You think OWS thugs would not attack a Freeper or TEA Party get-together just as readily, and as violently, as they did these guys?

And the media would be right there waving the racist banner as a means of condoning it.

Yeah, just like some FReepers on this thread are.

Kind of makes you go hmmm...

Here's my viewpoint: In the United States, people have the right to hold and communicate whatever opinions they want, without having to be in fear of being violently attacked because violent people are offended.

This means that if somebody wants to say bad things about Mohammed, rant about "crackers keeping us down", or declare their dislike for black people, then that is protected speech, and they should enjoy the full protection of the law against any who would assault them over it.
