The reaction to the video and news stories is a little disconcerting. Some are complaining the “Free Speech” has been taken away, others are saying that this is no big deal.
The truth is that FR has a strict anti-racism policy. Free speech is practiced here everyday, but if anyone had posted the chant that these idiots were singing, with the “n-word” and taunts about lynching, the post would be zotted, and the poster likely banned.
Just because the left is opposed to something doesn’t mean the right has to support, or defend it. These ADULTS made asses of themselves, and are an embarrassment, and wrong, and they should be chastised.
I totally agree that the racism should not be tolerated...and if I were there, I would have not been amused.
The hypocrisy is not with the conservatives who find racism wicked, but with liberals who only see racism when it involves idiots like these kids.
And pretty soon the Government will be announcing that criticism of Muslims or Homosexuals is also verboten. (They are already working on it.)
I suppose we are already too far down this road of "permitted speech" and "prohibited speech" to ever go back.
Now i'm wondering where are all the people who have been telling me that "you can't legislate morality." ?
