what is hate speech?

[sorrowmonkey]

Dressing up as Adolf Hitler and going to school? Ralph Nader speaking about the Republican party?

This rat bastard starts his speach calling Bush a criminal and traitor, then rapidly identifies all Republicans as criminals. My tuition money is paying for this? "Funny sounding last names" is the way to identify the illegal combatants in Gitmo? Fucking unbelievable. I might have to leave before I yack on my campus.

Maybe you should ask him directly.
Be sure to ask him about Flint. That's my favorite.

I don't think there was going to be a lot of time for questions, and besides, I had to bolt to class. Still, I'm pretty pissed off that my tuition dollars were spent providing this forum for him.

who the hell was that?
I thought Kerry was up here all day.

It was Ralph "Unsafe at any speed" Nader.

Yes. There were some nice references to the evils of tort reform and the asbestos bill. I think he and Michael Moore share a brain.

Well we were fairly sure already. Sweep in, insult and point out what's wrong in their mind, make money on it time and again and never give any ideas on how to fix things and then runnoft again.

that was to show you that free speech is for everybody. Oh waut, he got paid, so I guess it's speech for dollars.
Umm, how about the moral you are to learn is 'bitter attention whores always get their way?'

The man had a few good concepts, then drives them madly off a cliff claiming he was pushed. How he still gets paid speaking gigs I just don't know. I bet Obama would have been willing to speak just to have the venue and he has a lot more interesting (and current) issues he involved/causing.

Power to the people! Down with the oppressor! Bush es El Diablo!

Free speech isn't for everybody. The kid that was dumb enough to dress up as Adolf Hitler got sent home from school. I think Adolf Hitler set records for human scumbag that only Milosevic and Hussein have challenged, but is free speech protected or not?

I think Nader is a worthless dork, and I have little interest in the chanted sycophants who worship him. However, I am mightily vexed that he is provided a fancy forum to worship his dark god, while other similar hate speech is disallowed.

I also think it is quite ironic that someone who complains about the difficulties facing third parties in US politics spent his entire talk spouting Democratic National Committee talking points: Nancy Pelsoi Good, Bush Bad, Lieberman Evil Traitor to the Cause.
