38. No one is taking away his right to free speech

Thu Aug 2, 2012, 10:21 AM

But speech has consequences. If you own a business that relies on the public's willingness to buy your crap, perhaps spouting your hatred of a large group of Americans to an even larger group of American that support them, is a bad business decision.

When he is arrested or penalized by the government for what he is saying, THEN you can complain about free speech.

Until that day.....it's just capitalism! Free market and all that!
