Of course it does.
Hate speech is non-speech. And leftists are reading 1984? That’s exactly the doublespeak Orwell wrote about.
We don’t need the First Amendment for ‘safe’ ideas that don’t offend anyone. We need it for controversial ideas so that we can debate them and defeat them.
The left has lost their ability to engage in debate (because they have the losing argument) and have to resort to fascism to shut people up.
No, really, Howie, you’re a half-pint douche nozzle!
People like Dean are why we need the second amendment
So Dean is still stuck on stupid and has no desire to get unstuck.
Quick scoreboard. No borders. Women can be mutilated and oppressed. No God. No free speech. Legal drugs. What a party.
and of course the left will define what hate speech is for us. and that would be any speech that disagrees with the left of course.
dunno. if Hillary had been elected president, I don’t hesitate to think that we would have had Europe-like speech laws — or worse — just as soon as her SCOTUS appointment could have been seated to hear them.
I’m reading columns where I’m being threatened for what I believe and the columns think this is a good thing.
I’m reading columns talking about disenfranchising me because I question the liberal ethos.
I’m reading columns justifying violence against people like me.
I’m reading columns calling for litmus tests for running for student government on campus.
None of this bothers Howard Dean.
No - he’s talking about silencing speech he doesn’t like personally.
And he’s being applauded.
I don’t recall it containing an exception or a definition of who gave or gives said definition.
Dean has been unhinged since before he was governor. The policies he set in motion are and will destroy this state.
And so, Howard, who defines “hate speech”? You? The UN? Besides. I don’t recall that qualifier in the first amendment. These people on the left are such braying asses.
Everything a liberal says is hate speech. They should be banned from speaking!
Define “hate”, Mr. Dean.
Howard wants to live in the kind of world that would end up with people like him getting hanged.
It only protects people screaming “Raaaaaaarrrrrrr!” in a high voice.
If the first amendment prohibited “hate speech” no Democrat would EVER be allowed to open his or her (or its) mouth in public again.
Re Howard Dean. Just because you are/were a doctor doesn’t mean that you can’t be batshit crazy at the same time. Dean is living proof of this axiom.
I’m now awaiting for bats to complaint that I mentioned them in describing Weird Howard. I apologize to them, esp. the Fruit Bats who are harmless creatures.
If the First Amendment didn’t protect hate speech, then the left would have to shut up.
Hey, Howie...
If the 1st amendment doesn’t permit “hate” speech, then that means Sharpton, J. Jackson, BLM, antiFA, etc., would all be deprived of stirring up violence.
