ACTUALLY, HATE SPEECH IS FREE SPEECH AND ONLY IDIOTS AND COMMIES ARGUE OTHERWISE: Temple University chairman rips Marc Lamont Hill amid calls to fire him: Hate speech isn’t free speech. But what Hill said, while free speech, was also hate speech. It was, in fact, a formula for genocide. Still, goose/gander and all that:
Whatever the answer, it makes me laugh to see a dopey left-wing canard like “hate speech” being used against someone for pushing radical-left propaganda like “free Palestine from the river to the sea.” Maybe the chairman’s using the term for that reason, because he thinks it might help campus lefties grasp why Hill’s comments were “problematic,” to borrow another liberal buzzword. Either that or he’s using the phrase to try to teach them a lesson, showing them how “hate speech” prohibitions can be used as a sword against them too, not just their enemies, and should therefore be avoided.
Heh.
