lockstep reverence, loyalty and hero status for a member of the "right" right

weird

The First Amendment might as well no longer exist. If you point out what the man said, you might as well pack your stuff and wait for security to escort you to the parking lot.

...isn't really protected by the First Amendment.

If I owned a company, I wouldn't want someone working for me who publicly celebrated the murder of anyone. Not saying that people should mourn him or feel bad for his family or anything else, but IMO, murder based on someone's speech, regardless of how abhorrent that speech is, should be condemned, not celebrated.

In the case of teachers, I wouldn't want someone who would publicly celebrate a murder teaching my kids.

In the case of military members or federal employees, publicly celebrating the murder of someone based on their beliefs and their speech after taking an oath to defend the Constitution isn't compatible with service, IMO.

I don't want to be murdered for expressing my beliefs, and I don't want that for anyone else either, even if they are despicable people with despicable beliefs.

I get that you're talking about simply repeating his own words, and I get that it's very different from celebrating his murder, but I've been reading quite a few reports of people in the categories I mentioned above posting and actually celebrating his death, which for me is a red line.

I realize that this may not be a popular opinion here, but I can live with that.

public universities, which happened at two of them in Tennessee (ETSU and MTSU) and I think in some other states.

...and I'm fine with them being fired, because again, people who celebrate murder should have no place in a classroom, IMO.

Looniest NAZI in the world!
