41% of Americans want to abolish free speech

What editor on this side of the Universe doesn't have a scanner that scans for potentially scandalous keywords in text to be flagged before going to press? No, "Obama" scan? Really? I can write a python script for them in ten minutes.

Those people should be escorted out of that newspaper and fired on the spot.

Should the whole crew of actors directors producers and writers who made a movie depicting the assasination of Bush be allowed to do it or should that also be considered hate speech?

I don't know, I would have to think about it. My initial response is that no, since fiction in a movie is very different from the editorial pages of a newspaper. Movies often have plots to kill the POTUS, and it is often the president is the prey in those movies, e.g. "Air Force One". Executed is a scandalous word. Assassination is a scandalous word. A fiction movie though that targets a particular non-fiction president with scandelous words like assassination and execution by name is probably crossing the line, imo.

Which movie is this?

I dont either, just like i think its wrong to call for the execution of Obama, but there were a whole bunch of critics, and hollywood people who did like the movie, who am i to tell them what they can and cant watch, isnt that the whole point?

The problem with banning so called "Hate speech" especially in the era of twitter lynchings, and the perpetually offended, you can find a group of people who will be offended by just about anything, and who are you or me to decide what is and isnt offensive?

Being offended is big money in this country. There are hundreds of thousands of people whose sole source of income comes from being offended.

There is another group whose entire source of income is offending people. The assignation movie is one, these left wingers who piss on Jesus is another group. Its all well and good as long as you dont offend Muslims. There is no money in that and they will cut your head off. The same left wingers who were pissing on Jesus will tell your family that you deserved it, because offending Muslims is hate speech.
