It's Time to Upgrade Free Speech to Fair Speech

And the victim card! It's a twofer!
They shoulda said "and my mother, a card-carrying member of the Klan, did nothing to stop my father's hideous crimes." That woulda been the trifecta!
Perhaps north korea with its' complete control over the media is a concept american brass see as a savvy policy, no pesky press digging around to challenge their version of events on the world stage.
Free speech and press freedom are simply too difficult to control in a democracy, any voice not in goose step with regime dogma must be censored at least and silenced if it persists. How can state dogma be entrenched if a platform for dissent is tolerated?

You didn't read the article, did you?
LOL!!!!
The author not only does not promote violence against right wing individuals, he supports their right to speak unmolested in public forum.
He actually believes in free speech, unlike you.
Kudos to him.
Oh the poor LIE-berals they want so desperately to be fair.......just so long as they look good and get re-elected and if we dispose of all the fake news then LIE-berals would never be elected ever again!
Consider:
Cdn LIE-berals have a peculiar fondness for psychological analysis and for offering up the sort of advice they think would please Doctor Phil-so it amuses me to point out some especially LIE-beral mental quirks-such as:
LIE-berals spend money compulsively. The scale and scope of spending is clearly a cry for help and a MASSIVE compensation for some emotional deficiency. LIE-berals would benefit-among other things-from credit counseling! Its no mean feat to have bankrupted a country as rich as Canada!
LIE-berals display a gross Narcissistic tendency. They consider themselves to be the natural governing rulers of the country. Consider the response of Our brainless Boy Trudope when he won his election: he stated “now we have our country back”-as if Canada had become some alien place that should not exists unless Our foolish Boy was leader! Clearly the Boy has problems with self worth!
LIE-berals display a substantial paranoia when faced with any opposition. One has only to think of Ontari-owe premier McWynnty-known to some as The Great Whore because she has sold herself, her party and our future to the civil service working family Hogs- and consider her response to the LIE-beral gas plant fiasco. The public was rightly outraged and the Conservative party leader Tim Hudak poked holes in the array of lies told by The Whore as she sought and FAILED to hide her shame. She went so far as to threaten to SUE Hudak for defaming her character! Such a shameless display of LIE-beral hypocrite outrage intended to intimidate, coupled with her endless lies-which were all eventually exposed reveals a quite unhealthy sense of paranoia and irrational persecution!
WE may also fear the compulsive LIE-beral social insecurity-a fear so deep and debilitating that Our brainless Boy has seen fit to RESTORE funding to Arab groups that retain ties with terror groups Hezbollah and Hamas! What price such anti western “friends” as these for emotionally stunted LIE-berals?
We should also speak of the LIE-beral “messiah” complex-that muddled desire to somehow save those whom LIE-berals designate as poor and dispossessed. LIE-berals see fertile ground for aiding the distressed on Cdn native reserves-its just too bad that the crippling LIE-beral desire to be loved at any price is HURTING those whom LIE-erals profess to want to rescue!
Our previous govt under Harper correctly identified wide spread corruption on native reserves. At Kashetchewan, native leaders wasted a huge sum of money sending a hockey team-complete with numerous adult chaperones off to a tournament in California. Expenses included the major air fare bill, costs for quality hotels, nice meals, alcohol and a chunk of mad money that was dropped at a casino. This money was intended by federal govt to be used for major repairs to drinking water plant and sewage treatment on the reserve.This money was deliberately squandered and the town was left with unsafe drinking water and a river full of raw sewage flowing through the reserve-and pity party native leaders blamed Harper and cheapass Cdn taxpayers for their predicament!
On the Atiwapiscat reserve, band leader Teresa Spence presided over the waste of 105 MILLION dollars taken directly from Cdn tax payers PLUS another 45 MILLION deducted- with federal assistance- from mining giant De Beers as royalties for their mine in the area near the reserve. This money-150 million dollars was supposed to be used for building badly needed housing on the reserve yet now the money is gone, there are NO new houses and worse yet-there are No receipts to show WHERE the money went!
Other native oriented scandals involve housing money used to send east coast natives on Carribean cruises and immense salaries for a raft of native “leaders”. One band chief-leading a reserve with less than 500 people on it was collecting over FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS per year! And yet natives continue to blame govt for their poor housing conditions, bad water and other burdens!
The Harper govt planned to reduce native corruption and related housing misery by forcing bands to post ALL their reserve spending on line so it could be seen at a glance if money was being fairly handled. Sadly, our grossly insecure LIE-berals have done away with the anti corruption measures implemented by Harper and native bands may now do as they please with govt money-with NO oversight from our insecure “lets buy friends at any price” LIE-berals! Ordinary natives are now WORSE off than before thanks to LIE-beral friendship and Cdn tax payers are picking up the tab for LIE-beral love of natives-that is being repaid with VOTES for LIE-berals!
LIE-berals have an irrational compulsion to “do good”-its too bad they cannot define that good. LIE-berals have sympathy for poor misguided drug addicts and criminals as so many of them come from broken or dis-advantaged homes. But LIE-beral obsession with collecting friends means they are blindly forgiving any and all criminals and failing to protect the public in the process.
What is your point?
He doesn't punch them, he doesn't say jail them, he doesn't say prevent them from being heard, he says they shouldn't be employed at the White House.
I concur.
Free speech is free speech. As someone mentioned earlier, fair speech has to be then decided by someone else. Let the man speak but if he incites violence or does something violent thats when it needs to be addressed
Judge not a man by what he says, but by what he does...
Nazis hate free speech and love fakenews, and never make accurate predictions, that could be YOU.

Well that's exactly what I'm saying.
Free speech does not address that incitement of violence.
Nazis hate visible minorities and they will use free speech as a tool to harm them.
Fair speech is entirely a subjective matter.
What is fair to one is unfair to another.
This is the underlying reason why the premise of fair speech is totally baseless
Free speech is subjective.
It currently favours those in a position of authority.
Especially gubmint.

Fair speech means approved by someone...
Then it ceases to be free, It becomes policed speech....
Bingo.
.. And the big question is: Who sits in judgement as to deciding what speech is fair?
Georgie Orwell would be sickened by the gravitas of this ridiculous movement
Fair speech means approved by someone...
Then it ceases to be free, It becomes policed speech....
Fair speech is simply a reasonable amendment to free speech that everyone can agree with.
For example, no Nazi parades.
Oktoberfest is cool though.
Even people who understand 1984 don't believe this tripe.
