Howard Dean:"Free Speech is good. Respecting Others Is better"
Jihadwatch.org ^ | December 7, 2015 | Robert Spencer

Posted on 12/07/2015 12:56:58 PM PST by Biggirl

Fewer and fewer people seem to understand the significance and importance of the freedom of speech these days: the avalanche of criticism that was heaped upon my colleague Pamela Geller for our event in defense of the freedom of speech in Garland, Texas last May demonstrated that.

Okay, Dean, but you got the order reversed.
It should be “Respecting Others is good. Free Speech Is better”

Respecting others is desirable. Truth is essential, which is why the freedom of speech is essential.

Free speech is a right.

Respecting others is a courtesy.

Those that want respect, give respect.

"This country has been sold down the river by the right-wing for their own purposes. This is a Republican party that has decided they like power so much that they think it's okay to win by taking away the right to vote. They are not American. They could be more comfortable in the Ukraine or Russia but stay away from our country. This is based on the right to vote." -- Howard Dean

Cool!

When are democrats going to start respecting others?

They claim to love diversity but want to lock up people who may disagree with them and do things they object to?

Things like not believe in man-made climate change, quote the US Constitution, expect the president, congress and government bureaucrats to obey the laws, and wonder out loud why Obama hides all his ID documents.

It is the AMERICAN way to respect free speech, but it is not ok when the Muslims are in OUR COUNTRY trying to make America the cesspool of where they came from....

There is only one reason why they are here, and it has nothing to do with speech, unless it is the Muslims trying to take away OUR Constitution and Bill of Rights...

We have no problems with the Jewish people, or the Black Community, or the Hispanic community, it's the MUSLIMS we have a problem with...

obuma has gotten the BLM group out there yelling and screaming to cover his butt, and that's the only reason they are there...we settled this with Martin Luther King, when we were all one in this Country, but obuma with his Muslims have stirred it all up again...get rid of obuma and his executive orders and we would be back to where we were, living together again...

Howard Dean:"Free Speech is good. Respecting Others Is better"

Does that mean Howie Dean is going to quit saying mean things about conservatives? Because he has really hurt my tender feelings.

Forced respect isn’t respect, it’s coercion.

“Common sense” speech control.

Pinkos have no problem with it.

Since when does the Left “respect others” with their speech? They mock, often profanely, through every form of public media those that they disagree with and feel superior to.

Dean is a senior leader in a Party, ideology and movement very much rooted in deeply personalized confrontation, demonization and attack politics.

The only problem he has here is that his own tactics are now being used against him.

Liberals claim that they only want to curtail the right to bear arms, but they don’t respect any of our other Constitutional rights either.

Howard Dean:"Free Speech is good. Respecting Others Is better"

Does this remind anyone else of Orwell's "Four legs good, two legs baaaaad." ?

Inside every liberal is a despot dying to get out.

Also, the irony of a commie like Dean lecturing on “respect” is to bizarre for sure.
