    Maybe the Christians included were out of discourse, but there's no denying the Israelites were very Nazi like. Destroying nations.
    God even destroyed all things in the world in the noah flood.

    The right to speak freely ... or the right to speak on a college campus?

    Just the opposite. I'm upset with Trump, for his signaling out this man, as being robbed of his Freedom of Speech. How presidential is that?

    I am taking a position that my fellow Christians are misguided with their selection of a president that espouses this individual. A president who used this viral message in his campaign to create a college cult following. A president who selects a campaign manager who was this individual's boss, and in-tune with his message, promoting it in a dark, dismal campaign strategy. A president and campaign manager who espouse hate, bigotry and fascism.

    Hell no they aren't equal. The "Hate Speech =/= Free Speech" signs had the intent to shut down the public discourse and trample on the 1st Amendment. Whereas the intent of the "Hate Speech = Free Speech" signs is to mock their counterparts while asserting that the Constitution does NOT make a "hate speech" exemption to the 1st Amendment. As far as hate is concerned, I would look to the people breaking windows, attacking people, and burning things (people much more likely to be holding the Not Free Speech signs).

    Sorry, at least in these forums, politics trump religion. But it does show who really believes in the message of christianity over the business of politics and defeating their own American citizens, the left.

    No there is not an exemption to the 1st Amendment, but Hate Speech is not allowed in many cases, and it is often illegal, as I've mentioned. I'll re-post my example:

    I brought up this analogy before. If a black man stands in the middle of New York City, and starts yelling "Death to the Honkies". Getting in the face of passers-by and yelling "Kill the whites", he should be stopped. This is considered hate speech, and the police would arrest him for one of two charges - 1. Incitement of a Riot. 2. Disturbing the Peace.

    "Defeating their own American citizens" - wouldn't be guilty of putting words in somebody's mouth, would you?

    I'm surprised you bothered to comment on this thread. Or perhaps the Milo hate message is close to home for you?

    LOL. Dodge master.
    How did you answer my questions? Oh, you didn't.

    I bothered because you sound like you don't like anything that isn't in the box you've decided the world should live in. You're in the same category as radical islam.
    Which is why I asked you a bunch of questions, you didn't bother to answer.

    Richard Spencer, at CPAC, says "I can't defend Milo at this point."

    That time when even the neo nazi's won't defend the NAMBLA enabler.

    Trump and his supporters are neo nazi's to you?

    They never really backed him anyways. They like his hate type rhetoric because it went against their enemy, the center and left of America. But in reality, most probably couldn't stand to be in the same room with a gay pedophile lover. But as I've said in this thread already, Christians in these forums put politics over religion.

    Richard Spencer is an avowed neo-nazi.

    He has a following of avowed Trump supporters, so yes, some are. Without any doubt.

    When the President of the US takes time out to defend Milo's thwarted speaking engagement across the continent, I would say that he definitely backs him. You may be right about some of the Christians on this forum. I do not. Christ is central to my life.

    Well, Milo was doing neither of those things, so he doesn't fall under "hate speech" by that reasonable definition.

    Milo is so much like his old employer - Breitbart. For example, Breitbart has a huge Jew-hating audience. When an anti-Semitic journalistic piece is published by Breitbart, the Jew haters come out in droves, with hateful On-Line responses. Likewise, when Milo speaks about Pedophilia or White Supremacy, he feeds the hate groups.
