Kimberly,
I wish the same. Freedom of speech, the first amendment and screaming 'Fire!'
in a crowded theater... if there are written, enforceable laws (and there are
many) that for example... consider murder a crime, blatent racist hate crimes
illegal... how can white supremicists openly call for, ask, and solicit these
illegal acts and claim they have the right by way of the American first
amendment?!? I guess this KKK group has been censored on more than one ISP.
Maddening! It is maddening that US laws protect the rights of aryan nations to
march their hate speech through our towns, they don't carry the US flag, they
carry confederate and nazi flags and with their loud speakers say 'death to
mud people and jews' in god's name. It's difficult to counter this very sick
part of our society. What we're trying (with little luck) to do here in Idaho
is spotlight their actions, beliefs, and statements at every opportunity in
the media, bring it out in the open and take these beliefs to task in a public
forum. But when public steam picks up, they disappear back into their militia
compounds and refuse interviews or debates only to reappear with a bombing,
parade, or some unsolicited mass mailing in search of more followers. Doesn't
take long to fade away in the minds of the public, momentarily...
Media quiets down, people go about their business and put this element on the
back burner as if we've forgotten they exist here and are a growing part of
America.
