Does freedom of speech involve hate slurs and obscenity.
Maybe someone can help me out on this.
I had a talk earlier in one of my threads about the first amendment.
Someone said it's violation of free-speech to to kick protesters in a Bush speech with "No Iraq War" written on there shirts.
When I pointed out it was liberals who want to violate free-speech with the fairness-doctrine and localism, and will point the differences in my opinion.
So maybe someone can help me on this. Which is free-speech and not?
1: Gays having the right marry.
2: Obscenity in public such as cussing or saying explicit sexual material in public.
3: Flag burning.
4: Yelling fire without one in a crowded or any theater.
5: Don Imus saying "nappy headed hos" which got him off air and sued by the girl he said about.
6: Playing music real loud and disturbing the peace of any area of a neighborhood.
7: Or a conservative getting in trouble for referring Michelle Obama to an Ape.
And some liberals seem to want to interfere on regulating free-speech.
The fairness-doctrine would(not put someone off air because of obscenity) but to limit and regulate free-speech period especially putting restrictions on conservative privately owned radio stations.
Against the right to have handguns or really any gun.
And why when someone whines it's free-speech to burn a flag when our founding fathers didn't allow this kind of stuff.
There the ones who made the constitution so wasn't it them who defined free-speech.
It seems people like to say it's free-speech but don't care what the founding fathers defined as free-speech, especially when there the ones who made the constitution in the first place.
I'm just curious if anyone thinks there should still be a limit to what free-speech is despite the first amendment that defines it as dissent or free to express opinion(without obscene gesture) and to change our government on other issues.
Example, does an Anti Iraq-War protester have the right to protest at funerals of dead soldiers with those stupid Westboro Baptist members saying stuff like "your son is burning in hell"?
