Remember Howard Dean? He was once the head of the Democratic Party as Chairman of the Democratic National Committee, and Governor of the State of Vermont. He was considered a viable contender for the Democrats’ nomination for president in 2004 until he uttered the scream that will live on forever:

[rktman]

YEEEEAWWW! Yeah, he's relevant. LOL!

[jalisco555]

And this is why we must never again elect a Democrat to the White House.

[Red Badger]

What kind of doctor was he? A proctologist?....................

[rktman]

Hopin’ and prayin’. Oh, and votin’.

He favored self exams.

Hilarious. But said by Dean in earnest.

Who decides in advance, speech that is hate?

Hate speech: Any viewpoint not embraced by the Democrat National Committee.

I wonder if liberal heads would implode if Ann Coulter started adding ‘Allah commands’ before her salient points. So long as those two words are uttered, liberals seem to have no problem with any viewpoint that follows, up to and including chucking gays off the top of buildings or executing women in sports stadiums for being raped.

Democrats only speak truths, and they speak the only truths. Any opposition to their truths MUST be silenced. If opposition can’t be silenced, then it must be destroyed.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

Dean is one of the few liberals I respect. His 2004 presidential run was really the first high-tech run that utilized social media and the Internet. He’s not the extreme, corrupt, globalist leftist that most Democrats are now.

[RayChuang88]

The First Amendment was designed to specifically protect political speech you don't agree with. No wonder why people think Dean is often one French Fry short of a Happy Meal at times....

[JimRed]

TRUTH: It’s the new HATE SPEECH.

[mom.mom]

If he deems it hate speech, then violence is justified?

[jalisco555]

I have no doubt that Hillary Clinton would have appointed judges at all levels who would rule that the First Amendment doesn’t protect hate speech, and we all know how that would have been defined. Talk about dodging a bullet.

[Titus-Maximus]

Dems are growing more totalitarian in nature. It is like they are reverting to the Soviet Union. They fear ideas. They fear debate. Obama makes time for political rabble rousers, scoundrels who provide goons to beat people and engage in voter fraud. And protected by a compliant DNC press, just like Pravda. They are the creators of political correctness, they supply the violent brownshits to stifle free speech. They have created identity politics to set groups upon one another.

The hell with them.

[stinkerpot65]

Every liberal is a violent totalitarian thug.

"Dean is one of the few liberals I respect. His 2004 presidential run was really the first high-tech run that utilized social media and the Internet. He’s not the extreme, corrupt, globalist leftist that most Democrats are now."

You've got to be kidding! He's Nancy Pelosi and Maxine Waters with only a penis being the difference !!

[DoodleDawg]

Assuming, for the sake of argument, that her remarks are, in fact, “hate speech” then they’re still protected under the First Amendment.

[Renegade]

Fk u Howard!

[clamper1797]

And this is why we must never again elect a Democrat to the White House.

NEVER EVER
