Have you contacted Apple to suggest that THEY might want to trumpet free speech and start selling it? 
Hello, is there anyone there?
Didn't think so. |
There is a world of difference between saying that someone has a right to write and sell a product which reflects their personal views, however much one might disagree with them and actively promoting their views and trying to get their views published. I fully support the right of the American Nazi Party to publish their literature. That doesn't mean I plan to contact my mother's synagogue and ask if they'd like to sell Mein Kampf when they have a social event.
Frankly, your attitude is really quite obscene and thoroughly insulting. You make it sound like I and others who support the First Amendment also want to actively promote this garbage. I don't. I was raped as a child. It has caused me to have massive gaps in my memories of childhood and to have many, many phobias and personal problems as an adult. Believe me, I'd love it if these people would disappear and never be heard from again, but I also would absolutely hate it if the First Amendment was trampled on. That's the surest way to destroy the United States once and for all.
Before you spout off more nonsense, take the time to learn about why our country works the way it does and why the founding fathers felt it was so important to enshrine the rights of everyone, no matter how heinous most people may find their opinions, to express their views freely.
