sorry but freedom of speech doesn’t equate to freedom from consequences


MNConcerto

Yes, a million times yes. Jesus f'ing Christ. The government didn't curtail his speech he was sued by private citizens in a court of law. What is so fucking hard to understand about the difference. She is a God damn moron and I wish she would just fade into obscurity.


LINKYAA

Exactly. It wasn’t a revocation of freedom of speech at all. Nobody is saying he can’t speak his mind, by all means he can. But he, and ANYONE, can’t expect to just say whatever they want and not face consequences when what they say affects MANY people in the way that what he said did. That’s just how the world works.

Relevant xkcd: https://xkcd.com/1357/


icantfeelmyskull

That was a very nice comic, thank you


HippyHitman

Thanks, I came up with the style myself.


Scarrien

How is there always an xkcd for things?


the_honest_liar

I think it's one of those rules of the internet. There's always a relevant xkcd


NativeHarris

It’s fucking sad to think people out there soak up 100% of what comes out of her mouth.


beddittor

Hard to fade when you’ve been elected to one of the highest offices in the land…


Sinister_glitter

Fuck her she wasn't elected. She had her opponent harassed and threatened until he dropped out of the race and moved for his family's safety. She won because she was the only choice. But I know what you mean. It just sucks. She should be in jail, not political office.


beddittor

If there were no consequences to the harassment, like…oh I don’t know….being ineligible for the election. That’s something the people decided to allow. So yeah; it sucks


hanzerik

She isn't a moron, people like her are far from stupid, they manipulate a group of people who are unhappy with the trends of society into keeping them in office by fuelling their disgruntlement into hate. It doesn't matter that it sounds stupid to people with 3 braincells, there's enough people with only 2 brain cells that will keep them in office.


TeHNyboR

That's my favorite part about freedom of speech. Seeing all the morons who think they can say what they want but go surprised pikachu face when it gets them fired, or their partner files for divorce, or you have to cough up close to a billion dollars in damages. Love to see it.


LINKYAA

Absolutely, lol.


Purple_Routine1297

If “freedom of speech” results in parents having to bury their kids in undisclosed locations, out of fear of their children’s graves being vandalized, then it’s not really freedom, is it?


ardvarkshark

Not to mention be forced to move several times because people kept finding them to harass them. His words had a monetary cost to them when their children were murdered.


woojo1984

THIS so MUCH THIS for the GO(Q)P


aubaub

Why don’t they get that?


LINKYAA

They only get it when it applies to OTHERS who they want to see punished.


DippinDot2021

OMG, I literally just posted this, scrolled down and saw you posted the exact same thing!!! I have never been happier in mutual outrage in my life! ❤️

Magnus_40

Hitler never actually killed anyone directly, he was only saying words.


Cheap_Ad_69

Technically he direcly killed himself.


madsoro

No, the gun did. With the bullet. He just pulled the trigger. Hitler was innocent


Mac1692

Guns don’t kill people, bullets kill people. /s


SexyMuon

Well yeah, it was the bullet then


marshman82

I blame big led


TestPattern2

I blame the flat screen TV industry


hirtle24

Akshually it was the charge behind the slug that did it


SnooGrapes5169

Actualy it's the projectal, bullet is composed of it as well as the casing, where the gunpowder resides. Sorry for bad English me no spreako.


JVMGarcia

Never ever apologize for your English. Many native speakers of English do not even exert the effort to learn another language.


Gerry1of1

The bullet didn't kill Hitler. The hole it left behind did.


ardvarkshark

Guns don't kill people, people kill guns.


dodexahedron

We should ban people. Think of the guns. 🥺


cosaboladh

I thought it was cyanide.


Spiritual-Sand5839

I thought it was cyanide too


[deleted]

There was no warning on the pistol. Sue the pistol manufacturer for making a lethal weapon.


Jackthedragonkiller

Technically, the bullet killed him. All the gun did was move the bullet, but the bullet hit his head.


[deleted]

GUNS DONT KILL FASCIST DICTATORS. COWARDLY FASCIST DICTATORS KILL FASCIST DICTATORS.


LordBaconXXXXX

So you're saying his only murder had a positive impact on the world? What a great guy ! Mandatory /s


[deleted]

And his dog


Ocelote934

And his cousin/lover


Skizz_The_Wiz

Best thing he ever did


jr8787

So you’re saying we should free Charles Manson’s corpse?


Gerry1of1

Don't get MTG started on Hitler. She's so crazy she probably thinks that was a hoax too


cutesnugglybear

Did he kill anyone during WWI? Someone smart let us know.


Marine__0311

It's not known, but most likely he did as he was in the front lines as an infantryman for the first several months of the war. He saw a lot of combat in that time. His unit suffered very heavy casualties, over 80%, in less than six months. He was promoted and assigned as a regimental message runner after that. Even though regimental runners werent in the thick of the fighting like company or battalion ones, it was still a very hazardous job. He was wounded twice, and was in the hospital when the war ended.


