To me, the bottom line is this. . .
You can protest any cause or action, and express yourself in any way you see fit, but you shouldn't verbally attack people without basis.
When you start lowering yourself to name-calling and slandering others you become counter-productive, and you defeat the whole purpose of self-expression.
By calling the protestors "idiots" even jokingly, the guy in the picture is saying that their opinions don't matter as much as his does.
The picture was meant to be funny, I know that, but it is disrespectful of others and their opinions. That, to me, is the root of prejudice. Once we start choose sides over differences in beliefs, and do it in a hateful way, we're moving backwards as a society.
So, whether or not any cons utional rights are or are not being violated, that type of at ude and the support of it, is a little disheartening.
I love poking fun at people, I do it in here all of the time, but I know there is a right and wrong place for everything.
