Do liberals want to chill speech: the attempted silencing of Shapiro

Who would argue that this is a clear attempt to chill free speech and intimidate?

Good to see you're on board w/ the concept.

Because this is a clear attempt to chill speech. Dixie Chicks kept on speaking, but they are physically trying to stop him from speaking.
 
No.

Did anyone try to bar them from talking?

Nope. But there is no doubt whatsoever that pro-war nuts tried to intimidate the Chicks to get them to shut up, which ended up keeping others in the artistic community from speaking out. Which is why the expression "Dixie Chicked" is so ingrained in the lexicon today.

It definitely chilled free speech. No doubt at all. Intimidation most certainly can take other forms aside from physical.

The only place that the phrase is ingrained, is in liberal land; where the world is only black and white. :palm:
