twice now about that kind of action at a university where they also want to save my organization code pink we have spoken many times when representatives of the israeli government are here and you also have to be concerned for your physical safety because we have been thrown yet members of the audience who refuse to believe that free speech is a rape in this country we get death threats for speaking out and i even when i go on fox news and say something we know there are bigots is that our problems will be full of death threats so many levels one is a political of what the police will tolerate what the audience will tolerate like a public will tolerate and what right wing. media like this will tolerate i think that's an important point you know wasn't once in a while things that are said are deemed to be not covered under free speech but a lot of times it is the court of public opinion largely decided by the mainstream media in terms of what is and isn't appropriate even this piece we showed earlier just simply have somebody saying goldman sachs rules the world and people really thinking t

question of when free speech is and isn't free earlier i spoke with medea benjamin co-founder of code pink i asked her if there really are exceptions to the first amendment of the constitution here's her take. i think your piece was fabulous but it brought up two areas where it's very difficult to speak out in this country one is when you talk about israel and palestine and the other is if you talk about perhaps there's something that maybe people dislike that lead to being attacked or continuously being attacked there are two areas where speaking out you do at your own peril and certainly we saw helen thomas in the piece she said that you know you can say anything in the book about the president of the united states but if you say something about israel you're anti semitic i mean you do you agree that it goes out far it certainly does there are many cases that unfortunately academics like norman finkelstein who was fired from his position at the university or couldn't receive ten year because of his writings about israel palestine the case of the muslim eleven reducer murder by and who re

where ever he goes of course why again i said he's become now the godfather of politics wait what code pink slip trump is now the g.o.p. presidential kingmaker godfather i'm not really sure what michael's been smoking here but donald trump has twenty two percent of all of the republican primary voters locked up in order to follow him wherever he goes i mean really where do you get these figures because we couldn't find him anywhere this guy actually reminds me of the donald himself he's totally full of crap and a.b.c. news didn't even call him out on it but he asked for any proof of those figures but i remember back in the spring when trump jumped on the burger bandwagon when he was flirting with a run for the white house going on every news network to spread the birth theory about president obama. kitty thank you was born in this country i am really concerned are you with this or started a week ago i used a look here have no characters but remember if you had known her sister the president of the united states the reason i have a little doubt just a little because you grew up in nobody kne
