Why Conservatives Hate Free Speech

[Hafar1014]

You should hide in your nursing home. Your Mexican nursing home staff aren't trying to kill you. Really!

Lets see if you can write a coherent response that refutes my factual post.

Why is the world's second richest foreign man trying to stir up violence? He needs to be deported, yes?

The conservative movement has spent the days following the shocking murder of right-wing activist Charlie Kirk attacking a bedrock American value: free speech.

In the most high-profile incident, the Federal Communications Commission pressured ABC parent The Walt Disney Company to sideline talk show host Jimmy Kimmel after he made a joke mocking President Donald Trump’s response to Kirk’s death. This followed CBS canceling “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” shortly after the network paid a $16 million settlement to President Donald Trump over how “60 Minutes” edited an interview with Kamala Harris.

Vice President JD Vance and senior White House aide Stephen Miller have argued that a crackdown on left-of-center groups is necessary to stop people from telling the truth about what a bigot and conspiracy theorist Kirk was.

To give cover to their war on speech, conservatives have declared nearly everything they oppose politically as “woke,” and then pushed for the removal of “woke” things— including speech and diversity—from public and private institutions and individuals.

Conservatism has a serious problem when it comes to competing in an open war of ideas. Many conservative priorities, like racism and economic policies bent around the desires of the ultra-wealthy, are not popular with the public at large. To allow an open exchange of ideas is to allow for the chance that liberalism and the Democratic Party might succeed.

Good article, but the author could have just said they are all scared little snowflakes, and saved bandwidth.

Christianists are the worst.

Come now.

If you were actually being serious, I'd be inclined to answer the question.

LOL


From your link.......Miller said this.


“So let me explain a bit of what that means," Miller said. “The organized doxxing campaigns, the organized riots, the organized street violence, the organized campaigns of dehumanization, vilification, posting people's addresses, combining that with messaging designed to trigger, incite violence in the actual organized cells that carry out and facilitate the violence—it is a vast, domestic terror movement, and with God as my witness, we are going to use every resource we have at the Department of Justice, Homeland Security, and throughout this government to identify, disrupt, dismantle, and destroy these networks and make America safe again for the American people.”

God involved in politics?

We just endured the four years of a mentally impaired president who allowed the Country be run by a person or persons unknown while the federal law enforcement agencies were weaponized in support of liberalism. Concerned parents in Virginia became terrorist suspects for complaining about the treatment of their kids. Trump was impeached on the basis of fraudulent faked documents and he was indicted on frivolous charges. His home was invaded by militarized federal cops and his wife's underwear drawer was even violated by federal cops allegedly looking for classified documents. When that didn't work the crazy TDS left set him up for two assassination attempts. Now the crazy TDS left wants to quote the Constitution in defense of an unfunny comic who was costing more than he was worth? WTF?

Cite all your examples of how federal law enforcement was weaponized to support "liberalism." All you nutty far right ppl crack me up. LMAO.

Trump was impeached for abuse of power, something no one should be questioning or unfamiliar with, now that we're seeing it numberous times again in his second term. It's just that republicans are too cowardly to go along with impeachment proceedings.

Trump was impeached for abuse of power....

...despite the fact there was no direct evidence of that abuse, something no one should be questioning or unfamiliar with.

now that we're seeing it numerous times again in his second term.

Mindless nonsense.

Mindless nonsense.

Sooo., the phone call between Trump and Zelensky in which he threatened to cut aid to Ukraine in order to help Russia never happened? Trump never gave a speech in which he incited a riot at the capitol building?

It's only nonsense to the people who crave a Trump dictatorship

I am seeing a clear pattern here. Everything the right accused Biden of the left now wants to accuse Trump of just to get a "Gotcha!" I think it really is just trolling to get the right riled up, and we must resist being troll food. We successfully got rid of the democraps from the WH and are making good progress to decimate the democrap party in time for the midterms. I am willing to let them troll all they want if that is all they are going to get out of politics. I just ignore them and refuse to respond to their troll bait because I am not troll food.

