CNN political analyst Kirsten Powers is hitting back at critics of her network's decision to warn an anonymous Reddit user he could be exposed if he resorted to "ugly behavior" on the internet again.
"People do not have a right to stay anonymous so they can spew their racist, misogynist, homophobic garbage," she argued in a series of tweets to her nearly 250,000 followers on Thursday.....

And why are all of their Trump/Russia stories based on anonymous sources quoting anonymous sources?
Great point.
Depends on what rights you are referring to. There is no absolute right to anonymity in public statements. Individuals do have a right to free speech. CNN knows, or should know, that outing the meme guy’s identity will bring down violence against him, his family, and property by Leftist goons. CNN is using that mechanism to violate his right to free speech unless he tows CNN’s party line. If CNN outs him, and others inspired by the chum CNN has amply spread on the waters, harm the person, then CNN is civilly and criminally liable for the results, for what that’s worth after he’s ben lynched.
On a personal level, if someone is sufficiently loathsome, and actually engages in online speech that promotes hatred and violence against others (child molesters, Nazis, terrorist jihadis, etc.), I might not care very much if CNN ruins them. All that is subjective. My question is really: Is CNN mischaracterizing the man’s past statements to demonize their opponent and fire up violent people to go after him? Given CNN’s habits, I suspect they are.
Sorry but Kirsten is not a skank. I might not agree with her politically but she is one physically attractive liberal.
And with regard to what that TimeWarnerCNN lame brain said:
What a highly dangerous thing to say. Will CNN soon tell us the anonymous ballot is illegal? That all whistleblowers will be exposed? That the search engines of the police state shall save all emails and all web searches?
Well, it's certain the almighty, omnipotent and infallible master minds in Gubment, Haaaaaarvard, MITeeeeeee, and CNN believe they know what's good for we Deplorable citizens.
Excuse me from quoting a Russian. It seems Dostoevsky knew about Obama, Hillary and the Deep State back in 1880 when he wrote The Brothers Karamazov. Here's his Grand Inquisitor talking to Jesus:
Oh, we shall persuade them at last not to be proud, for Thou didst lift them up and thereby taught them to be proud.
We shall show them that they are weak, that they are only pitiful children, but that childlike happiness is the sweetest of all.
They will become timid and will look to us and huddle close to us in fear, as chicks to the hen. They will marvel at us and will be awe-stricken before us, and will be proud at our being so powerful and clever that we have been able to subdue such a turbulent flock of thousands of millions.
They will tremble impotently before our wrath, their minds will grow fearful, they will be quick to shed tears like children, but they will be just as ready at a sign from us to pass to laughter and rejoicing, to happy mirth and childish song.
Yes, we shall set them to work, but in their leisure hours we shall make their life like a child's game, with children's songs and innocent dance. Oh, we shall allow them even sin, they are weak and helpless, and they will love us like children because we allow them to sin.
We shall tell them that every sin will be expiated, if it is done with our permission, that we allow them to sin because we love them, and the punishment for these sins we take upon ourselves.
And they will have no secrets from us. We shall allow or forbid them to live with their wives and mistresses, to have or not to have children according to whether they have been obedient or disobedient -- and they will submit to us gladly and cheerfully."
Check your privilege.
CNN is not the arbiter of free speech and deciding who gets punished and who gets protected.
By all means, let’s just step back and make some popcorn while we wait for 4chaners or even better “Anonymous” to take a sporting interest in this debacle.
4chan, Reddit and 8chan are already on it. Haven’t heard anything about Anonymous yet.
Sorry, I need to remind you this skank "dated" Anthony Weiner for several months. So not only is she a "Skank" - she's as dumb as a box of rocks as well.
Oh really? How was it right that a black foreigner managed to remain anonymous and still be elected as POTUS? All we knew of him was his looks and lack of ability at sports. Even his looks were questionable and never passed examination
Ummmm, I thought some CNN sluts just went nuts because their “anonymity” was broken....
