One of CFK’s prominent bootlickers, propagandist Roberto Navarro, owner of “Radio El Destape” and “AM El Mundo”, has accused several journalists (Jorge Lanata, Eduardo Feinmann, Luis Majul, Jonatan Viale, Alfredo Leuco, Baby Echecopar) of generating violence and spreading hatred. He also warned: “They should be afraid” and suggested: “We have to do something to stop them”. Navarro has thus launched a sort of McCarthyist witch hunting; he openly advocates a restriction on freedom of expression. Such a threat is clearly unacceptable in a democratic society. Let me quote some wise men’s words. George Orwell: “If liberty means anything at all, it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear.” George Washington: “If freedom of speech is taken away, then dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep to the slaughter.” Benjamin Franklin: “Whoever would overthrow the liberty of a nation must begin by subduing the freeness of speech.” And finally, Oscar Wilde’s well known cheeky irreverence: “I may not agree with you, but I will defend to the death your right to make an ass of yourself.” Navarro has made an ass of himself.
