FIFY... The whole thing smells to me. This doesn't seem like the work of such a well-organized & well-trained group to me. The CIA should ask for their $$ back! [Coffee]Quote:

I guess that's true if you don't count the Ft Hood shootings by a Muslim whacko.Quote:

Yup, and OReilly was just as bad. At least Megan Kelly stood her ground on this. Hate speech is a very slippery slope, and thats where the left is going on this incident - muslims become a protected class that needs the big hammer of .gov to protect them from the islamophobic, racist bigots. Oh, whats that you're saying? Muslims aren't a race? Well then - lets just change the meaning of racism to include aniti-muslim!Quote:

In other words, you know this will bring out violence, so your form of free speech is unacceptable in the name of public safety. Using that logic, I guess to have the same legal protection, Christians and Jews need to start shooting people when there is the next art exhibit with the cross in a jar of urine.
God help us...
It really feels like we're living in Bizarro World these days, doesn't it?Quote:

The First Amendment is not necessary to protect speech which is popular. It is their to insure government does not prohibit or deny the right to express the unpopular. A concept like "Hate Speech" is a good example of what any government may not prohibit without risking violating the First Amendment.
