You all miss one important point:
"I'll have the (n-words) voting Democrat for the next 100 years."...LBJ
And of course the 'white (n-word)' comments of Senator Robert 'Sheets' Byrd.
Of course the rhetoric against a certain Hispanic circuit court nominee...
None of which made a big fuss.
The fact is that the Libs have their own 'destruction machine'; namely, the TV network news. The fact is that they actually employ people to watch for things like this. The fact is that they wish to use the 'free speech' thing themselves while denying it to others.
Further, if you check it out, the sodomy laws which are being discussed are very old and were probably passed during a period of Democratic rule within those states.
I do not agree with those laws. At the same time, I believe that both sides of Congress should be judged not on what they might say; but on what they actually DO. If they VOTE harmfully, then they need to be VOTED out. If, like a couple of recent cases, they actually commit illegal acts, then the rest of Congress needs to remove them. Under NO circumstances should a Senator or a Representative be removed or forced to resign over something they said in public or private. That would amount to the complete destruction of the 1st Amendment, since this IS Congress, which "shall make no laws...etc.
As for private individuals, only the gov't is constrained from interfering with their 'free speech'. Think about this 'protected speech' thing. It's a back-door way to limit free speech. Who decides what is 'protected'...?
