Former Vermont governor and Democratic National Comittee chairman Howard Dean called out conservative pundit Ann Coulter on Twitter. Dean said, "Hate speech is not protected by the first amendment."

[C19fan]

Under the smiley face of a liberal is a fascist.

[Lizavetta]

The First Amendment is most certainly to protect "hate" speech or any other unpopular speech. That's the whole point. Popular speech doesn't need a First Amendment.

Dumbass.

[Jaxter]

Hate Speech = Anything Howard Dean disagrees with.

[missnry]

Coulter has been in the news recently because a talk she was scheduled to give at University of California, Berkeley was canceled do to safety concerns.

Hmmmm - really? Do to safety concerns...

[wild74]

Straw man argument, what he considers hate speech is the truth, and he needs to point out what is she saying that is hate speech.

[DaveA37]

Well if anyone would know something about “hate speech”, it certainly would be a demodummie.

[rlmorel]

It is appalling, the total ignorance by someone who once ran for President.

C19Fan had it right. All you have to do to find a totalitarian is to scratch the surface of a liberal.

[chief lee runamok]

Why does this non entity think it is relevant?

[Vaquero]

Well he’s a Marxist not a liberal. Liberals are the useful idiots of the Marxists.

[nathanbedford]

Right you are.

Moreover, the most rigorous test applied to squelching speech is applied to preventing speech, especially political speech. Even if one assumes that years ago Ann Coulter uttered some speech that was legitimately liable to being censored, that makes no justification for pre-censorship today or tomorrow at Berkeley.

Mr. Dean. You do understand our Founding Fathers talked ill of the British. They actually used hate speech.

“Sorry, College Kids, There’s No Such Thing As ‘Hate Speech’”

(and those at the same level of intellectual immaturity)

[Bookshelf]

The Democrat bench: Dean, Warren, DiBlasio, Cuomos, Clintons, Pelosi, Schumer, Leahy, Feinstein, et. al. The greatest pack of political losers in the history of the Republic. Even worse than Ryan, Corker, Alexander, McCain, Flake, Cornyn, Graham, et. al.

[brucedickinson]

I really hate these people

[sauropod]

Sure is.

Howie Dean is off his rocker. Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagggggggggggggggghhhhh!

[Twinkie]

Howard Dean? Isn’t he the “screamer” who once ran for
President? - Libs want to outlaw ANY speech that isn’t
pro-abortion, or any speech with which they don’t agree.
:o(

[bray]

Only Democrat hate speech is allowed in their USSA.

[polymuser]

Howard Dean:
“I am relevant.”
“I AM relevant.!”
“I AM RELEVANT!”
“Gimme 15 more minutes!”

[hal ogen]

Yet another tiresome loser LIB idiot proving for all time that he is an idiot. What a fascist punk with only a lunatic ‘ s understanding of the First Amendment.

[zencycler]

Yes, and ironically Dean is also the one who said “I hate Republicans and everything they stand for”.
