        But...but...according to the conservatives on this very site, ONLY liberals EVER try to infringe on their freedom of speech!!

        Could it be...that...they are wrong?

        No, impossible. Therefore, this story must be wrong. Yes...that's it. This is all a liberal conspiracy...designed to, um...make them look bad... o,O
