has anyone publicly abandoned him for his free speech hypocrisy?
seemingly not
indicating that no one was really turned on by his pretending to be a free speech purist
it's just like Fox fans championing their 'fair and balanced' propaganda when they actually want neither
most of the ones who championed his 'free speech stuff will never admit it. they don't wanna the 'I told you so' so they will stick by it no matter how bad it gets..lol
