202. Does burning a flag equate to a call to kill Jews?
Does it?

Why no, I don't think it does.


But let me answer your query. I oppose a Constitutional Amendment. I support any kind of bullshit law that will get the GOP off the issue for now, IF the choice is between a bullshit law and a full fledged effort to amend the Constitution.

Why? Because I am pragmatic, and a Democratic Congress can let bullshit laws lapse or overturn them. But we need to get that Congress seated first. Absent any push for amendment, let the matter be, with no regulation save fire regulations that apply to the burning of ANYTHING.

But again, how can you compare the two? Do you think making it OK in America to call for "Jew Murder" and genocide of an entire group is the SAME as burning a bit of striped cloth?

Yeah, either it is...or it isn't.

I can't believe you asked that question, honestly. It saddens me.
