Nobody said that haters should be deprived of their free speech.
I never advocated curtailing hate by abridging Freedom of speech.
Stop putting words in my mouth.
You couldn't possibly have misread my statement more incorrectly.
The premise that I advocate infringing on Free Speech for anyone is an outright lie, and my comment suggested no such thing.
I simply said that there's no room for hate—and it's not a Leftist boogeyman—it's on display every day, in communities all over the country, and all over the internet.
Your false framing of my words is such an egregious and intellectually dishonest thing to do, that there's probably no point in continuing this discussion. If you're going to distort what I've posted so grossly—and make an absurd assertion without bothering to back it up—then I question what your agenda is.
And, of course, like anyone who just wants to throw smears around, you question my "Americanism"?
I've been around this community even longer than you, and for you to toss around such asinine rhetoric is just shameful.
You want to disagree with me? Fine. But don't levy patently false accusations and then question my patriotism on top of that.
The Supreme Court ruled, correctly, that even people who some call political garbage enjoy the same constitutional rights that you do.
I never argued otherwise, and I challenge you to provide the evidence that I have ever even suggested such a thing in response to anybody in this community in almost 20 years of posting.
There's lies, and there damn lies, and that's a damn lie.
So you might want to go back and review what I really said, and respond to that, instead of making invalid and absurd inferences, which you then attempt to present as me advocating for infringement on Free Speech. I'm a libertarian, Citizen, and would literally be the last person on earth to adopt a stance so antithetical to Constitutional principles.
To reiterate: I've never in any way, shape, or form supported infringing on the First Amendment rights of anyone—even haters. Your assertion that I suggested any such thing is false. And, additionally, shame on you for attacking my patriotism or Americanism.
Having said that, I also reiterate my opinion that White Supremacists, BLM, Antifa, the KKK, and their hateful ilk are "political garbage"—even though they are free to spew their hatred via their Unalienable Right to Free Speech under the First Amendment...
Road apples. Everything I accused you of, you did.
