The ruling was that he violated the NAACP's trademark.

So, they just have to add something about trademarks being owned by respective parties or whatever?

South Park does parodies all the time. The NAMBLA one comes to mind, something like the "National Association of Marlon Brando Look-Alikes".

1st Amendment, your ‘honor’. Protects speech of all sorts, not just the stuff you like.

Not anymore.

Weren’t leftist judges the ones that said offensive speech is especially the type of speech that is protected under the 1st amendment?

You can’t. Unless you’re a member of an official victim group.

Of course the NAACP shouldn’t exist at all in our ‘colorblind’ society.

Shit. I thought this happened only in Russia. I will go ahead and say it - I hate my own communist Government more than Russia because it effects me more directly. What is happening in Ukraine may one day happen right here.

Guess we better not refer to the BSA as the “Boy Sodomites of America.”

After May 24th, Bomberger may never again publicly use the phrase “National Association for the Abortion of Colored People.”

After May 24th , Bomberger will instead publicly use the phrase “National Advocacy for the Abortion of Colored People.”

If Nazis can parade in Skokie, Illinois where concentration camp survivors live, then this jackass judge should honor the first amendment. I am so sick of these liberal judges making it up on the fly.
