It's times like this that I am reminded of the genius of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. Imagine being hauled in front of a tribunal here in the U.S. where the normal rules of evidence that apply in real courts are not relevant. Where, as the defense counsel for Macleans argued:
“Innocent intent is not a defense....Nor is truth. Nor is fair comment on true facts. Publication in the public interest and for the public benefit is not a defense. Opinion expressed in good faith is not a defense. Responsible journalism is not a defense.”
In other words, there is no defense. It's all about feelings.
Let's not go down this path, as so many other countries seem to be.

Britain is crushing under the weight of the same crap and nobody seems to give a shit. Their making all kinds of concessions to avoid offending Muslims. I say we send Jackson to England and have him blast away at the Islamists like he does the Christian zelots here at home.
Jackson would just spend all of his time in used record shops buying old late 70s British Metal on vinyl.
Come to think of it, so would I.
