…what’s the rationale for defending the antiquated need to tolerate HATE when what you could be doing is protecting the civil rights of those under attack by the haters?
— Who for the most part are non-Muslim white Christians. And conservatives, whose latent domestic terror proclivities hang threateningly over a compassionate nation dedicated to social justice and multiculturalism.
The First Amendment isn’t absolute, after all, and if you push for consensus interpretation in other instances — or as a rule– there’s really no reason you should be allowed to treat preferred amendments as sacrosanct monuments to dead white slave holders.
Which, textualist bonus!
“We have ways of making you not talk.”
What country is this again? I’m not sure any more.
Dear Fed,
Exactly what “Civil right” have I violated if I post the Mohammed cartoons?
Be specific, footnote appropriate SCOTUS decisions.
otherwise,
f*ck off …
Most sincerely.
I’m just certain that the Feds will come down equally hard on every Facebooker who makes a comment about Catholic priests and altar boys.
Thank you, Oliver Wendell Holmes (and co-tyrants) for the assault word ban…
Darleen’s response is pretty much what the response should be.
A priest, a rabbi and an imam walk into a tavern…
Racist.
That should be a short seminar, not even time for tea and biscuits.
My thinking too, SW. If sent a cease-and-desist letter for expressing an opinion, the correct reply would be, “No.”
If a follow-up is sent, it should be returned with a cease-and-desist letter of my own, outlining my position that their position — that I don’t have the right to insult someone — is an opinion, on an equal footing with my opinion that lawyers who try to silence speech because it offended somebody, ought to be horsewhipped as public entertainment.
UK: Police order shopkeeper to remove “obey our laws” t-shirt
– Yeh well, you just wait. The Muslims will take only so much of this intolerant demand to obey silly laws in the UK before they slice off a few heads, and then those racist blokes will be sorry.
Should I go Kickstarter with my idea for a 24-hour cable channel on which lawyers are to be horsewhipped?
Well, excepting the lawyers we like. I say go for it.

Right before they hauled yours in front of Kangaroo Court.
I hear from a friend of mine who is a law professor that if you shout “Fire in a crowded theatre” your right to free speech is not protected and you can be prosecuted for it. I suspect that If you whisper it they can get you obstruction of justice too because you tried to cover it up that you shouted it by shouting it quietly. If you do it three times in front of a mirror then Bloody Mary will appear and issue you a summons. But she may look tired because it’s a long way from Scotland, 426 years ago, to here. Jet lag. Y’know.
The U.K. is pretty much over. We’re headed in the same direction.
Islam will win.
There are those in the UK who have smelled that smell. The smell of death that surrounds it.

“Fire in a crowded theatre”
it is falsely yelling fire
test
Unless that fire is global warming and the theatre is human industry…
I think falsely yelling that “we got trouble right here in River City” should be illegal too. And singing “Shipoopi” in some half assed Buddy Hackett voice should earn one the death penalty.

Bloody Mary was Good Queen Bess’ sister, a Tudor queen of England — not to be confused with Bess’ cousin, the Stuart queen of Scots.
Another piece on this.
I think the Obama administration has a completely different view on the 1st just as it does of the 2nd any every other amendment. They speak a language all their own which resembles English but is not.

You seem to have the evidence on your side, cranky.
I’ve decided to throw down on this DOJ seminar.
Bill, you’re going to have to show your work if you expect us to buy that one.
OK, I’m convinced.

National Soros Radio: Mapping High-Risk Hate Speech Zones in Barack Obama’s America
They are hung up on racial, they should look at political to find the real concentrations of hate. But that might hit too close to home.
that’s just crazy cracker talk Mr. geoff
here is a singing for Mr. Carr for to enhance his enjoyment with his brunch
Honky? Who says that? I haven’t heard anyone called honky since the old Blaxsplotation movies (Cleopatra Jones, etc.) from the 70s. The only people I ever hear saying “nigger” are blacks.
Yes, there’s a lot of “wetback” in Texas. It has decreased a lot from the 1970s, though. Didn’t know a bunch of old folks used Twitter.
‘Unless that fire is global warming and the theatre is human industry…’
A well placed volley from the xiphosuran wing!
Keep firing!!!
