(25,699 posts)These are forms of speech not covered by the first amendment, owing to the fact they cause harm to others. Interestingly the phrase "hate speech" broadly covers all four classifications, and yet many DU'ers - yourself included apparently - will fall over themselves to defend it at all costs.
Provided it's hate speech against someone they hate.
Good thing this film that you and so many others are rushing around to dry hump targets Muslims, and not Jews or gays or some other group that's not okay to target with hate on DU. If that were the case, you'd all be out on your asses faster than you could blink.
I do not support hate speech. You, and so many others, obviously do.
I do not support bigotry. You, and so many others, obviously do.
I do not support dehumanization of others. You, and so many others obviously do.
And of course, so long as this persists, we have to assume that Skinner, EarlG, and the others all give their heartfelt endorsement of it as well. After all, they're not Muslims, so who gives a shit if DU'ers are running around defending bigotry against them?
Maybe we can do like any other haven for right-wing haters, and start selling DVD's of "Obsession," and books by Daniel Pipes at a nice discount, for people to enjoy?
Why not a few links to Pamela Gellar, while we're at it? I mean if DU posters, and DU's owners are going to be so eager to give their heartfelt, insistent endorsement to blatant bigotry, go all the fucking way right?
