i see blacks being racist to whites all the time. for some reason this is ok.

It's not okay. Call them on it.

Who's being denied they're right to free speech?  Anyone can stand on a soapbox and blather on about whatever.  Doesn't mean I have to listen to them or that they have to be on the news 27 hours a day, 10 days a week.

This is fecking ridiculous.  Also, why does this guy get a pass?  If a Christian minister/priest/whatever threatened someone's life after they made a disparaging cartoon about Jesus, they'd be in prison.

You appear to want them prosecuted. That's not a free-speech denial?

Now, you also backpedaled from that statement later, claiming we did not understand the subtlety of it. I continue to maintain, however, there is nothing subtle about claiming someone should be imprisoned for what they have said, particularly since it has not resulted in action. It's a big flashing sign that says "I HATE FREEDOM OF EXRESSION".

I'll stand by that, what he said was the Moral/Ethical equivalent of yelling "FIRE!" in a crowded movie theatre.

Not really. It looks like he basically said "I hope this person dies. They should be in hell right now." Nothing worse than what goes on at Fox.

Have you ever even watched FOX News?

ok, the difference here is that even though some US pastor may call for the death of Obama, there really is not a lot of recent history of such calls being answered, on the other hand there have been quite a few people killed over the last few years over such simple things as drawing a cartoon, which is the exact situation here.

I dunno, we've killed a lot of people who did nothing at all to us except got born in the wrong place.

You mean besides when Bill O'Reilly goes on every night for months screaming "Tiller the Baby Killer"...then some Christian nut goes and actually kills the guy?

Or when Fox spews bull**** about Obama taking people's guns away...and then some ex-Marine in Pittsburgh kills three cops because he thought the Feds were coming for his guns?

Yeah, just keep telling yourselves "it could never happen here"...

[Bobboau]

I didn't say it couldn't, I didn't even say it never has, I just said it hasn't recently.

[karajorma]

Well if you mean it hasn't happened this week....
