David Duke can go to Czech Republic, but Tom Tancredo gets booed at UNC for speaking his mind.

Amazing.
Tancredo is the one who suggested that we bomb Mecca.

I'm amazed that he is allowed to run around loose without a collar or a label on him warning people about his venom.

If Tancredo would like to join Duke in Prague, I'll be happy to contribute to his travel fund.

It frightens me to know that I share a democracy with people who think this is a good thing.

Bombing Mecca doesn't seem like such a bad idea to me, while muslims support sharia law.

I guess the libbies working at the passport office and at the customs counter actually let this fool leave the country.

THEY KNEW David Duke wasn't going to Cancun for vacation and they let him travel anyhow!


why does he still have a passport and not on some watch list?

that's your government at work people.... feel proud!

If the U.S bombed Mecca it would be the equivalent of China nuking Jerusalem.

Would that be a good idea also, do you think?

No, it wouldn't be the equivalent of China nuking Jerusalem.

And yes, I still think it would be a good idea to bomb Mecca over Sharia Law.

I think people get confused about the right to Free Speech. I mean, if I worked in a store and someone was using loud, foul language, I would ask that person to leave because I found it offensive. There are certain ways we need to behave in a civil society and enforcing them does not erode our basic human rights. If you walked down the street and yelled "Kill Obama" you would be arrested for threatening the POTUS. Words that incite hatred and violence can be as damaging as the act itself.

We have no right to tell other countries how to govern. Of course I'm not talking about genocide or torture. If someone doesn't agree with the laws of another country, then he/she shouldn't go there. Remember the caning incident in Singapore? The young man broke their laws and was sentenced to caning. I agreed. For some reason Americans feel they are superior & above the law.

If the U.S. was to bomb Mecca, no American would ever be safe anywhere in the world again.

Can't tell if you're joking. Yes? If not, please post a link. Thanks.

I don't see how the ACLU can have any legal standing in another country.

What is wrong with you?

Maybe we should bomb Tel Aviv for continuing an illegal occupation which makes the world hate us.

What laws did he break to prevent him from leaving the country?

Yeah but he was not inciting violence he was voicing an opinion. I think the numbers of dead in the Holocaust is grossly inflated as well.

You can't "pick and choose" free speech, as much as groups like the ADL would like you to think otherwise.
