I took some behind-the-scenes heat from progressive friends for tying the Twitter Dome Scandal -- the fight over House rules on web tools -- to the broader and decades long effort by conservatives to paint liberals as anti-free speech cowards. There's a risk, I argued, in jumping on the John Culberson bandwagon, because it only goes to further the meme that congressional Democrats lust after one nation under the Fairness Doctrine, where speech is regulated and unpleasant talk banned. But Republican Policy chair Thad McCotter makes that point far better than I can.
