Here is video of Arianna Huffington telling Keith Olbermann that Glenn Beck should be exempted from free speech.

Huffington said about Glenn Beck, "there is a good reason why we have an exemption to the free speech protected by the first amendment, when we say that you can't shout fire in a crowded theater, and he's doing that every night, he's basically using images of violence every night."

Huffington said Glenn Beck and Fox News are "morally liable" if "any violence ensues from what he says." Read more...

There’s nothing wrong with shouting “Fire!” in a theater if there IS a fire in the theater. In that case you would be a hero to do so.

"...he's basically using images of violence every night.""

He has put up pictures of Mao on a regular basis. Mao was extremely violent and butchered millions. Is that what she's talking about?!/s

She's referring to Ron Bloom maybe?

Here's another Sweetie.

Since when is exposing the truth an act of shouting fire in a crowded building? There's a fire all right, but it is the color of Red attempting to overthrow our nation and everything it has stood for for over 230 years. Put that in your looney pipe and smoke it.

Typical socialist/democrat/communist/liberal total projection (accusing your opponents of your own exact crimes) by two of the most evil, lawless despicable sub-humans befouling American political speech.

Why do communists love to call America home? Never mind; we know their arrogant, self-serving hypocrisy makes it possible. . .and profitable.

Naw, he wasn't really gay until she drove him to it.

This gal is a prize winning Moonbat.

Notice her reference to "shouting fire" ~ that only applies if there is no fire. When there is a fire the guys who fail to tell us and let us burn to death should be hanged.

Maybe Glenn needs another 'hot phone'; one where self-rightious Libs can call in and challenge the truth spoken by Glenn. Like the WH 'hot line'/red phone. . .bet that phone would never ring either. Their talk is cheap; they are even cheaper.

Sue him, Arianna. . .oh that we should suggest your mouth deserves to be taped shut.

Huffing is essentially saying that those of us that agree with or support Beck should ALSO be exempted from free speech.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but wouldn’t this type of rhetoric be classified as ‘hate speech’? Except that we all know how leftists think that only they should have freedom of speech. Anyone else should be silenced.

“Huffington said Glenn Beck and Fox News are “morally liable””

Yeah. He’s liable to tell the truth about Barack, Dingy Harry, Nazi Pelosi and the Death Care Bill.

That must be scary to HufyPuffy, Keith Olderman and the rest of you Demonrats.
