Um, when the usual grievance suspects start bleating about "hate speech" and "fighting words" you know the next thing they'll do is organize social (which is fine) and political (which is not) pressure to stop the speech. They'll pass ordinances - we have one in Cary, NC which prohibits political signs greater than a certain size.

I'm not a slippery slope guy, but this movie has already been screened.

PS - I think about 99% of what comes out of the mouth of the "civil right establishment" is bigoted and don't care. So I really don't care what some guy who thinks it's a good idea to hang a chair on his front lawn does. I probably wouldn't care if he burned a stuffed bunny. (Manga joke)

PPS - Don't be the second guy to call me a bigot today, please. I promise you I've hired more people of color, and more importantly more people of low status, than almost anyone you'll ever meet. Because I just don't care.
