    I really don't want to live in a country where freedom of speech has become a goal of it's own where nutjobs can make calls for violence against the victim of choice. If not we can just cease being what we are. You have to draw a line somewhere and I think calling for violence goes way beyond the freedom of speech because you create the conditions that can limit freedom of others, calls for violence, no way.
