Khan seems to think that since something isn't of value to her, it must not be of value to anybody else. What a self centered and completely obtuse point of view. She would like to make it illegal to say something simply because she personally does not find value in it? So.....what if other people find value in it? Is she the arbiter of what is considered to be of value? What a horrible argument....no wonder Hitchens had an outburst. She's making outright fallacious arguments, and there is NO possible way that she's not aware of this.
