CNN anchor Christiane Amanpour called "lock her up" chants by Donald Trump supporters "hate speech" in a new interview and asked James Comey if he wished he had "shut down that language" in his capacity as FBI Director at the time. Amanpour recounted the frequent chants at Trump 2016 campaign rallies about imprisoning Hillary Clinton for her perceived crimes and wondered if they should have been legal, but Comey responded it was not the role of government officials to censor that speech. "Do you, in retrospect, wish that people like yourself,

I am old enough to remember a time when any American, public figure or private figure, would have struck back at a foreigner criticizing America or American laws, traditions, and values.

Do they even hear themselves? How they can imagine that it should be the job of the FBI to go around shutting people up...that this does not immediately strike everyone in the room as tyrannical, and have people pointing out the First Amendment rights involved...I´m astounded.
They truly are so far gone into the partisan support of the left and blind to their own heavy-handedness.

Ms. Amanpour, we have freedom of speech in this country. I think you are the offending party by trying to shut down this freedom because it refers to your friend Hillary.

Wrong country, Amanpour. Go back and work on your own country, if a dictatorial terrorist state is what you want.

Shutting down adversaries - - often by murder - - is what commies do.
It´s their "thing" - - right Christiane?

Lets be honest here. Any speach that doesnt agree with liberal positions or persons is now classified as hate speech. And so what if it is!
I would urge liberals to re-read the stories "The Boy Who Cried Wolf" and "Chicken Little".
As Ive said before, liberals have come unhinged from reality. They get more unhinged everyday when their accusations and warnings of impeding disaster fall increasingly on deaf ears.

Why do I have the feeling this is what it felt like in Russia in the late 1900´s or in Germany in the early 1930´s?!?!?!?
Take away rights, take away guns, limit speech, arrest anyone who doesn´t agree with the leftist overlords -- yeah, it´s feeling very familiar!!!!!
We need to start fighting back now against the lie-berals and their agenda to destroy our republic, or it is going to be full-out Civil War II very soon!!!!!

Amanpour, a Communist, is just speaking naturally from her Commie elitist perspective. No surprise here.

I believe that Amanpour is originally from Iran who may hold UK citizenship. Cut her some slack, as she may not have ever heard of the Bill of Rights, or the 1st Amendment.

Amanpour should move back to Teheran, put on one of those heebeejeebees, and see it she can make it big in the television market there with her opinions.
