    No, you should just call your Antifa buddies to beat up whoever hurts your feelings.

    However, when trump told a fanatical crowd to attack protesters, he was inciting a riot.

    He should have been arrested on the spot.

    When a celebrity tries to criticize traitor Bush or Trump he/she gets attacked with life threats. Remember the Dixie Chicks? Kathy Griffin?

    Far worse things were said about the patriotic President Obama but the traitors who did so were not troubled by their stupidity at all.

    Yeah, but Frank Murphy said this in 1945, many decades later under Roosevelt.

    One thing that is readily apparent is how right wingers are always so filled with hate. They are easily defeated in every debate we have on this forum and when it happens they respond with hate, personal attacks, innuendo, projections, and libelous lies. Their hate speeches should be banned as it would lead to more intelligent exchanges ideas on this forum.

    Of course not. So you think that I'm in support of that statement? Then why did you like my post?

    That's what happens when you attack people, they fight back.

    Maybe they should have stayed home? It was probably the most exercise they got all year though.

    Remember the Murrah building?
    Bush's pretensions about WMD and his wars that killed tens of thousands?
    Republican denial of health care coverage that killed 45,000 Americans every year?

    Ever hear of the First Amendment? As long as you don't try to incite others to violence, you can be as hateful as you want. BTW, disagreeing with someone is not hate speech, as much as the Left wishes it were so. The only time they support free speech is when you agree with them. Everything else is hate speech.

    Only when it calls for violence, and does so in clear, unambiguous terms.

    'Kill the NRA'- may refer to quashing the organization. Protected.

    'Kill Trump'- clear, unambiguous call for murder. Not protected.

    I suggest you do some homework re McCarthyism, the censorship imposed by Fox, and censorship on right wing Christian professing schools. Nobody engages in Nazi style censorship more than does the deluded, America hating far right.

    If "hate speech" is illegal, then all speech will be illegal. Everything is "hate speech" to someone.
