You know, I'm gonna get flak for this:I often struggle with this issue but I think that they have a right to their 1st amendment rights unless it puts lives in danger and like you, that's where I draw the line.
While I am pleased these shit bags got beat at their own game, I bled for the right for these shit bags to have the right to express themselves freely.
Don't get me wrong, I hate them, and hate is a word I don't use lightly, but at the same time I took and oath, something along the lines of "I do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States...." and it just leaves me flummoxed.....
Are they distasteful, absolutely, but I'm not convinced we have the right to take away their right as long as they don't commit a crime. Originally Posted by oldtiger

I think at some point, we as a nation will have to address our 1st amendment rights because with the advent of mass, instant communications and access, the right to free speech is becoming more difficult to justify and defend with absolution. We will have to determine if an all encompassing freedom of speech with no boundaries or limitations can be sustained, as I believe that the 1st amendment does indeed have a moral and social imperative but therein lies the difficulty.Great point!!
