Oh, I just remembered....free speech.
Well, our side still holds it in high regard. It’s getting so damn awkward.
The pure fact that a law preventing “hate speech” exists at all, is a crime itself against the Constitution.
The Constitution and the First Amendment don’t qualify speech, it just says that no law will be made to stifle it.
Therefore, free speech, is free speech.
I’d like to see the FBI, or anyone else, enter a Trump rally and try to shut the people up who are chanting, “lock her up”...all Trump would have to do is say, “sic’em boys” and then, “Look ma...where did those FBI guys get off too?”.
No,they should shut down Amanpour instead.
“Hate speech,” AKA political speech, is the exact speech the First Amendment was intended to protect.
Jussie Smollett and two Nigerian brothers who colluded with him committed the biggest hate crime of the year. Smollett lied and falsely told police that two masked men shouted racial and homophobic slurs at him, beat him, wrapped a rope around his neck and poured bleach on him.
Police say he paid two Nigerian brothers $3,500 to stage the attack, which they did willingly and hatefully – and told them to say “MAGA,” for “Make America Great Again,” the slogan popularized by President Donald Trump.
He used the symbolism of a noose to make false accusations that would hurt all white people’s character, and all Trump supporters character.
Laws against “Hate Speech” are the inevitable result of hate crimes legislation. It’s that old camel’s nose under the tent thing.
It drives me up the wall when I read FR posters going on about what is or isn’t an actual hate crime as if that concept had any legitimacy in a free society. We have to stop letting the Progressive Left define the terms of every argument.
The FBI should be shut down.
It is now a threat to the citizens.
BTTT!
Just HOW the Hell does this woman propose the FBI shut up a crowd of, say, 15 thousand people chanting “lock her up”?
Move in with APC’s?
Considering skin color, gender, religion, etc are the major components to determine your place within IDENTITY POLITICS ... which is racist by definition.
the FBI should shutdown the democrat party for being a hate filled racist organization
Hate speech. Hate crimes. Making some words okay for some demographics to use but punishable when others use them. Criminalizing the use of other than the pronouns that others demand be applied to them.
All part of a clear march to stop speech in, of all places, the political arena.
Rap is hate speech and must be shut down. No NAACP official can ever say anything because they say nothing absent hate.
“and lock up people who have the temerity to engage in it.”
That will never happen. You’d first need to convince wimpy weenies to crawl out of mommy’s basement and engage in martial training. You’d also need to convince 50-IQ bureaucrats to spit out the jelly doughnut from their craven jellyfish mouths and engage in combat patrols.
Not gonna happen. Don’t believe me?
Take a walk thru any federal bureaucrat office and observe the fat, squishy mopes stuffing their moribund faces with potato chips and two-liter bottles of pop. It’s an army of overfed, low-IQ, entitled brats living on government check welfare.
