Can you be for free speech and be for banning hate speech at the same time?

[sean miguel]

that's an obvious contradiction, right?

another poster commented that the neo-nazis and white supremacists feel emboldened and that they feel they have a green light to operate out in the open because of President Trump.

here's the thing - I want them to operate out in the open. I want everyone to see what they are all about. I want all this stuff aired out and in the open.


and someone brings up "fire!" in a theater in 3 ... 2... 1...

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to animus fox again.

Could not agree more.

Youre falling for this shit the doing right now.
You are eating the slop their chucking in your trough bro.

Where are all these Neo Nazis?
Where are they?
Where's the fucking KKK?
They are on TV along with all the other bad TV shows.

Most of these so called Neo Nazi leaders they are shoving in our faces are paid actors, and the other half are inbreds.

So don't worry about these boogeymen today AF.
Worry about real ones like ISIS and Russians and Super-Aids and Cavity Creeps.

White People and Black People get along just fine in the USA.
But the GOV and their media don't want that so they are resorting to late 1980's Morton Downey Jr tactics.

Yoootoob is shutting down channels like crazy the past month or two.
Now there is some threat to free speech you can worry about

I don't think hate speech should be banned, but that's not to say that it should be free from consequence. Some speech isn't protected; that which promotes violence, among others. But I am curious, if a person spouts off something hateful, what reaction should they expect? "Mmmm, yes, your abuse is protected speech, please continue.", or, "#!*@ you."

Agreed. Free speech goes both ways, and you're right, it's not free from consequence.

Agreed also. And it's the "free from consequence" part that gets in the way. So many "spewers" start yammering about their Rights while others are exercising their's to disagree.

I, of course, focus on the Conservatives who engage in this kind of hypocrisy but, there's enough from both/all sides.

The same way you can be for freek market and ban drugs.

It's the freedom of speech. Get up on your soap box and shout anything you want. That is your right. Us down here will shout whatever we want also. Sticks and stones are a different story.
