Conservative talkshow host Erick Erickson tore into “moron” Attorney General Pam Bondi on Monday after she claimed “hate speech” did not count as “free speech” and would be targeted by her office.
“Someone needs to explain to Ms. Bondi that so-called ‘hate speech,’ repulsive though it may be, is protected by the First Amendment. She should know this,” weighed in Fox News chief political analyst Brit Hume
Conservatives would know best. They use hate speech more than most.
Hate Experts Hate Hate Experts.
Goddamnit
Two morons arguing moron talking points calling each other morons. What the fuck is going on anymore.

A story as old as time
Proof COVID19 was a brain rot disease.
This is what happens when you choose unqualified people for your cabinet.
Hate speech is free speech but has consequences that does not mean it’s not free speech fucking 🤡🤡🤡
It’s not that the AG doesn’t know what she said is wrong. It’s that she doesn’t care about the law.
The talk show host is definitely a moron.
Moron or not, she is correct. The Supreme Court has ruled multiple times that hate speech is protected under the First Amendment.
It doesn’t matter any more what the Supreme Court has previously ruled. Speech is protected if it supports the regime and not protected otherwise. Things are moving quickly now.
Oh yeah, Brett Kavanaugh saying race can be a factor in ICE detainments even though it directly contradicted their own ruling on Affirmative Action made it clear they don’t give a shit about precedent, even when it’s their precedent.
Well, America, it is time to decide on this. If “hate speech” is actually is protected, then you cannot prosecute anyone calling out Kirk for what he was and stood for. If not, people like Kirk would belong behind bars, which would have avoided a lot of issues in the first place.
Wrong. If hate speech is illegal those opposing the hate speech sponsored by the politicians are the ones that will be prosecuted under hate speech. How do you guys not get this by now?
Sounds like a Confederate is worried about their business model.
They can think that Trump is ruining their lives and they’ll still vote for him because it’s going to be worse for the Libs.
More violent too, per the study DoJ Barbie just took down
apparentlyBeing a racist, bigot, fascist, or nazi is not an innate human characteristic, it is behavior. Even in countries that do not have insane loopholes in their freedom of expression the concept of hate speech is stringently defined. Calling out someone’s evil, malicious, dangerous, violent actions is not hate speech. Speaking out against hate speech is not hate speech. This is yet another example of rightist reality reversal rhetoric at work.
Don’t let the far right hear you say that. You may catch a bullet.*
spoiler
*from the aforementioned far right. I am not threatening anyone. Please let me keep my passport.
They want to be able to arrest their political opponents for saying mean things about them, but if California or NY used the same standard and arrested people in their states for actual hate speech the right wing outrage machine would go into an instant meltdown.
What? No, hate speech is not protected speech
Edit: I’m wrong. Hate speech is allowed, unless you’re found to incite a riot. I was thinking of hate crimes, which are violent crimes with harsher sentences if they’re found to be motivated by hate against some marginalized victim
Which is kind of bullshit because prosecutors cannot be trusted to tell the truth or ascertain as such. A crime is a crime and should be charged and not treated differently because the prosecutor has caused to impute motives that might never have been there.
The fools that passed these laws knew or should have known that people like Pam Bondi would be wielding them sooner or later. It did not take a lot of foresight to see how these laws would be abused but here we are.
If only they could’ve figured that out a bit earlier
