Over the past year I have read many questions from people on Yahoo regarding the Freedom of Speech. My question to you is - does the 1st amendment also protect the right to offend people with your speech?
In today's politically correct culture if you make the statement that "illegal immigrants need to go home", you are considered a racist. How is that being a racist? Isn't that advocating that people living in this country illegally must go home and come back legally?
Political correctness has gone too far in the United States. The liberal groups are pushing for the "fairness doctrine", San Fransicko is trying to get a talk show host fired over his comments, etc.
If we have freedom of speech in the USA, doesn't that include the right to be politically incorrect or even "hate" speech? If you don't like it, can't you just tune it out?
