[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is one more step towards dictatorship.

Speech is no longer free.

If you want to live in denial because your cult leader denies it, you are free to do so, but don't expect the rest of us to ignore the fact that you're taking away our civil liberties and human rights.

Look at what any of the international human rights organizations say.  The US is getting less free, according to almost all of them.[/quote]

There are no "civil liberties" or "human rights" to harass, intimidate, and threaten people whose politics you don't like, or whose religion you object to, or whose ethnic origins you find offensive.  The pro-Hamas demonstrators act to prevent others from enjoying their lives in peace, advocating in an offensive and oftentimes criminal (trespassing, vandalism) manner on behalf of non-U.S. people and organizations, and against a U.S. ally.

There is no reason why the U.S. should tolerate such behavior from non-citizens who clearly demonstrate no interest in peaceful co-existence with their neighbors.  Reminiscent of the Gazans, come to think of it.

There is no section of code under the immigration and nationality act that says people can be considered inadmissible or deportable for “offensive” or even hateful speech. Unless this conduct falls under the crimes of “moral turpitude” or affiliation with a designated terrorist organization, the act of protesting alone would not be a legal basis for deportation. The US has very expansive speech protections. Speech that most people would consider extremely offensive or disrespectful is largely protected by the constitution. [/quote]
