When Powers argued that speech should be protected because by itself it is never dangerous, Kohn countered by saying Powers failed to recognize her white privilege. Speech that seems harmless to middle or upper-class whites, she said, could be deeply threatening to poor and non-white communities. If somebody claims to feel certain speech is unsafe, Kohn said, they should be believed.
"Feelings are valid," she said, according to Stroup. "I'm never going to argue with people's feelings." Kohn also said it's a good thing if conservatives feel unable to express their views for fear of encountering hostility from their peers or professors.

As Bugs would put it....."what a maroon".
And when was the last time we had to shoot a blow hard? How about the eleventh of never?
Often the intimidation is completely, completely imaginary, a con game.
Send her her fiends in Gaza!
Just being consistent should be quite enough.
A feeling can be a valid witness to a reality; however it cannot stand by its lonesome as a measure. We must see a greater story that makes sense.
The “gay story” makes no sense. Its feelings are pulled out of a Pandora’s box of illusions.
That’s why Trump called CNN losers today.
If they didn’t push liberalism 24/7, no one would watch them.
They’re all in the ratings basement.
That's all I need to know about this imbecile, and the war we find ourselves in.
“I’m never going to argue with people’s feelings.”
I FEEL Sally is a moronic liberal fascist
Because you feel it is invalid... be very careful about accepting the premise you think you rejected.
The proper answer here is to outline the role that feelings have in the scheme of things. Not just to argue baldly that “oh my feelings matter but yours don’t.”
Wait until we apply the same line of thinking to them.
Payback is going to be a bitch.
I feel glad she feels that way. I feel unsafe when evil, power-hungry totalitarians like Hillary feel like taking over the world, starting with my country, which used to feel like the beacon of hope to the world.
Any speech in favor of socialism or totalitarianism in general or of Hillary in particular makes me feel unsafe. With Sally Kohn, head of the Political Correctness Gestapo, on my side, I feel safer and more secure with that warm feeling that my fear of Hillary will be believed, and Kohn and the rest of the totalitarian minions will never feel like arguing. I feel particularly happy that Gestapo thugs like her will now be unable to express their views for fear of encountering feelings of hostility from their productive and patriotic victims.
I also feel sad. I feel like this standard is, as always, a double standard. I feel like it's an excuse to club us into submission, and I feel like physical force is the next step if I do not feel like obeying under the pressure of what they pretend is ethical.
I FEEL she has pulled you down to her level (duck’n & runn’n!)
I’m one of those who believes God helps those who help themselves-I’m not one to sit around crying for Him to help me-we have been given a brain and a conscience for a reason-I get into gear, ask the Lord’s help to do it right and get to the task at hand-and I never, ever forget to say thank you prayers or a rosary for the help and guidance...
And thence is your fallacy.
We are not authorized to “help ourselves” in an infinity of ways that we can choose.
A rosary (in which I do not believe anyhow) does not make the wrong right.
Does CNN management every look at what their people are saying and hold a meeting to say, we need to be a little more objective? Nope, they aren’t called the Clinton News Network by everyone for nothing.
They will be materially punished.
In fact there is no method, only the once-for-all commitment to the Lord, that will even get you the guidance. You may be trusting in your pride after all. Oh look at me and my holy habits that help me. Well it isn’t that in which I trust; I trust in His promise. And His promise plays out over time, sometimes bringing about prayers and sometimes helping me quite without them when I have been quite blind (the Holy Spirit prays for us with groanings too deep for words).
And, CNN was willing to provide a datacom line to set loose his sleepers.
Who the hell is Sally Kohn, and why should anyone give a rats arse what she says?
Then let us respectfully agree to disagree-I respect your opinion and your right to express it-but as a Catholic, praying my rosary is a part of my faith-and I don’t think I’m one of the lilies of the field that neither toil nor spin-faith is very important and personal to me-I have never doubted God in my life, no will I.
I thought it was a concise and dispassionate statement by me.
