Tim Walz falsely claims misinformation and hate speech are not protected by the First Amendment

[Aldebaran]

Just don’t say racist things. It’s easy. The best piece of advice I ever got growing up was “no matter how much you want to don’t ever do a murder or say something racist; you can’t put that genie back it the bottle”.

Wise words, indeed.

Translation: Don't say anything you disagree with me about so you don't resort to name-calling.

 

[Aldebaran]

Not at all. It’s two hen voting and a fox voting on what’s for dinner. As in society today there are fewer racists in the equation.

Unlike in the Jim Crow era.

There's still plenty. They just exist in a protected class now that shields them from criticism no matter what they say or do.

 

[Aldebaran]

Exactly! The would be facing legal consequences like any other law breaker.

Don’t you want to punish law breakers?

Based on an accusation? Is that how you would like your new law applied?

 

[Aldebaran]

Well yes. They are law breakers and need to be punished. Just like those no good dope smokers; they broke the law and society needs to be protected from them.

"Who" are law breakers???

Kamala’s proposed price controls are communistic! See how easy that was! Untruths are lies and Walz absolutely lied about his military service.

Not my point. You seem dead set on contriving to not understand what I am saying so I'm going to go ahead and stop.

Leftists lie and say aweful things all rye time about conservatives and we aren't trying to rake away their free speech.

You miss something very important and you are doing it in your own country. That misinformation and hate speech is very subjective. You just had a lady thrown in jail for 20 months because she posted something about being tired of immigrants coming and raping kids. Which actually happened by the way.

And misinformation, we can't even agree here on a forum if something was misinformation or not.

Our constitution was written to protect speech we didn't like or appreciate. The left attacks Christians all the time. They are allowed to. Liberals lie all the time. They are allowed to.

If you are so concerned about lying, why don't we just outlaw it all together. Everyone has to tell the truth about everything and if you lie, off to jail you go. Is that what you are after?

After looking at post 87 or this thread will you admit you were wrong about this woman?
