75. But you're kind of missing the point here.

You seem to be assuming that I'm defending his actions. I'm not.

I'm defending his right to say those things. There is a subtle difference, which seems to be lost on you.

I don't defend hate speech, and it's a little disingenuous to try and make First Amendment defenders into people who stand with Nazis and Fred Phelps.

The First Amendment must be an absolute, or it's nothing.