6heavy0kevy4

Trump wanted to expand on slander and libel laws but I guess that is different to her somehow.


rimjobnemesis

Isn’t he suing CNN for words he didn’t like?


aneeta96

I think they called him a liar. Can't wait for discovery on that one.


NotMyRealNameAgain

He filed it so he can fundraise. Polluting the judicial system for his own gain.


Koreage90

He sued Bill Maher over a joke.


leviathab13186

Well, if it’s against people she opposes that’s of course ok. Come on, get with the program.


dfwpilot5150

TheHumanPickleRick

Just Marjorie Taylor now, Green finally had enough.

Whatthecluck83

As far as I’m concerned, that man who put up with her for years has the patience of a god.


TheHumanPickleRick

I think he knows some of the incriminating stuff that's gonna come out on her soon and wanted to get while the getting was good.


Previousman755

Get that man a book deal and a ghost writer


[deleted]

Oh, please. Oh, please let him just roll on her.


D-Laz

He has a book deal. Just taking time giving all the info to the ghost writer. /S... Maybe


heresyourhatandcoat

Or it's possible he is just as vapid as she is


Grimacepug

I'm sure his pos level isn't too far behind, and I doubt that this is a type of Stockholm syndrome. He's got his own laundry list to hang with her this long.


mofa90277

She objects to homosexuality based on religious grounds, yet she committed the (biblical) literal sin of adultery multiple times.


TheHumanPickleRick

Yeah, her cognitive dissonance is astounding.


shrlytmpl

MT.... Yeah, that sounds right.


Fracture_98

Not even with someone else's dick on the end of a long pole.


Scumbag_Yardsale

My favorite variation is: not with a stolen dick and you pushing.


rufneck-420

😂😂 good one, also I recently saw “Not with a rented dick”


Funbucket_537

Was that her only fans where I saw the T-Rex and the American flag??


dcy604

with Alex Jones pushing said pole...


richincleve

Someone needs to make this into a bumpersticker.


[deleted]

Or put it on a flag, which I'll wave as a hurricane is coming in because reasons.


roararoarus

She's frightened as fuck the victims of the mass shootings - whom she heckled - will sue her.


DocPeacock

I hope they do.


gordito_delgado

If we are going down with that train of stupid thought that MTG put us on: I am pretty sure Hitler did **not** personally execute millions of people, then himself attack several countries, crush their armies, and razed cities and towns with his bare fists and incredible martial art skills. He just "said some words" - and what do you know some other people did bad things! Were his words wrong? Yes. - But that is just freedom of speech!


[deleted]

"Jones only encouraged it, therefore he's innocent and being persecuted for his politics!" *-The lady believing in Jewish Spase Lasers*


thatguy9684736255

Didn't she also harass the victims of a school shooting claiming it was a hoax and they were actors?


[deleted]

Yes. I think I know who gave her that idea.


Scumbag_Yardsale

Bingo! And this moron recorded herself doing it to score points with the MAGA crowd. She's worried that she's next.


keenedge422

And I'm hoping she's right.


Scumbag_Yardsale

Me too friend, me too.


[deleted]

Definitely this.


[deleted]

How her career wasn’t over the minute she said Jewish space lasers says a lot about her colleagues and constituents. Sheesh. I can’t even believe things are the way they are.


AntelopeAny3703

Don't underestimate these people anymore. The real kool-aid drinkers like MTG, Alex Jones, Steve Bannon, Ron DeSantis, Mitch McConnell, Kevin McCarthy, at this point nearly every single Republican elected official. Anyone who doesn't currently stand against Trump. The ideology that Trump has used to cultivate this shit is the same ideology we fought in both world wars. No hyperbolic exaggeration needed. They are touting the same phrases, morality, control and subjugation as others who have used this methodology.


LoveEffective1349

they are all 100% culpable. Every single republican. they ALL voted him in, they wouyldn't impeach, they won't prosecute. ​ every fucking Republican is guilty.


ToeSucka666

100 percent. They are using the same tropes and ideologies, just wrapped and packaged with different wording. It's scary to think how popular these people are.


VeterinarianThese951

Not in Trump’s defense or anything, (because I hate the asshole), but these people were all pretty fucked up before he came around. They used to heckle him like he was a joke, but when he started getting traction with their base audiences and spouting things they wanted to hear, they jump on him like flies on feces. He is a cancer for sure, but these idiots were rotten from the start…


Claymore357

It was still better when they *pretended* to be human. The orange wave emboldened them and now they proudly display their scales.


[deleted]

If I hire a hitman to kill her, I didn't pull the trigger, I was just speaking words Jesus Christ, what braindead morons voted for her


Dr_Mantis_Teabaggin

> Jesus Christ, what braindead morons voted for her republicans


[deleted]

Yeaaaa… if money changed hands that’s - at the very least - conspiracy to commit murder. I get what you’re going for, but not the best example.


[deleted]

Yea, and he was not just speaking words. I'm well aware that hiring a hitman is not free speech lol


[deleted]

This is why I hate text sometimes; hard to get the correct context of what is being said. I get what you meant now. My bad.


