ShamMol said:^The ACLU fights for anyone's rights. That means your right to own a gun to his right to be here (if that is indeed a right). That makes the public enemy number one for anyone, liberal or conservative, so go ahead and attack.
There is a fine line between preaching violence and hate and what some do...we have to distinguish between that and I am afraid Britain's new laws don't do a good enough job protecting what is essentially free speech and distinguishing that from hate speech (which is now much broader).
The ACLU is a homegrown group of terrorist in suits in my opinion.
Free speech doesn't do you much good if you have to dive out a 100 story window to escape fire. You need to distinguish between hate speech that people shrug of and go home after hearing it. And a speech that preaches killing people in large number. Then people go home and plan. There's a difference between the two. One is not a open and persistent threat to civilized people and one targets them almost exclusively. If you want to talk about people killing people throughout the world. And people listen to you and do so. Your right to free speech should be curbed dramatically or even better you should be dropped in a hole.
