Silencing From The Left

So, Chris Matthews at MSNBC is out. And while the media is playing his ouster off as being related to inappropriate comments related to the #metoo movement, I think it is clear why he is truly gone.
I have very rarely agreed with Chris Matthews. But in the later stages of the Democrat race, Matthews has been very critical of the candidates, and of socialism.
In particular, he has been critical of both Bernie Sanders, and Elizabeth Warren.
This is the reason Chris Matthews is off the air. Look, on the left, it has always been very clear that you tow the party line. You do not dissent. You do not criticize.
Moreover, you are not entitled, on the left, to have an opinion of your own. You are not allowed, on the left, to speak ill of anyone on the left.
You are to sit down, spew the talking points, and gratify the party and its policies, and if you do not do this, you will either be ostracized, or simply lead out of the building.
On the left you are simply not permitted to have a voice. We have seen this time and time again. And Chris Matthews is just the latest example of this.
It is what the left does. It is unfortunate that Chris Matthews had to be let go. Not that I will miss him. But despite my disagreement with most of what Matthews has said over the years, and certainly my disagreement with his politics, I cannot and should not ever be okay with someone's voice being silenced just because the opinion being expressed is different from what the rest of any group wants the opinion to be.
In this case, his own party

Shep Smith was a tool. He is out for very different reasons. Check your history.
Can liberals EVER be honest with themselves? Gosh. It sure is something else. I can cite many examples of conservatives holding THEIR people accountable. Why can't liberals do that? With liberals anything goes.
Clinton rapes women...fine with that. Just his life. Let him be. Trump says "grab 'em by the p-u-s-s-y and all of a sudden he's the devil.
BTW, ALL of the people in the #metoo movement who abused and raped women are ALL on the left.
Oh how frustrating reality must be for liberals.
The irony must kill you.

@NJChicaa I have never heard of any of them. What I was suggesting is that if these exist with any factual evidence, CNN, MSNBC and any other liberal media would be all over it, The fact that they are not speaks volumes. Otherwise they'd have given up already on Russia because this would be a much bigger story.
As for impacts of comments. Wow. Clinton actually raped women. lol To hell with the comments. Clinton went all in.

It was shocking to hear about this last night. My family was watching it and told me about it, this morning I went on youtube to see his last words for myself. If he is savvy enough, or knows someone who is savvy enough, he could create his own podcast or blog and still have a voice, but time will tell whether that happens or not.

It's all opinion nowadays. We all know which way MSNBC swings and that shouldn't be a problem but it is when they skew the news to suit their personal agendas. The big news agencies know 'the people' for the most part are lazy as hell and won't do their due diligence. They'd rather watch a clip here n there and someone else spew an opinion than form one of their own with all the facts.
Maybe Chris will land in a better place now he's been escorted out.

I'm all for freedom of speech; but since I'm not familiar with Chris Matthew's agenda; I leave my comments at that.

Well.It is quite simple. Matthews is a lefty. BUT, he's recently voiced dissent against the party and its candidates. He actually reasoning. And for that...he is done. The left has sent him packing. He's not towing the party line and so for that...he has to go...according to them.