 

[M14 Shooter]

There is no direct witness to the terms Trump supposedly laid out in this phone call.

Trump never gave a speech in which he incited a riot at the capitol building?

Correct.

The truth is meaningless to the people who start with "I hate Trump" and work backwards from there.

 

[krichton]

Correct.

The truth is meaningless to the people who start with "I hate Trump" and work backwards from there.

There is literally a whitehouse transcript of the call, where Trump asks Zelensky to "look into Joe and Hunter biden, as a little favor," right after Zelensky asks for more military support. This conversation was compiled by his own national security council, whose job it is to listen in on the calls like this. No witnesses you say? After the phone call, aid to Ukraine was immediately suspended, which broke federal law. Trump is a Putin stooge and traitor. You know it and I know it, but only one of us is bothered by this.

So the speech telling his insurrections to fight, or we won't have a country anymore, at the end of his rambling speech, and then people proceeding to riot, tear down doors and windows, and injure over 130 capitol police officers didn't happen? This is what you call being detached from reality.

They don't want to have A voice, they want to have THE voice.

No competition allowed. It's an authoritarian thing.

NYU Law School cancels free speech event on October 7 with Jewish speaker

(The Center Square) – New York University School of Law cancelled a Federalist Society event scheduled for Oct. 7 that concerned free speech and featured a conservative Jewish speaker, the school’s reasons for cancellation ranging from security to lack of space.

In a statement obtained by The Center Square, the event’s speaker, Ilya Shapiro, said: “I was grateful to the NYU students for inviting me to discuss my book and the crisis in higher education.”

He needs to be deported, yes?

People who say the most aggressive and dangerous things in public are now celebrated and encouraged.

"Well, the OTHER tribe does it TOO" is always the excuse. Like the person is eight.

There are no adults in the room right now. There's no incentive for being one.

Which is not an abuse of power.
Thanks for the proof.

So the speech telling his insurrections to fight, or we won't have a country anymore,...

"Fight like hell" is a common colloquialism, used by all kinds people all over the country in any number of contexts, fr any number of purposes.
The suspension of belief necessary to reach the conclusion Trump said this as a means to incite violence at the Capitol requires Nth degree partisan bigotry - such as that held by house Democrats and their useful idiots followers, such as yourself.

You know American Citizens cannot be legally deported from the US, right?

He literally broke federal law in order to get a quid quo pro out of Zelensky, but ok, not abuse of power at all, LMAOOO

"Fight like hell" is a common colloquialism, used by all kinds people all over the country in any number of contexts, fr any number of purposes.

Telling his insurrectionists to "fight like hell, or they won't have a country anymore" after spending 75 minutes riling them up about stolen elections, is what you call inciting a riot. Even before he gave that speech he had planted a virtual garden of seeds getting all his idiot supporters to believe his dumb lies about stolen elections, word for word. You are an example of exhibit A.

The suspension of belief necessary to reach the conclusion Trump said this as a means to incite violence at the Capitol requires Nth degree partisan bigotry - such as that held by house Democrats and their useful idiots followers, such as yourself.

A person who had no intention of inciting a riot, would quickly condemn the violence and call for peace right after finding out what was doing on. They wouldn't watch it on tv while eating popcorn, wait 3 hours later and then reluctantly do it over a tweet. They wouldn't ignore Kevin McCarthy's pleas to get his supporters to go home by saying the following.

“Well, Kevin, I guess these people are more upset about the election than you are.”

“They’re trying to f—ing kill me!”

and“Who the f— do you think you’re talking to?”

- Trump

Are these the words and actions of a contrite, embarrassed and upset president who had no intention at all of inciting violence? If you can say, no, then you've just confirmed you're a cultist and Trump is your cult leader.

Edit, meant to say, "yes" in the last sentence, not "no."

I'll take your silence as an admission I'm completely right on everything I've said about Trump
