@crobmatthews If a NYT columnist was revealed to be a holocaust denier, the Times doesn't have a right to fire them? — PolitiTweet.org

@pjfleischer No. It's a simple case of you literally not understanding the 1st amendment. — PolitiTweet.org

jeremy scahill @jeremyscahill

@crobmatthews 1st amendment is about Congress *legislating* prohibition of free speech. Not whether you have a right to a TV show. — PolitiTweet.org

@pjfleischer You should go back in a time machine and kill the people who drafted the first amendment. — PolitiTweet.org

@crobmatthews That is all in the eye of the beholder. HBO also has a right not to fire him. I'm addressing people w… https://t.co/YvBsn2KTz0 — PolitiTweet.org

@pjfleischer Let's try this: you go read some case law on the constitutional and legal history of free speech in this country. — PolitiTweet.org

jeremy scahill @jeremyscahill

@Bailleymarshall @AliLewsley Uh. I suggest you look around. A lot of people are saying precisely that. — PolitiTweet.org

jeremy scahill @jeremyscahill

@mragjr @kathygriffin Yes. CNN had a right to fire her. Whether any of us agrees or disagrees with CNN is irrelevant. — PolitiTweet.org

@AliLewsley I face the consequences of my speech all the time. Why is this so hard to grasp? — PolitiTweet.org

Don't you have some kooky muscle supplements to sell or some on air crying to do? https://t.co/HcRhkXf9wE — PolitiTweet.org

jeremy scahill @jeremyscahill

@FriedrichDrumpf And private companies like HBO have a right to fire people. — PolitiTweet.org

jeremy scahill @jeremyscahill

You have a right to be a racist. You have a right to be a bigot. But you don't have a *right* to be *given* airtime on TV to be those things — PolitiTweet.org

jeremy scahill @jeremyscahill

There is free speech. And there are also consequences for the speech you choose to use. Free speech doesn't erase accountability. — PolitiTweet.org
