This man was the governor of a state, a leading presidential candidate, and Chairman of the Democratic National Committee, and he evidently (and wrongly) believes that the Constitution doesn't protect "hate speech" -- a term of art that is by its very nature subjective. In fact, the Constitution protects nearly all speech, with extremely limited exceptions.
In response to the disgraceful flare-up over Ann Coulter's scheduled appearance at Berkeley, a New York Times writer dug up and highlighted one of her more inflammatory jokes, the proper response to which is: Okay, so what? I don't find it especially funny at all, and I fully understand why someone at the Times would take offense, but it's quite clearly protected speech. But not according to Angry McDeanScream...

Then he should shut up.
This is the goal of modern leftists Declare all speech that disagrees with them hate speech and ban it. That way they can rule, with no dissent permitted.
How long before we have political prisoners convicted of thought crimes in the us? Not long, if people like Howard dean get their way
Sure it does,Howard,it even protects dumb speech,like yours.
.
Actually it does.
You just can’t incite
Inside every liberal is a small fascist waiting to get out.
When he was an undergrad at Yale, he believed the First Amendment did not apply to anyone who disagreed with His Pompousness.

If these fools obtain power and manage to appoint like minded judges, speech and thought will be controlled.
“Howard Dean”?? Are we serious?
Said the angry idiot.
BTW, the 1st Amendment does indeed protect the speech the Democrat Thug Party tries to prohibit.
Even Moron-Speech of Howard Dean is protected....
Yep. Where are us consitituionals? i say we are the ones with all talk & no walk. Time to enter the streets, the CONgresscritters &make their lives miserable for not adopting OUR conservative agenda.
Sadly, Howard Dean knows the truth of the matter. He knows that he is spreading disinformation, but, he thinks, because I am doing so in the cause of progressivism, any knowing untruths I speak are moral and good.
In his heart of hearts when he has doubts, he will never acknowledge them to anyone, including himself, because that would negate his entire life and legacy. He will comfort himself that he has done and said everything for the good of “humanity,” even though it has benefited himself enormously.
Dean is not stupid, only self-absorbed and delusional.
PROGRESSIVE = REPRESSIVE
my question is who determines what is hate speech and what is not. I no that I have some ideas on what is hate speech that democrats would not agree with. the thing abot ideas and free speech eventually the better idea will win out and that is what people like Howard dean are scared of because they no how much of what they spew out is utter crap.
Los Angeles Times protected Barack Obama’s Islamic terrorists buddies, mentioning they had seen a video tape of him toasting them at a dinner but didn’t feel right releasing it since it was a private affair.
