"In the wake of a foiled terrorist attack in Garland, Texas — where two gunmen attempted to slaughter those at an event for the best cartoon depicting the Prophet Muhammad — some have called the event an “incitement” to violence and questioned whether free speech protects “hate speech.”
TheBlaze’s national security adviser Buck Sexton took apart the argument in a web special posted Friday, pointing out that “doing something provocative is not hate speech just because those who are provoked hate what is being said or done.”
"Whoever would overthrow the liberty of a nation must begin by subduing the freeness of speech."
Benjamin Franklin
