it's why, much as i dislike westboro 'church', i know they have their right to their stupidity and standing and saying rotten things at funerals, etc. also why even the kkk has a right to their parades. i don't get why they do what they do...but i get that they can do it.
as the saying goes 'i don't agree with what you say, but i will defend your right to say it'.

As I said before, if someone says really nasty and hateful things, they probably should get fired, regardless of their right to free-speech and regardless of whether they are conservative or liberal.
As I said before, if a Muslim or a person of any religion is being interviewed and says that they think that something that I do is a sin, I would have no problem with that. Why would I care? If they said that they hate Jews and Christians and all Jews and Christians should die, that would be totally different. I would have a problem with that and I would want the person to get fired.
I don't see any hypocrisy there.
