  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

United States Attorney General Pam Bondi is facing criticism for commentsshe made on “The Katie Miller Podcast” last week, where she declared, “There’s free speech and then there’s hate speech.” Bondi suggested that “there is no place” for hate speech in the U.S., “especially now, especially after what happened to” conservative influencer Charlie Kirk, who was assassinated earlier this month.

When Miller asked Bondi if she saw “law enforcement going after these groups who are using hate speech and putting cuffs on people,” the attorney general answered in the affirmative: “We will absolutely target you, go after you if you are targeting anyone with hate speech.”

Bondi has since walked back those comments, telling Axios that the attorney general's office won't be prosecuting citizens for hate speech, but would be pursuing "criminal groups or people that incite violence."

In Biden's America 'hate speech' was pretty much anything that extreme left groups opposed.

Nice that they then changed that position in the statement above to say "things that criminals say to incite violence".

Certainly speech that calls for violence is a bad thing for society.
