I have to be careful not to let loose my utter contempt for them as I do not live in a country with first amendment protection.

Which is one more reason all these asshole attempts to deny the pure concept of free speech offend the fuck out of me. I supported the ACLU when they supported the right of nazi's to march in jewish neighborhoods even though it was a despicable act.

Either you respect the first amendment or you may as well kiss it goodbye and shut the country down.
