Bill Maher urges Americans to unconditionally support free speech, avoid becoming like Britain

On Friday's episode of "Real Time," Host Bill Maher urged Americans to unconditionally support free speech to avoid becoming like Britain which has increased its crackdown on speech violations in recent years.

Rather astounding when we hear more wisdom from a douche like Maher than half of our elected representatives

Corrupt RINOs but we have no choice but to vote for them.

There is no such thing. Anyone even using the term seriously(as in accusing someone of it) should be beaten, disenfranchised, and deported.

The Governor of Utah’s remarks at the press conference were excellent.

I’ve seen some very hateful speech from leftists in the last couple of days, which has been soundly condemned by many, if not most.

To unconditionally support free speech, we have to purge all the ones who would use violence to suppress it, every Antifa, every person who rioted at a university campus to prevent speakers they don’t like, they must be rooted out of society.

President Trump is going to have to go after the Left just like we did with the Mafia decades ago.

We have RICO charges, maybe it's time to use them so we can arrest the ringleaders.

Hate speech is defined as anything leftist politicians say it is. Or, at least that is the way it works in PRC (Politically Repressive Canaduh).

I remember a video that included Maher and Jordan Peterson.
Maher came across a very strong supporter of free speech and was supportive of Professor Peterson.

Bill Maher has been and continues to be on the WRONG SIDE OF EVERTHING. IOWs STFU Bill, I do not care what you have to say, Kirk Hater.

Incitement to violence is not protected speech and there must be legal consequences for it.

Have you seen any of his videos floating around now where he’s getting all choked up because trans people are treated badly? How they deserve respect and acceptance because they’re the same as everyone else?

At the presser this week he was blowing sunshine up our asses. He’s good at reading the room so said what had to be said at that moment in time.

Yes, specially ‘hate speech’.

We must defend the right of speech that offends us. Other wise anyone can claim to be offended by what you say.
