Free Speech is Unfair?

And, it would seem, terrorist, too:

From a Q&A with the speaker of the California assembly, Karen Bass, in the Los Angeles Times:

Q: How do you think conservative talk radio has affected the Legislature’s work?

A: 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.

I guess she said it: “I guess it’s about free speech, but it’s extremely unfair.”

Thinking back a bit, I seem to recall that prior to January 20th, dissent was the highest form of patriotism – now, its terrorism? And the Speaker of the California Assembly doesn’t “know why we allow” free speech to exist?

Interesting. Liberals, have anything to say?
