“We are calling on 'corporate social responsibility' advocates to take a firm stand against violent hate speech.”
Tom Borelli
“at a time like this, when the struggle is for national existence, words become things, and evil counsel cannot be lightly overlooked, or mildly dealt with.”
John J Pearson (Republican Judge Civil War)
“Censorship and hate speech laws don't protect GOOD IDEAS…they protect BAD ONES. They keep them alive and push them underground. If someone is engaging in HATE SPEECH, you don't silence them. You don’t tell them to shut up.…You say, "COME OVER HERE AND SAY THAT" You say, "BRING IT ON"…..”
Jules Carlysle
“There are always three speeches, for every one you actually gave. The one you practiced, the one you gave, and the one you wish you gave.”
Dale Carnegie
“Free speech means the right to shout 'theatre' in a crowded fire.”
Abbie Hoffman
“Free speech does not come without equal part responsibility. There is a rise of anti-Semitism that is almost indisputable on college campuses.”
Anthony Weiner
“[Even as America wrestles with hate crime legislation, its advocates recognize the origins of free-speech arguments.] Laws grow out of historical context. What is appropriate in Germany may not be appropriate in the U.S., ... I don't think one society should be able to impose its values on another.”
Mark Weitzman
