203. What is sick and sad is that they exist at all
Edited on Fri Aug-25-06 06:39 PM by azurnoir
Reality is they do. There is little difference between hate blogs and hate TV both are after all mass communication. OK so reading requires a degree literacy. But allowing to exist does not mean MLK died in vain or that the civil rights have been over thrown. Like it or not to squelch hate speech is also an infringement of civil rights. These people have in recent years made an art form of using the letter of these laws to destroy the spirit of these laws. Why make them folk hero's/martyrs to there compatriots when they can just as easily be buffoons with far less effort.
Banning hate TV or speech does not make it go away, it just drives it underground, personally I'd rather have it up here where I can see it.
