> Public Service Announcement: The Right to Free Speech means the government can't arrest you for what you say. It doesn't mean that anyone else has to listen to your bullshit or host you while you share it.

> The 1st Amendment doesn't shield you from criticism or consequences.

> If you're yelled at, boycotted, have your show cancelled, or get banned from an internet community, your free speech rights aren't being violated. It's just that the people listening to you think you're an asshole, and they're showing you the door.

That's such a stupid comic. The 1st Amendment doesn't give you a right to free speech, it says they won't take away your right.

The comic correctly spells out some of the implications and limitations of the first amendment.
