Again, I am aghast that you feel freedom is speech means people can effectively say whatever they like, being taught whatever people wish them to be taught - and not expect such overt freedom of speech to have severe ramifications. One example: Klu Klux Klan. They said whatever they liked, they instilled their hatred to such proportions that it affected their behavior (burning people alive at the stake because they had a different colour of skin as a common occupation of the KKK, gang raping tender young males & females etc). That is why there respect has to be taught, respect and tolerance for all races, creed, religions -because without those 2 very important aspects (respect and tolerance) - the world may as well rip each other apart and all law enforcement agencies may as well hang up their boots and badges right now.

Seems to me the Liberati are happy for the world and his wife to have freedom of speech, no matter how inflammatory or offensive, but YOU and I? Not a hope
They wouldn't recognise commonsense and justice if it smacked them in the face - I don't know whether to be sorry for them or just ridicule them as an endless source of amusement.
