"A libertarian interpretation of the First Amendment is responsible for more violent hate crime in the United States than terrorism, a former Federal Election Commission chair claimed Thursday.
The libertarian interpretation of the 1st Amendment has permitted a huge spike in violent hate crimes in the US many more than foreign attacks, former FEC Chair Ann Ravel wrote on Twitter. el linked to a story noting a statistic from the left-leaning Anti-Defamation League, which found that 78% of the 50 U.S. murders related to extremism in 2018 were carried out by white supremacists. The story also noted the FBI has approximately 5,000 open terrorism investigations around the world, of which 850 are in the U.S. (RELATED: Democrat Who Sought To Regulate Drudge Running To Represent Silicon Valley In California Senate)
Ravel, who is running as a Democrat for a seat in the California Senate, did not say how she would modify free-speech rights to address the issue, though her record provides some indication. During her 2013-17 tenure as a commissioner on the FEC, Ravel sought to limit the kind of political content users could place on websites such as Facebook, Twitter and YouTube.

Yep, idiocy does not come cheap.
I’ll take the 1st Amendment and any related “hate crimes” over every single politically correct, Woke sack of shit on the far Left any day of any week in any month in any year of any decade I’m permitted to live on God’s earth.
Calypso Louie has certainly inspired a number of black on white murders...
Yep.
Scratch the surface of a Leftist, find a authoritarian underneath.
Hate crimes are certainly on the rise. I think that is a trend that will continue unabated as long as MSNBC, CNN, NYT and WP and Associates get to define what constitutes a dreaded HATE CRIME.
I have noticed that Democrats and Left Leaamers never seem to commit crimes of this type. OTOH, Consevative types seem to addicted to the practice.
Of course this observation is based on my observation of the conduct of Facebook and the other Social Media who appear to employ huge staffs who job it to squelch tha Right Wing Hate Speech. As they improve their efficiency you can expect sharp increases in the deletion of posts and the terminations of accounts.
My worry: will they come after us here at Good Old Free Republic?
Reminds me of the international antiblasphemy laws Hillary was pushing to please Zapatero, that Malaysian leader she was always sucking up to, the Muslim Bro, Erdogan and Iran, etc.
This is me.
This is me flipping Ravel off and saying FU!
And need I point out to her and her communist ilk again that COMMUNISM and SOCIALISM is responsible for far more deaths than free speech.
The demonratcommiescumbags left has gone completely BONKERS!!!
Thank Your Marine for His Service please. Prayers for the safety of Our Military wherever they are Stationed.

How to distort with statistics.
This stupid bitch doesn’t want to count how many POTENTIAL/PLANNED attacks by Moslem extremists in the US have been prevented by great law enforcement efforts.
Ad that in and they bury the white extremist crimes by a mile.
A Democrat. What is she running for, the leading role in an updated version of “Dumb and Dumber”?
You got that right!
Bullshit there were thousands of bombings in the 1970s from the far left a number of whom are in government academia today
ever notice how the media uses Karl Marx’s definition of capitalism?
What does the feckless FEC know about civil rights laws and hate crimes?
What did the FECyouC ever say about the black panthers with nightsticks threatening voters on election day 2008??
Defending “our freedoms” ... where?
If it isn’t in the continental US I’m a little skeptical on that. Not denigrating his service, don’t get me wrong, and I’m not making some Ivory Tower pronouncement here, I got deployed to the Balkans, when I got home there were all kinds of “Refugees” here. It’s just a big load of horseshit as far as I’m concerned. Must be a Pony in there somewhere.
One can get so cynical that one couldn’t be told from the occupants of a dog pound.
Warding off enemies before they get here averts having to put the country on a full wartime footing, with its busybodiness aplenty.

Ravel was an Obama appointee, naturally.
“My worry: will they come after us here at Good Old Free Republic?”
Will not every happen as Free Republic totally belongs to Jim Rob and we that support Free Republic. Jim Rob could be a very rich man if wanted to make it a commercial site with adverts. He wisely does not do this.
When you think about what Jim Rob has given us here at Free Republic, kick in a few bucks to our great site in support.