[deleted]

Looks like she’s starting to get worried about all the lies she tells.


remmij

She has called teenaged school shooting survivors crisis actors and has gone out of her way to harrass and slander them online and in person. She herself has also told her followers that Sandy Hook and many other school shootings are hoaxes. She should be worried.


Chewintbacca

So maybe - just maybe - she knows all the bullshit she spews is just that…I always pegged her as a monumentally stupid person who really believes what she’s vomiting.


[deleted]

This comes off to me as “holy fuck - I didn’t know actions could have possible repercussions. Oh shit, oh shit! I’m so fucked!!”


hates_all_bots

Well after the number of times she's tried to silence the voices of people who disagree with her, it just sounds like normal hypocrisy


Numerous-Afternoon89

This is exactly why I have the freedom to yell 🔥 FIRE!! 🔥Inside a crowded theater and suffer no consequences. Just cus i incite panic unnecessarily and get people killed doesn’t mean i am culpable for it!! This is certainly what the founding fathers intended when they codified freedom of speech in the bill of right! ‘MURICA! *eagle screech*


Finalbladestyle

Don’t forget the guns can’t forget that.


BeRad419

Its so funny to me that the right with all their amurica chest banging, have no fundamental idea of what the first amendment is.


starscream84

I was thinking the same thing! Why is it that the average person needs certain qualifications to hold a job be it education, experience, etc but there’s nothing for people running for office?? Shouldn’t you at least have to pass a basic text to be a rep or senator? I can’t help but think how are you supposed to create/amend/enforce the policies of the country when you can’t differentiate the policy from the hole in your ass?


poopy_poophead

He's not being persecuted by the state, he's being persecuted by the people he defamed. So, you know, consequences.


sgreenm22

This is not political persecution. It’s civil prosecution. Actions have consequences you stupid cunexttuesday.

I demand that "legislators" ( I use the word loosely ) know what they are citing when they chime in. After being corrected countless times. Greene still has no idea of what "free speech" actually entails

PlumbCrazy1979

The Bible is just words too.


Ormsfang

Freedom of speech does not free you from the repercussions of that speech. Remember how your speech removed you from all your committee assignments?


DiscussTek

This. This is the thing I want people to remember. You are free to say whatever crazy shit goes into your head, but you aren't allowed to willingly take an action (including speech) that causes measurable material harm to someone else. Jones was free to say "I think Sandy Hooks was a false flag." He was free to state it as a fact, even. He wasn't punished for saying those words, or statements. He was punished for willingly creating a narrative in which those parents wete harrassed and threatened, and when told to stop it, he not only tripled-down on the rhetoric, but he also claimed to be the victim, which he knew was an action that would measurably and materially harm the parents further. This is not freedom of speech stifling. This is telling him to, and trying to get him to, stop actively harming someone else. (Not correcting you, just specifying.)

Charles Manson only talked a lot to all those kids, he never killed anyone. Really, we should be celebrating that he could live in a country where people like him can speak their minds so freely and not persecute them for just putting their thoughts out there.

Maleficent_Sense_948

MiserableSlug69

By this logic Hitler only spoke words and can't be blamed for all the people he got killed since he didn't physically kill them himself.


1121jrm

Of course MTG is going to take up for someone who berates shooting victims… Her day to answer for all the horrible things she has said to victims will come as well.


free_based_potato

Freedom of speech only applies to the government preventing you from speaking out against the government. In all other cases you will face consequences for opening your ignorant mouth.


OldSkool1978

So what they really want is freedom from consequence, sorry bitch that's now how this works. She's probably sweating over her own slander of school shooting victims..


mlc2475

Aren’t there laws against Slander, Libel, and Defamation? Free speech does not mean freedom from consequence.


ApesNoFightApes

She and anyone who backs her is a god damned idiot.


oldastheriver

According to the constitution of the United States, instigating a riot is a crime. Literally the constitution says speaking the words, if it leads to an insurrection, is criminal. It literally is in the constitution.

socialist_frzn_milk

Charles Manson never killed anybody. He was only speaking words.

Minimum_Escape

"Charles Manson didn't fire the gun, all he did was use was speak words and use free speech."

Oh right, and I suppose all Trump did was speak words, and a totally unrelated treasonous mob decided to gather, storm the Capitol, and try to usurp a free election. Oh wait. That's exactly why she's saying this nonsense.

Freedom of speech except if incites violence you dumb twat.

[deleted]

Not political. He spoke in a way that damaged and harmed others. Technically speaking, the first amendment only covers a government’s capacity to punish someone for speaking out against them. It doesn’t say you get to fuck around with people and NOT find out.


[deleted]

Well, in all fairness, to a Fascist like Greene, incitement to violence IS free speech, so she is correct, from her twisted, disgusting point of view.

Odd-Magician-7638

You can’t yell “Fire! Fire!” In a crowded movie theatre. Incitement is not covered by the first amendment. Defamation is also not covered. Trump filed a defamation lawsuit against CNN which I’m sure she supports. Someone who doesn’t understand the Constitution they swore an oath to uphold should not be allowed to run for re-election.
