Every so often we get a bit of insight into the minds of the liberal Hollywood elite. And it’s always a terrifying experience.

“I don’t think people fought and gave their lives so that some guy can sit in his bedroom and be mean. I don’t think that’s what freedom of speech is,” he continued. “Freedom of speech is really about assembly — for us to collectively have an idea. We want to get our point of view out so we can assemble and I can appoint you to be the spokesman. That’s freedom of speech — to be able to collectively speak for a sector of people. But somehow it’s turned into ‘I can be an asshole whenever I feel like, say whatever I like, be disrespectful to people and not be courteous.’ It’s not good for our society. Not being courteous is not really freedom of speech. …

Get that? Freedom of speech doesn’t mean you have an individual right to have and express your own, separate opinion. No, it only means that a “collective” of people have the right to have the same exact idea and appoint one spokesman to express it on behalf of all of them. Quite the patriotic spirit…if we were in Communist Russia.
