lede & term as generic versus specific historical

edit

I rewrote the lede (diff) -- the "free speech fights" phrase specifically refers to the IWW conflicts in early 20th century in the US, and I'm not really aware of common usage of it to describe free speech conflicts more generically. However, I kept in the explanation about generic usage in case the question arises. I think it reads better and contextualizes the term more accurately. --Lquilter (talk) 17:39, 6 January 2008 (UTC)Reply

"The IWW won all of these free speech fights"

Wrong!! this is obviously a POV article. In fact the one in San Diego was such terrible beating for these people that the free speech fight ended nationally right there. Never again would the Wobblies crowd dare take up the free speech fight after that one. Please be a little more responsible when making articles here —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.114.16.211 (talk) 00:38, 13 February 2011 (UTC)Reply
