Blacklist? Great idea. Freedom of speech is so over-rated.

You entirely miss the point. Freedom of Speech is fine. The Republicans who attack Palin have every right to do so.

But her supporters have the right to attack them for helping the liberal establishment and work for their electoral defeat.

You seem to lack understanding of the meaning of freedom of speech. No one is calling for imprisonment by the gov’t for people because of their words. You don’t get freedom from consequences of your speech, nor do you get freedom from being offended by the speech of others, despite what many seem to think.

There’s nothing wrong with working to throw people out of office because you don’t agree with their ideas (such as those who dislike Palin because they want to suck up to the MSM). Throwing people out of office because you disagree with their ideas and actions is what a Republic is all about. Crying “suppression of freedom of speech!” over that is absurd.

Exactly. An idiot tactic like this, would, to paraphrase Grover Norquist, shrink the GOP to a size where it could be drowned in a bathtub.

I note your sarcasm, but we must all remember it certainly does have consequences.
