Wow. The attempts to quash opposing viewpoints didn't take long.

Given the left's very broad definitions of "hate" and "racism" I can easily envision something as simple as urging "removal" of a politician from office will constitute a threat.


Brady is making a mistake if he introduces such a bill. I don't think the motive is to quash opposing viewpoints but that's what I would be afraid it could turn into.

Fair play!
