Here, a CNN anchor asks former FBI director Comey if the FBI should have “shut down” Trump supporters who chanted “lock her up” at Trump rallies.

Constitution, shmonstitution, all that mattters is getting democrats elected. This isn’t some
nut, on the street, this is a CNN anchor.

Free speech? Not if it’s inconvenient to the left.

This should be good news for democrats, since his administration likes to ignore category 5 hurricane disasters

Went over your head as usual. The scary thing, is that the CNN anchor considers it hate speech, when Trump supporters are criticizing Hilary.

I'd classify it as stupid speech, when you feel that someone should be locked up for things they have been cleared of.
Meanwhile the man they are there to support:
Believes dictators rather than his own security people
Meets with Putin alone
Is in love with Kim jong Un
Denigrates the Department of Justice and FBI
Didn't think that reporting offers of Russian collusion during the election to the FBI was important
Fabricates false documents to cover up meetings with Russians
Uses an unsecured cellphone
Had no deals in Russia, wait I had a deal but it wasn't advantageous to me to reveal that and nothing came of it.....not yet anyways
He hardly knew......his lawyer or non lawyer, the head of his campaign,etc.
Grants security clearances to 25 people who don't pass the test
Eliminates the financial check on security clearances
Uses an unsecured email server for official business, oh wait that wasn't him, that was Ivanka, no problem

I’d also classify it as stupid speech. So what does it say to you, that a CNN anchor asked the FBI if the feds should have “shut down” the ability of people to say stupid things? that’s not totalitarian?

Sometimes the media asks questions that they personally know the answer to educate the uninformed, what was Comey's answer?

Fortunately, the media in this country can still ask any question they want.

No matter how much Trump doesn't like it.

"The FAKE NEWS media (failing New York Times, NBC News, ABC, CBS, CNN) is not my enemy, it is the enemy of the American People!"

Here's what Trump said to Chris Wallace, who asked hard questions and unlike the shadow president hasn't gotten another interview:
"What a stupid question that is. What a stupid question. But I watch you a lot. You ask a lot of stupid questions."
Notice he didn't answer the question and implied that anyone who questioned him was stupid.

Let's see, who gave anti trump speeches, certainly anybody who is critical of Trump hates him.

1. Republican George w. Bush
2. Obama gave a speech and never said Trump's name, so much whining about the speech that the next time he said Trump' name
3. Celebrity Spike Lee gave a speech and never said Trump's name, that really set Trump off. Apparently it is racist to not mention Trump.
4. Republican Mitt Romney
5. Celebrity Matt Damon
6. Republican Ben Sasse
7. Celebrity Meryl Streep
8. Republican John Boehner
9. Celebrity Anne Coulter
10. Republican Mia Love
21. Khizr Khan
22. Republican Jeff Flake

I used the Trump counting method and threw in an extra 10

you missed the point, or
more likely, danced around it because it didn’t serve your agenda. stupid speech is stupid. Hate speech is hateful. Neither of those things, is under the jurisdiction of the FBi to shut down.

Perhaps you missed Comey's answer in your article, you could take it to heart.

“That’s not a role for government to play," Comey replied. "The beauty of this country is people can say what they want, even if it’s misleading and it’s demagoguery."

He continued: “The people (who) should have shut it down were Republicans who understand the rule of law and the values that they claim to stand for. Shame on them, but it wasn’t a role for government to play.”

try reading the title of the thread, or what i wrote. I agree, Comey gave the correct answer. What bothered me, and what should concern all of us, is that a CNN anchor could
ever think it’s constitutional for the FBI to shut down speech critical of the media’s preferred candidate.

you need to read more slowly, and try to respond to what I’m actually saying. I was not criticizing Comey,
I was criticizing the media. They are nothing more than the PR wing if the DNC. That’s not why they have special and vital constitutional protections.

Faux continually leads you into the role of victim and you enjoy it greatly.
I have heard people say "how can they let them do that" regarding Trump rallies, she asked the question to Comey, so the people with that question understood that they have that right.
That doesn't make her the pawn of the DNC by having an expert point out that Trumplicans have the right to act like that and that's why I pointed out to you the things I did.

If you have liberal views, you can't ask questions?

And I suppose you think Faux presents a balanced viewpoint, with shadow President Hannity on air each night, and a "Judge" proclaiming her viewpoint daily, very closely aligned with Trump.

yes pete, liberals can ask questions. but they don’t need to be so biased. when i was young, you could watch the news, and have no idea whether the news person was a democrat or a republican. now they are all liberal

anyway, you aske

Somehow that means reporters cannot ask questions you object to.
Some people incorrectly believe that it is the role of the police to stop actions like those that occur in Trump Rallies and it is a valid question.


Meanwhile you believe everything the State/Faux propaganda machine rolls out, and it is quite an organized machine.
The close alignment of Faux and Trump should make you worry more than the rest of the media.
He and his supporters are making Emergency Powers close to The Enabling Act, and one could equate his reaction to the Democrats to the Barmat Scandal.
But history never repeats, does it.

"You need me to tell you that some media leans left? "

You really, really have an aversion to answering question, don't you?

If you look at the entire TV media minus Fox news, is there an obvious, glaring, consistent left bias? Yes or no?

."Somehow that means reporters cannot ask questions you object to"

Hearing those voices again. They can ask fair, objective , challenging questions. Asking if the FBI should go after Clinton critics, does not qualify. Because she would never, ever, in a million years, ask if the FBI should go after those who criticize Trump. That's the difference.

As I said, when I was younger, all the journalists were democrats, but you could never tell from watching them at work. Now it's obvious. They're political activists who call themselves journalists.

"Meanwhile you believe everything the State/Faux propaganda machine rolls out"

Again, hearing voices with help from your tin foil hat. I disagree with the GOP on gay marriage, the death penalty, and to some extent, gun control and health care. And I think Trump is a scumbag. How many times do I have to say that, before you comprehend it? Are we almost there? Are we close?

"The close alignment of Faux and Trump "

Tucker Carlson criticizes Trump every night, as does Chris Wallace and Brett Baier. Megyn Kelly hated him, although she's obviously not there anymore. At Foxnews, you have the folks on Fox&Friends, and Sean Hannity, who are his lapdogs. The others will criticize him. Who at CNN or MSNBC ever criticized Obama, who there ever says anything good about Trump?

Is there a close alignment between the DNC and CNN/MSNBC?

Chanting "lock her up" at a political rally qualifies as being a political critic as much as Kathy Griffins holding a fake head. What was your opinion of that?

You've bought into Trump's Fake news gaslighting and sound like the drunk's wife, who claims he really loves her, he's really a good man, as she stands there with a black eye, again

"The close alignment of Faux and Trump "

Former Fox News president Joe Peyronnin says the network is now President Trump’s "own press organization." And that’s "not healthy."

Tucker Carlson criticizes Trump every night, as does Chris Wallace and Brett Baier. Megyn Kelly hated him, although she's obviously not there anymore. At Foxnews, you have the folks on Fox&Friends, and Sean Hannity, who are his lapdogs. The others will criticize him. Who at CNN or MSNBC ever criticized Obama, who there ever says anything good about Trump?
So when you were a child the reporters just reported the news and that was good, but when Obama became president they should instead have actively criticized him rather than report the news

Is there a close alignment between the DNC and CNN/MSNBC?


What other President has called a media figure nightly?

You have some proof that the media is somehow coordinated against Trump by the DNC? Maybe the "deep state" runs it?
