Does this phony think chanting killing cops is hate speech?

He is playing to constituents who have no idea what the constitution says or why it says it. He knows that and the whole left is trying to make it true for more and more people via public school, colleges and the media which is the biggest educator in society today.

And Howard Dean is inciting riot and he knows it. These snowflakes believe it is acceptable to engage in violence to stop “hate speech”....which are just ideas they don’t agree with. The “hate” is in the eye of the beholder. I would argue the violence is the true exercise of hate, the irony seems lost on them.

—Hate Speech = Anything Howard Dean disagrees with.—


they would amend the 1st to include...

“we don’t think we’ll like what you’re going to say so you just can’t say it”.

In that case, neither is yours, Howie. See how that works? It’s why we allow idiots like you to talk.

I am not sure that I really care whether it stays cold or not. I would prefer that if it is go “hot”, it happens now. I would rather fight the good fight that have my daughter have to do it later.
Just a thought.

Who is in charge of determining hate speech? I seem to have forgotten.
