Sandy Hook families v. Alex Jones defamation case--judge orders Jones in default

[mcmurtry66]

speaking of blowhards ... What about Alex Jones?

Who is on your side, along with the Nazis, white supremacists, Proud Boys, religious grifters, %3 percenters, Qanon, Incels, KKK, ,.,,, and so many other groups of degenerate nut jobs and grifters I've lost count.

Are you ready to admit they are a major part of the GOP or are you still pretending they are an outlier, so you can point out whats' wrong with liberals without feeling like a hypocrite?

I have no idea what percentage they represent. None. I have many, many conservative friends. Not one fall into any of those groups. I follow politics to a far greater extent than they. I think they number far less than you and others purport. By the same token the liberals driving the insanity have an oversized voice at the moment as well imo. I don't believe they are as large of a group as others purport. I have many, many liberal friends. None support defunding the police, bulking up the IRS, CRT or derivations of same in schools, and on and on.

I think the margins are getting more play than they warrant.

Nothing strange. Come at any adult with condescension I trust you can always expect a go f*uck yourself.

Oh...then go f*uck yourself.

I'm way behind on what you're owed, so expect a few every day.

 

[mcmurtry66]

So the school boards with mask mandates that are receiving death threats are having them come from liberals?

I know some professors who have received threats, even have read the messages, they are being called communists and threaten by liberals?

The threats received by Colin Kaepernick came from liberals?

What point are you making, Marv? A threat isn't protected speech

Just those threats are done to intimidate others from their rights and aren't coming from liberals.

If you support the cause you're inclined to stretch the 1st, whether it's school board threats or after hours protests

FTR, I wasn't being condescending. I thought you would genuinely appreciate a little head check. I know I appreciate it when others I trust here let me know that I've stepped out of bounds.

At this point in this thread, I feel like the Big Guy in the WKRP Thanksgiving episode:

"As God as my witness, I thought the Cooler could rally around condemning Alex Jones."

How this got turned into this circus, I still don't quite understand.

It was Farva's fault, really.

Well I guess that passes for effort.

Is there a problem with an organization deciding who can represent it? I think the Wyoming GOP has that right whether I agree with it or not.

Maybe not. But I suspect the free speech limits you attribute to non-conservatives also involve organizations deciding who can represent them.

The public always decides school curricula. That authority exists in every public system. Disagreeing with the choices is not the same thing as restricting free expression.

The Florida state law banning critical race theory from school curriculum means the majority class is deciding "the facts" to be presented to the state's students. Is there any greater example of limiting free expression through restrictions, sanctions, and penalties (your original charge that conservatives don't do such things) than government deciding which facts may be discussed in schools?

If you can find a conservative who defends the January 6 Capitol invasion in the name of free expression, link it. I’m not aware of anybody who did that.

I could offer you Marjorie Taylor Greene, but I won't try to take up the argument she qualifies in any way as a conservative other than her party designation. My response to you, though, would be a similar challenge to link to liberal leaders who defend "destructive and deadly riots because they see freedom of expression in civil unrest."

Lightfoot for one. Several mayors and prosecuting attorneys instructed that there would be no arrests and no prosecutions for misdemeanor offenses during a protest. I think that qualifies.

There are no arrests and prosecutions for murders, so that follows.

I don't think that's the issue. Rather, the prosecutorial decisions of the Lightfoot administration were more about managing a crisis situation than designating violent protest as a legitimate form of self expression.

that’s the theory. Part of the basis was the idea that graffiti, blocking traffic etc was calling attention to their issue.

Lightfoot doesn't make prosecutorial decisions. Kim Foxx does. They are frequently at odds with each other:

Kim Foxx defends response to Chicago looting, says offenders will be brought to justice

Foxx claims only 325 looting arrests CPD made during May and June were considered felonies.

They aren't part of each other's administrations, either--each is an elected official running their own administrations.

Lightfoot, though, does have power over the police.
