You misunderstand what free speech is. Free speech isn't free if you limit it to only things you like/agree with. Free speech, is a double edged sword, but it's needed. You should want and need stupid people to come out and admit their stupidity; and then easily stomp them down

removing their right to spout their stupidity openingly allows them to only spout it in the dark corners to other like minded individuals which allows it to slowly build w/out refute.

I don’t misunderstand it actually, thanks though. Allowing her to spout her bile to an audience of potentially millions is what’s helping her to gain followers. People seeing her get away with it means they think they can do the same. Removing her might make them think otherwise!

that's not free speech, so yes you do misunderstand it. Her speaking to potentially millions, and that message being hateful at it's base should mean that millions more should counter her any argument she has, easily and remove any leverage she has. that's free speech works.

She has a right to free speech, not to hate speech. There is a difference!

Btw, this wasn’t directed at you, so
Proves nothing also.
And I wouldn’t call myself a liberal FYI...I’m not an idiot who thinks absolute left thinking or absolute right thinking is the only way to live. You do you though

actually I'm a libertarian, right to center left depending on the issues. free speech is one of those issues I'm classical liberal free speech and free expression regardless of your feelings.

This has nothing to do with feelings...you either agree with hate speech or you don’t. That’s up to you! Anyway, you have your view, I have mine. That’s fine!

We differ in I don't believe you have to agree w/something to believe in the right to do it. I don't agree w/Louis Farrahkan saying what he does about Isreal or the Jews, but I believe he has a right to say it, as long as it's not encouraging violence.. alwasy okay to differ.
