Can a contemporary 'liberal' distinguish between a person and the proposition he asserts? If he can, but he doesn't, then he ought to be morally condemned.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

Don't make Dennis Prager's mistake of saying that the the First Amendment protects 'hate speech.' That formulation is a foolish concession to the Left's notion that conservative speech is hate speech. The First Amendment protects DISSENT. Hate, like love, is in the eye of the beholder.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

Dissent is not hate. But even if dissent is couched in (what someone takes to be) harsh and hurtful or even hateful language, it still must be protected.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

Democratic writers and leaders are publicly calling for everything from censorship to the criminalization of free speech. The latest such clarion call appeared in The Washington Post by a column from MSNBC analyst and former Obama official Richard Stengel.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
