Freedom of Speech More Important Than Offending Others, Say 85 Percent of Americans: Poll

By Geller Report Staff

 

In the face of PayPal’s shameful debacle of banning the likes of Pamela Geller, Robert Spencer and the counterjihad PI News site, comes this slice of good news: Fully 85 percent of Americans say freedom of speech is more important than the risk of offending people.
 
The poll, conducted by Rasmussen Reports, was just published this week, around the same time Spencer’s Jihad Watch account was blocked — briefly — by PayPal. Similar blocks occurred to the accounts of the German-based PI News and the donation-funded Pamela Geller accounts.

“PayPal did inndeed suspend my account after a hit piece by ProPublic, a George Soros-funded uber-left quote-unquote ‘think tank,’ as it were,” Geller told Breitbart News Daily.

Well, if polls are to believed, most Americans find such censorship outright distasteful.
