If you ridicule someone for speaking about how they feel, then it is not free speech. That works for all parties. My concern is that making fun of those with other views is counter-productive.
Speaking up for your own views and opinions in an intelligent manner is worthwhile, ridiculing others is not.
Writing, calling, and attacking a family who has just lost a loved one will make us all look bad.

Excuse me for trying to think logically, but if someone has the right to call a person a liar and a "whistle ass", and have that right protected as free speech, then calling that same person the village idiot must surely be free speech.
