Left-wing politicians and broadcasters do not want to debate ideas but they do want to remove their opponents.
The Left does not want a debate or an open market in ideas. It wants to extirpate its opponents – to remove them from the field. It actually seems to believe that it is justified in snuffing out any possibility of our arguments reaching the impressionable masses – and bizarrely, it defends this stance in the name of fairness.
This reminds me of the quote attributed to Obama, in which he said that he would be in favor of higher capital gains taxes even if it didn't result in higher tax collections. His reason was on the grounds of fairness.
But what is fair and what isn't? Somebody has to decide, and who will that be? Why, the left, of course. It is the whole point. In terms of economics, somebody has to decide what is fair and what isn't. Who decides in those cases? Why, the left does, of course. Everything seems to revolve around the left. They get to decide everything, while at the same time claiming that they are the only true arbiters of what is fair.
