Here is another US Supreme Court case on Free Speech rights per the First Amendment ...

Supreme Court: ‘hurtful speech’ of Westboro Baptist Church is protected
http://www.csmonitor.com/USA/Justice/2011/0302/Supreme-Court-hurtful-speech-of-Westboro-Baptist-Church-is-protected

WASHINGTON — In an important reaffirmation of free speech principles, the US Supreme Court on Wednesday ruled that noxious, highly offensive protests conducted outside solemn military funerals are protected by the First Amendment when the protests take place in public and address matters of public concern.

The high court ruled 8 to 1 that members of the Topeka, Kansas-based Westboro Baptist Church are entitled to stage their controversial antigay protests even when they cause substantial injury to family members and others attending the funeral of a loved one.

I would love to see a beautiful painting of Muhammad as Jesus win this contest and then the useful idiots in the media having to Pixilate “beautiful, caring, loving” Muhammad so not to offend muslims (because the image of muhammad is holy and cannot be seen).

If Liberals and Gays in this country see this, they may finally figure out that the Muslims will kill them, first.

Probably wishfull thinking on my part.
