President-elect Joe Biden’s transition leader for U.S.-owned media outlets, Richard Stengel, supports restricting free speech and creating new guidelines that would make “hate speech” a crime.In a Washington Post op-ed published last year, Stengel, who served as President Barack Obama’s Under Secretary of State for Public Diplomacy and Public Affairs, suggested the government should make “statutes to penalize speech” that is offensive.“Hate speech has a less violent, but nearly as damaging, impact in another way: it diminishes tolerance,” Stengel wrote. “Why shouldn’t the states experiment with their own version of hate speech statutes to penalize speech that deliberately insults people based on

"Hate " speech . " hate " crimes.............all P.C. madness. Free speech is free speech as guaranteed by our Constitution. Is there such a thing as a " love " crime " ? A crime is a crime and free speech is free speech.

Right, Stengel, and people like you will define "hate speech." Will Pelosi calling Federal agents "storm troopers" be included?

Of course, to the liberal democrats, and progressives in particular, they don't like any speech that runs counter to what they want to believe.
If you simply disagree with them, it will be considered hate speech.
I can remember when people would defend the right of the Nazi's marching in Skokie, IL to say the hateful things they said, because it was their RIGHT under the Constitution.

Biden doesn’t need a “Transition Leader,” unless it’s to transition him to the assisted living Memory Care Unit.

If hate speech is a crime, then CNN and MSNBC and all the alphabet networks should be shut down immediately. Obama and Biden should be held in solitary confinement without bail, like Manafort, until their trial, maybe a couple of years from now.

As it is with every totalitarian dictatorship, whatever is disadvantageous to those in power is hate speech. Saying that Biden made deals with communist China for his family's benefit, for example. that sort of thing.
Having people with that mentality in leadership positions in our government is a sign of general disregard for our Constitution. But that's the truth, isn't it? Biden doesn't honor our Founding or those precepts which have guided this nation through ... well, through every trial. And our Faith. We are so quaint, aren't we? We love our country, we revere and treasure our Constitution, while at the same time we are realistic about human nature.
All the more reason to keep people of such authoritarian disposition out of government.
It is worth remembering that the Soviet Union produced a Constitution. Really. It was "written ... on ... the paper" (?) (as BO said so adroitly about the Second Amendment.) trouble was, whenever anyone would appeal to their constitutional rights, the passage --the OFFENDING passage-- would be erased and the offending person would be dispatched, permanently, and even erased if their photo were found in some journal or book about the regime or textbook in schools. It was a lot of work, erasing all those images. They didn't have computers then.
We have an encroaching horde of authoritarians, arrogant minders, who know more than all of us millions combined, triple-A control freaks who get their jollies from controlling the lives of others. And this means controlling their thoughts, too. To save the regime, those dangerous religious institutions, conservative schools and organizations are gonna have to go because they poison the minds to rebel and then dang-it, claim their Constitutional Rights!
And, among the old geezer's advisory group are Zeke-the eugenicist-Emmanuel and Anita Dunn, big fan of Mao, he who wrecked his people by enforcing the recalcitrant or those scary people who wore eyeglasses to repent and abase themselves for their non-communist ways, and then got their heads cracked open. And Jonathon Gruber who celebrated the "stupidity of the American people, voters" cuz that's how they got obamacare passed. By the way, he was talking about those who elected BO. heh heh that wasn't us.
Many of us have been urging people to wake up, to learn history, to understand that the Left means business, and it's not the business of business. They experience erotic pleasure in controlling the lives of others, including their END. Now they are unabashedly pursuing the completion of the "fundamental transformation" of the USA.

"George Orwell, call your office."
The Fascists who will rule through the avatar Robinette Biden are bent on purging any American who holds Constitutionalist views. We are in for a rough ride if PDJT cannot get justice for the election that is being stolen from us.

Why not? They have already had a dry run on speech suppression in various college campi around the nation. And some young skulls full of mush have no problems restricting speech.
p.s. #5: I HATE Illinois Nazis.
