DEE SNIDER On 'The Greatest Enemy Of Free Speech'

In a recent interview with Jared Tauber of the 90.3 WMSC FM radio station, TWISTED SISTER frontman Dee Snider was asked what he thinks is the greatest enemy of free speech today. He responded (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): "The greatest enemy of free speech is the misinterpretation of what the First Amendment means. There's this idea, and Elon Musk is a champion of it, that free speech is saying anything you want whenever you want. That is not what they meant when they wrote the First Amendment… You never could say something that could endanger someone's well-being, whether it's physical or mental, with your words. You were never allowed to scream 'Fire' in a crowded movie theater when there's no fire, because people can be hurt. You can't say things to people or post things online that could hurt people psychologically, mentally and physically destroy their lives. That's not free speech. That's being an [asshole]. Okay, so there's a difference between being an [asshole] and having free speech. So that's the biggest threat, quite honestly, is a misinterpretation of what free speech means."

Two and a half years ago, Snider, who was famously called to testify before the U.S. Senate against the proposition to have warning labels be placed on albums deemed "offensive" to listeners, spoke to NewsNation's "Banfield" about the rise of political correctness in the social media era. Asked for his opinion of cancel culture, which is the idea that someone, usually a celebrity or a public figure, whose ideas or comments are considered offensive should be boycotted, Dee said: "It's censorship. And censorship has changed quite a bit. I mean, you go to when I was in Washington testifying. By the way, it was a bipartisan effort — it was the Democrats and Republicans who were joined together in putting a leash on rock and roll. But it was definitely a conservative attitude — it was a more conservative attitude, wanting to censor music. Now censorship still exists, but it's gone from the right more to the left. We're in this P.C. [politically correct] world where we have to be careful about what we say and who we offend, and it's a very odd thing."

In 2020, Dee told Canada's The Metal Voice that a movie like "Blazing Saddles", the 1974 American satirical Western black comedy film directed by Mel Brooks "could not be made today — it literally could not be made, because it would offend too many people.

"I remember seeing that movie the first time in a theater full of African-Americans in a black neighborhood in a black theater; me and my brother were the only two white people," he continued. "And I was laughing my ass off. And my friend said, 'Stop laughing. We're gonna get our asses kicked.' And I looked around the theater, and everybody was laughing. I said, 'Everybody's laughing.' It's funny. Funny is funny.

"It's odd, because conservatism was ultra-right back in the '80s. Now it's shifted toward the left, where you've got the liberals saying, 'Oh, you can't say that, and you can't say that, and you can't say that.'

"So, yeah, [censorship] still around, it's still an issue. But we've just gotta continue to push back and fight."

In 1985, the Parents' Music Resource Center (PMRC),led by Tipper Gore, was trying to introduce a parental warning system that would label all albums containing "offensive material." The system was to include letters identifying the type of objectionable content to be found in each album (e.g. O for occult themes, S for sex, D for drugs, V for violence, etc.),which resulted in the "Parental Advisory" sticker now found on new album releases with "questionable content." The incongruous trio of Snider, Frank Zappa and John Denver were called before Congress to testify in defense of music.

In 2015, Snider wrote an Op-Ed story for HuffingtonPost.com about his experience, saying: "Thirty years later, everything and nothing has changed. The ultra-conservatives still want to dictate to the masses what they deem acceptable for the general public to see and hear. The record industry is a mere shadow of its former self (apt punishment for its cowardice),and CDs and vinyl albums have almost become 'novelties’ in a world driven by downloads. Yet, the warning labels still adorn individual track listings and albums online.

"While initially my appearance at those Senate hearings was damaging to my career and reputation, long term it was beneficial, showing people for the first time that I was much more than a screaming 'Raggedy Ann on acid' and a fairly intelligent, sentient human being. Fortunately, I have gone on to better things."

TWISTED SISTER called it quits in 2016 after completing a farewell 40th-anniversary tour.

Нет ни свободы, ни смысла. Да и слов тоже не особо.

ну в общем да. как часто люди предполагают за правами и свободами еще и собственную ответственность за действия?

Хорошо хоть есть такие как Ди, которые могут всем разъяснить, что же имели ввиду на самом деле Отцы Основатели и что свобода заканчивается там, где начинается угроза существования политической стабильности таких как Ди.

Как я и говорил ранее, вся эта левацкая шиза является гибридом политической активности и натуральной религией, где есть свои культы, ритуалы и вот эти вот "неверные толкования". определённых постулатов, которыми они же сами пользуются/пользовались в своих интересах. Ди даже не замечает, как превращается в недальновидного попа.

Как я понял, при наличии этой мифической свободы слова нельзя говорить или писать то что вызовет психическую или психологическую боль у других людей. Но черт возьми, что бы я не написал, что бы я не ляпнул, это может кого то огорчить.

Nihel, Только не стоит забывать, что без руки могущих мира сего - тех, кто в этом заинтересован - все эти нормотивы не заработают. Вот сам подумай, почему права чернокожих отстаивают, и кто мог подумать во времена рабовладельцев-южан, что силовики этой страны 2021 будут стоять на коленях перед потомками бывших рабов, а перед индейцами извиниться и поклониться никому в голову даже не пришло, даже ради пополнения электората.

gravitgroove, Пусть сначала индейцы извинятся перед Израилем за то, что они не боролись против нацистов!

Вашингтон Ирвинг, В каждой шутке есть доля шутки, только африканцы тоже не особо боролись с нацизмом, а русские боролись, но в итоге все равно виноваты, что выстояли в великую-отечественную / вторую мировую, и не вымерли после 90-х. Не для всех виноваты, но для так называемой "прогрессивной части общества". Ксюша Собчак подобную базу высрала однажды.
