+256 You respect every person right to freedom of speech, freedom of assembly, etc., but you wouldn't mind breaking that rule in a few cases like the KKK and the Westboro Baptist Church ("Thank God for 9/11") amirite?

I believe in complete freedom of speech because it is a vital human right.

If everyone would just ignore them, I believe they'd go away. They do it for attention so their church gets noticed. They WANT to stir up some controversy and that's exactly what they're doing. We could do what PETA does and throw red paint on them.

You can't do that... It's a slippery slope.

Well they still need their free speech too even though the majority of civil, educated people strongly disagree with their views but yeah they don't need all the attention of it because that's really the only way they can get their point across. But I don't get why if for example if a Muslim group were to say "Let's have halal meat in school because it's offensive if you don't" it'd be alright and people would just say "oh yeah it's cool, we are in a free country" but if it was say a white church group who said "Let's not have halal meat in schools because we don't want to eat halal meat; it's not Christian" people would instantly brand them as racist? Freedom of right & assembly should be equal for EVERYONE.

even the westboro baptist church knows that they are being ridiculous in exploiting their right to freedom of speech...

You have to treat them like trolls. Don't give them attention and they will lose followers and go away.
