The Totalitarian Leftist Tactics against the Right

Actually, it implies no such thing.

Cat's eye, your video is ridiculous. Do you accept that proposition that speeches like Clinton's are what caused the shooting yesterday?This is exactly the kind of stuff I thought you meant. I couldn't ask for a better illustration of why your position is bogus.

If everyone got a free choice in their religion, then there would be a widespread distribution between Muslim/Sikh/Hindu/Jewish/Christian/atheists etc amongst children of Christian families and similarly amongst the other religions. Are you claiming that's the case ? I have seen Asian people punched in the face by a passing skinhead - I have seen gay people abused without defence by bigots - I have not seen white people punched for their colour or straight people abused for their sexuality. I think people should be afforded extra protection if they are receiving extra abuse. Are you prepared to claim that, in the states, Republicans suffer as much abuse/prejudice/bigotry/violence as black people ? That's wrong - but it's not hate speech. The disinction is important.Edited by vimesey, : No reason given.

That would be hate speech. How about some examples of folks in the media or politicians actually doing that. I'm not going to claim that nobody does that, but if you are going to tar "the Left" or "liberals" in that way, I expect you to show some mainstream calls for violence.

No, I've already said I don't.But if the leftists don't want to be hypocrites, then they should admit that according to their own logic it does.

I guess you missed the incident of the white guy being dragged out of his car and beaten by five black men for supposedly being a Trump supporter, which he wasn't, he was merely white. Or the mentally handicapped white guy who was kidnapped and tortured by four blacks for being white and a Trump supporter? you must be watching the wrong news sources.

Are you claiming that there is a widespread distribution between Democrats/Republicans/GreenParty/Independents amongst children of Democratic families? There's all kinds of videos on youtube of Antifa doing exactly that...All you have to do is call a white guy a Nazi first, then you're justified in assaulting them As much? No, but a non-zero amount of vulnerability? Yes. I'm not seeing it.

Those are criminal assaults - I have been talking about hate speech.

I'll pass, I don't have the time right now. But it's "leftists", not liberals.

But I was responding to this, which isn't hate speech: And actually years ago -- in the seventies -- I once had to endure an abusive hate-filled speech by a gay rights advocate against straight people, saying we're all really homosexuals and should face up to it. We started out sympathetic to the cause and ended up in some other mood altogether.

Way more so than amongst religious backgrounds, yes. And I note that you don't deny my rebuttal of your point. There are some examples of that - are you claiming the preponderance of racist assaults against white people is greater than against black/Asian people in our societies ? In my view, it doesn't require Republicans to suffer a zero amount of vulnerability in order to protect black people/gays etc. Because if we are to limit freedom of speech, to protect vulnerable segments of society, it is right that we limit those limitations. Hence hate speech should be a very specific definition.

Wow do you have a low threshold for hate. Wow. How Leftist can you get?

Indeed (as to the punching part, in any event), but that was an example of why black/Asian people are especially abused in our society, and hence worthwhile offering protected class status for hate speech. Assault is criminal under any circumstances.Edited by vimesey, : No reason given.

OK how about the expressed opinion that white people are the cause of all the problems in the world? How about the bullying of a kid for being blond and "looking like Trump" because he's blond? Edited by Faith, : No reason given.

The contempt underlying it - contempt for the truth as well as individuals - is a pretty good indication of hate. Let's face it proof is a pretty good justification for criticism. But apparently not good enough when you are the target.
