All the man talked about was God, family, and values.
He wasn't a threat to anyone with any knowledge that knew what he was saying.

He just wanted a better world for his kids than he grew up in.

That isn't hate speech.

Hell no. Like anyone who makes his/her living by public speaking, I am sure that there are clips of things Charlie said that he probably regretted saying in that specific way. And I am sure there are clips that can be completely taken out of context to prove some random point.

Having said that, from what I have seen of CK, he was measured, prepared, and sharp. Perhaps the only thing I disagreed with him on was his saying that he would not get an abortion if his 8 yo daughter was raped. And that's OK. That was his belief.

What are we calling hate speech? Which point of view are we taking?

Pretty sure this all stems from people either using only part of a quote or a quote out of context. I have seen the NYT make a correction because of this. So, the leftist mob just repeats these partial or out of context lines without ever having actually seem him speak.

Birthing people, unhoused, equity, changing the definition of a vaccine, now “hate speech.” If the left doesn’t all have degrees in Women and Gender Studies, then it’s some type of degree in Linguistics.

I'm so sick of it. He has 100s of hours of debate, sermons, speaches, and interviews. Not one time did he not come from a place of love and truth. What they hated was that he was always right.

It is what the left does. If you do or say anything against their ideas, thoughts, actions, or words, you are labeled a "hater". Well baws, me be a hater according to them and I DNGAF!

When Noah of the Holy Bible cast open the ark window after the rain, he saw a rainbow. Well, I hate to say it, but for some reason one of the groups that will call me a hater loves their "rainbow" flag.

Many consider the Bible hate speech. So they classify Christians as haters. If you don't agree with them, you are a hater


Yet they actively protest on behalf of those who support and want Sharia Law. The same people that would throw them off the roofs of buildings if they stepped foot in Gaza.

The hypocrisy of the left knows now bounds.

There is no such thing as hate speech, it's a made up narrative to get weak minded people to hate the opposition.

The problem the left now has to deal with is more and more people are going to see clips of what he has said. He had a big audience with the young but his clips are going to be everywhere for the older middle of the road apolitical people to see.

More normal people are going to see him talk and say "you people killed him for this!!!!" This is the bogeyman nazi/facist??? Are you people nuts?

Exactly.

The most notorious is one I’ve seen leftists use over and over on social media:

“He said black women don’t have brains.”

What he said was “Jasmine Crockett and Katanja Brown don’t have the required brain power for their positions.”

It was a specific reply to a specific question. They’re trying to paint him as saying all black women.

What do they consider “hate speech”?
ANY speech that does not conform to their current marxist ideals and standards.

I disagree, it's the retired white people and middle-aged broken family parents that are hellbent on 'anything but capitalism'

No. Liberals hated his speech and it hurt their feelings so in their warped minds it was hate speech but facts aren't hateful.
