DAVE CHAPPELLE BLOWS RASPBERRY AT POLITICAL CORRECTNESS:

If Dave Chappelle seems disrespectful, that’s because he doesn’t owe you anything just because he hurt your feelings. His job is to make an audience laugh, not to make sure you’re feeling okay. If he makes you angry, you have the right to be angry. And he has the right to tell you to go do something else with your time. Go to a Hannah Gadsby show, or some other safe space where your precious ego won’t be bruised. It has nothing to do with him. He is not responsible for your emotions.

Chappelle’s commitment to freedom of speech makes a sharp contrast with the Washington Post calling for the cancellation of the First Amendment today:

MSNBC political analyst and former Obama administration official Richard Stengel argued that America needs to outlaw hateful speech, including Koran burning.

“Yes, the First Amendment protects the ‘thought that we hate,’ but it should not protect hateful speech that can cause violence by one group against another. In an age when everyone has a megaphone, that seems like a design flaw,” Stengel argued in a Washington Post op-ed Tuesday.

I’m so old, I can remember 2017, when the Washington Post pretended to be temporarily concerned about democracy dying in darkness. Or as Kevin Williamson wrote in his new book, The Smallest Minority: Independent Thinking in the Age of Mob Politics, “The Bill of Rights ought to be titled ‘A List of Things You Idiots Don’t Get a Vote On, Because They Aren’t Up for Negotiation.’”

Otherwise, Iowahawk has it right, tweeting in response to Stengel, “I’ll agree to let you outlaw hate speech if you agree to let me define hate speech.”
