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.”

Frasier: Niles, I’ve just had the most marvelous idea for a website! People will post their opinions, cheeky bon mots, and insights, and others will reply in kind!

Niles: You have met “people”, haven’t you?

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.

have you noticed how often, you find yourself unable to
answer a simple question? o asked
if you felt the media
leans left, you couldn’t answer.

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
activists.

anyway, you aske
me a question, i answer it. i can do that, because i think about things before i decide my opinion, i don’t obey orders given to me by someone else.
