty from speaking?

You're one of the biggest whiners about gay people huh?

I don't care what those college kids did, but sure they were being jackasses. They don't represent liberalism.

Why do you imagine that they do not represent liberalism?

Because they are young and naive. Once they become adults in the real world, they'll see their hypocrisy.

You mean when they are 30?

Lefties smashed windows and burned cars during the inauguration. Every conservative speaker (including Ann Coulter) has been a victim of assault on a college campus some time or numerous times in their careers. Barry Hussein tried to silence Talk Radio with an ironically named "fairness doctrine bill". As a matter of fact Barry Hussein's political mentor was a domestic terrorist who bombed corporations and Military centers. Tell me again how does the left deal with dissenting views?

Righties blew up the Murrah Building in Oklahoma City, murdering how many? A right wing racist shot up a black church in Atlantic City. Right winger Adam Lanz, with the virulent right wing, survivalist mother shot up the Sandy Hook Elementary School.

Right wing talk radio has dumbed down political discourse in the US by lying to the gullible fools who listen to the endless lying of these commentators.

Three isolated incidents spread over decades compared to the universal and often violent push against conservative speech?
