I am writing in response to YAF speaker poor choice, brings hate speech at MSU (SN 3/25). Mike Adams makes a poor assumption about the nature of freedom of speech. He preempts the newest MSU Young Americans for Freedom speaker by saying “They should instead host a debate of some kind where both sides can present what they believe. MSU YAF claims to like free speech, but they only like free speech for themselves.”
So Mike Adams, why does MSU YAF have to express their free speech only on your terms? Aren’t they free to express any ideas they have in any legitimate format, such as inviting a speaker? I have never seen you write a letter telling hosts of liberal speakers they should instead have a balanced forum. So do you actually support free speech, or only free speech for yourself?
