"criticising" aka Death threats and effectively chasing chasing someone out of the country.People criticised it, that's free speech. Did the right protest and try to block him from performing however? Nope. Meanwhile, look what happens when a conservative tries to speak on an American college campus. Rabid left wing groups do all they can to block them from speaking, and have been successful many times. There's just no comparison, many on the left hate free speech and jump at any chance of censoring opposing views.
2GB and 3AW didn't air Macklemore playing his song (but played the rest of the pre game entertainment). But that's not censoring. That's "free speech" yeah? How does this differ from "rabid left wing" groups protesting?
For all the "free speech" the right talk up they are the biggest censors of the lot.
Question the military? You must respect our troops.
Question the police? You must respect the police.
Don't wanna sing the national anthem? Fire his ass.
