Analysis | ‘Hate speech is not protected by the First Amendment,’ Portland mayor says. He’s wrong.
May 30 2017 As his city mourns two men who were killed after confronting a man screaming anti-Muslim slurs, Mayor Ted Wheeler is calling on federal officials to block what he called “alt-right demonstrations” from happening in downtown Portland, Ore.
His concern is that the two rallies, both scheduled in June, will escalate an already volatile situation in Portland by peddling “a message of hatred and of bigotry.” Although the organizers of the rallies have a constitutional right to speak, “hate speech is not protected by the First Amendment,” Wheeler told reporters.
But history and precedent are not on Wheeler's side.
Will there be a warrant out for her arrest by the mayor?
Hate speech isn't if it's dangerous like yelling 'fire' in a crowed theater, but this does not rise to the level of "hate speech"So tell us Teddy, why are liberals like yourself allowed to advocate for affirmative action? You say white men should be denied jobs just because they're white men. There is your hate speech.

I've been watching this story locally here, and it's amazing that a mayor of a large city believes 'hate speech' is illegal.

While Griffin has broken no laws the First Amendment does not protect her from her employer's disapproval of her offensive expression.Words are one thing, but that Kathy Griffin girl went as far as providing a visual aid to go with her statement which in my opinion can only make a person wonder how much farther she may have it in her to go.
Is it really amazing?I've been watching this story locally here, and it's amazing that a mayor of a large city believes 'hate speech' is illegal.
and the problem of course is everything is hate speech to libs.......I disagree........YOU HATER!!!!!!!!!!!
