Fischer: no 1st amendment for Jews and other non-Christians

Funny. Why aren't conservatives and libertarians screaming about first amendment rights?

Oh.

Right.

Protecting first amendment rights only counts when it's used to defend Nazis. How dare I forget?

This is one of the areas where libertarians starkly diverge from conservatives instead of just disagree with conservatives. Saying "conservatives and libertarians" won't get us to go along with your candidate.

Maybe because Bryan Fischer is an old coot nobody takes seriously.

Is the AFA relevant? I'm willing to give a pass for people not rising up because some dickwad from a far right dickwad religious cult said a dickwad sort of thing, because they didn't know this person existed.

Fischer type logic is the rule in many bedroom communities in America. He is nothing new. What is so sad is that for some, it hasn't gotten "old" enough to shitcan. The wealth disparity in America is accompanied by all manner of ethnic and religious discrimination. While this appears disconnected from the usual economic debates we are hearing, it actually is a a frequent add-on component of justifications for economic disparity as well. (As in low skill heathens)

Someone on another discussion board posted a fake email circulating on the net. Supposedly it was an internal memo between Trump and his people saying they were putting in place a system to basically ghettoize and concentration camp hispanc immigrants, Muslims native born or immigrant, as well as blacks. Some folks were disturbed by this thinking Trump was going to pull a Hitler on our minorities like da fuheur or how every you spell it did the Jews in Germany. I replied I wasn't worried about it. There is no way they would try. We are well too armed and would not go down without a fight like most of the Jews did. We would either get out of the country first or burn and kill so many trying to get us it would not be worth the trouble.


All people who are like the gentleman mentioned in the op are just potential shit stirrers. When you have freedom of speech and freedom of press that is what you wind up with---some people push the limits and also will use it to stir up mess for their own selfish purposes. Let him say what he wants but if anyone is ever suffers violence or their rights violated because he stirred someone up to riot he should be liable.

Well, the Libertarian supports the guy to stoke anti-semitism and won't do anything to stop it. But once the herding begins, Libertarians will be the first ones to the Internet to say it is wrong.

Um, if you say so.

Who is this guy?

Either way, he's an asshole. Saying asshole things. Feel free to lambaste him for being assholey.

He has a radio show, so obviously a lot of people take him seriously.

Besides, there have been plenty of times when you rightists screamed and cried about "free speech" in cases involving someone much less prominent than a guy with a radio show.

So the special pleading fallacy still stands. You seem to be highly selective about when you complain about free speech, and it seems like you are only concerned about free speech when white supremacists are involved.

Your hyperbole is exhausting. I'm not attacking his free speech rights, I'm not trying to silence him or in any fashion limit his right to speech. I am, however, saying that his speech is stupid - which is an opinion held by me. He, however, is actively trying to curtail the rights of others... which I object to, by using my 1st amendment right to say whatever I like.
