Mandating speech to be heard irrespective of standards is, isn’t free speech at all.

Who's standards are you referring to?

And what about the individual on stage that made blatant anti-2nd Amendment comments? Would you suggest eliminating him to, or is this within these standards you referred to?

>>Who’s standards are you referring to?

Almost everyone’s. There are clearly standards which already exist, that disqualify inclusion. More extreme example would be an advocate for say a reintroduction of slavery. This would disqualify from inclusion, as sure as tomorrow’s sunrise. But who’s standard is that? It’s a fairly universal one. The question therefore is does 9/11 masochism rise to their level? I think it does. But of course, that’s just my idea, which it’s why we’re discussing it.

>>And what about the individual on stage that made blatant anti-2nd Amendment comments?

As a second-amendment rights advocate I would wish that such a standard existed, but I’m afraid it isn’t true. There are many Republicans who support gun control unfortunately. But how many agree that 9/11 was the fault of the United States? That the United States had it coming? That the terrorists had a point? Few, if any. I think this is a disqualification.
