Quotable: Barry Nolan on the myth of free speech
"In today's America, speech is only 'free' when you are talking down to someone less powerful that you. Speak 'up' — and look out.
"In your work life, they can fire you, as I found out, for quietly saying something that is widely known to be true. Put a lid on it."
--Barry Nolan, who was fired for telling the awful truth about Bill O'Reilly at an awards banquet where the latter was undeservedly honored for being a professional liar
