Well, not if you're Trump or Nugent or Palin or pretty much any Republican at all.

But outside of that, you can bet that speech has consequences.

This seems like much ado about nothing. She's a not very funny comedian who did an especially unfunny bit. Never watched the CNN New Year's show before and won't watch it now.

but she relatively high profile. Most of the lynching stuff etc. were done by the huddled masses. Ted Nugent comes to mind (guns not lynching). A mayor from a small town in Pennsylvania. Kurt Schilling was wearing a lynch reporters shirt. Would like to see other high profile examples.

UWisconsin had a big debate about a lynching representation at a football game. 1st Amendment

You should have someone in middle America on speed dial to call and run it by them. Your close friends and associates are going to be as guilty of group think as yourself.

This is going to cost her a lot of money. At parties people will edge away from her when the cameras come out.

Speech has consequences. Trumps travel ban is being held up in the courts partly because of what he said during the campaign.

When Ted Nugent threatened Barack Obama's life Donald Trump feted him with a invitation to the Whiter House.
