“It is only a matter of time before they make a serious effort to shut down speech in public places that is critical of their leaders, and lock up people who have the temerity to engage in it.”

See my tag line.

Maybe the FBI should just be ‘shut down’, and replaced.

To a Leftist, “Hate speech” = “Speech that I hate”. The First Amendment must be garlic to their inner vampire.

“Hate Speech” is liberish for “Reason” or “Logic.”

By what parameters do we define hate speech? What constitutes hate speech? Lock her up? Make America Great Again? Build the Wall? Let’s go Mets? Who determines what can and cannot be uttered?

Eliminate hate speech laws. And fast or there will be no free speech.

Yet we have Hate Crime Laws on the Books and nobody from the two mainstream Political Parties seems to mind.

In fact, they banded together to pass Hate Crime Legislation.

Hate is a Motive, it isn’t a Crime. All those Lawyers in Congress and they haven’t a clue about our Constitution.

Outlawing s called Hate Speech is just the next rung on the Ladder of Fascism.

I'm all for it. At some point, Democrats will cross a line in their attempted destruction of the Constitution, and we will have the chance for a Final Solution to the Communist Problem.

It won't be racist, white privilege, it will be Freedom vs Tyranny, and I've got the winner picked. I calculate 23,000,000 bodies, but I'm conservative.

“The life of the elite is a long Sunday: they live in beautiful houses, they wear elegant clothes, they speak a language of their own; whereas the people lie at their feet like manure on the fields.”

As true today as when Georg Buchner wrote this in 1834.

You seem to be confused, that is not hate you hear directed to President Trump, rather it is concerned criticism of their beloved president you are witnessing.

Shut down hate speech? Great idea, I mean who could be for spreading hate? The devil is in the details. Who gets to determine what qualifies as hate speech?

If the FBI had shut down “hate speech” in 2016 then DJT would have gotten 60% of the popular vote and 400 electoral votes.

I can’t stand that hag, that sickening accent of hers is like listening to fingernails on a blackboard.

Now she’s showing off her stupidity. Must be catching at the DNC fan club she works for.

This dolt must know before hate speech can be regulated, it must first be defined, then legislated within the limits of the Constitution so there is a law the FBI can work off of. They just can’t go out and Gestapo everyone based on DNC demands. (but it’s coming)

It should be unconstitutional to even think that way, much less say it.

That is sacrilegious and hate speech. She should be shut down and imprisoned for even suggesting such un-American nonsense. Something like that should be on the same level as uttering the N-word, except that, her suggestion is a million times more damaging to the country.
