Brilliant speech. I’m glad there are at least a few voices left in Europe that speak such truths. Tragic that he is being prosecuted for speech. Tragic that we’ve allowed the proliferation of “hate” crimes here in the U.S., because criminalization of speech is only a short step away. We already are well down that path with private enterprises and the media ganging up to make sure anyone who even remotely utters unapproved words and phrases loses his/her livelihood.

Political Correctness is the death knell of freedom.
It is insidious rot from within.

Why would any society ( ours included ) want someone to tell them what to say or not say? And make it a crime even !

Anyone notice if John King and CNN are continuing to tone it down and muzzle themselves?
