john kerry defense liberties says americans have the right to be stupid
secretary of state john carry offered a defense of freedom of speech religion in
part in the united states on tuesday towing german students that in america
you're right to be stupid if you want to be
we have clip of john kerry
from that speech which we will play for you
live and breve
the idea
of religious freedom and religious tolerance
whatever their religion
and political freedom and political tolerance
whatever the point of view
i mean you know some people
and sometimes wondered about why our supreme court allows one group or
another to march in a parade
even though it's the most provocative thing of the world and they carry signs
better insult to one group or another
and the reason is that's freedom
freedom of speech
in america that you have a right
to be still in
if you want to be
merit in separate to be stupid
now i really like this story richard armed
just because of the fact you know for political maniac that he called american
stupid but i think i didn't call them students are there any way cities and i
think that the
picketing group that he is alluded to which i assume was westborough baptist
church
uh...
how are you assume that it's westborough baptist church
uh... i mean from the text of his interview he saying basically
um...
receiving financial
full tax i mean he says that these people
without hateful speech receiving
so i i i i mean
i agree with the allies in that are consistent is the right to be stupid and
that's why people elect
michelle bachman to united says congress
i mean and that's why people or you know our members of the tea party
and it's a stupid things like
we want to take our country back even though nobody's invaded their country
or they say things like
you know president obama's at tar baby
cell
in a in regards the westborough baptist church thing
uh... what he said was
people sometimes wonder why our supreme court allows one group or another to
march in a parade even though it's most provocative in the world and carry signs
that are insult to one group or another
i think that's referring to people you know one ng the west for a baptist
church aren't you going there you know the ruling of supreme court to say that
you know them protesting a soldier's funeral that were the allegation killed
himself
uh...
that that that should not be considered i mean i think tank i would if i call
that
then exercising their right to be stupid
within their you complained that i think you know americans do have the right to
be stupid
on your first amendment guarantees is the right to be stupid
arm and that's why the west for a baptist church is allowed to be you know
congruent elite maniacal
exactly and on and i think that john kerry
hit the nail on the head here uh... it kind of
the way that he phrased it explained exactly you know addressed exactly
what's wrong
with america
of there's nothing that we can do about it
well what i mean what do you suggest we do about it there's nothing you can
because that's our government
you know that's
that's how we are allowed to do what we do here every friday night
but our word listen folks and we're not stupid
our money in it
i think that we would call ourselves stupid but i think you showed our show
two members of the west for a baptist church
it's a
together definitely
uh... exercising their right to be stupid they promise to black
so that's that
probably
i mean
but don't quote me on that but i don't know what i call you liberal white
black-on-black loving hippie
yeah an act that exercising their right to be stupid
on but you know
so you know cross that line
you know causing physical harm to someone like yelling fire in a movie
theater
well that's actually a very interesting example com which i
probably polarize as most people
because it is freedom of speech
anything is wrong to yet uh... uh...
it's illegal to yell fire in a movie theater
kamikazes public disruption exactly so uh... great where do you draw the line
with what i've got a look at some point i mean the but does it wouldn't you say
that like you know protesting on front of our fall into the fallen soldiers
funeral dozen that cause
public dysfunction too
uh... me i think so
it's a it's a very slippery slope
you know i think comparing the example of
yelling fire movie theater and picking dead soldiers funeral
are too perfect examples of you know the dichotomy that comes when you talk about
do know article in the speech you know a preview of what i call dumplings resort
i think you know i think that john bainer zig i think you i think i does
indeed under is talking about john bainer
he's stupid
i mean he's gonna make phases in your presence was awesome on so many levels
justice always works the doesn't always work as he is stupid
remains undone there's always a good idea
america
for the record first of all he's orange
said of all he stupid and third of all we're now in the era of sequester
because of john bainer
but i think it
what i care i was talking about here we draw a line when it starts to affect
normal people but this does the facts normal be exactly the sequester
facade there's a lot of these stupid all the ones up until a certain point it has
already affected normal people and i would love to deal with it carries lock
'em up and say that he's going to the for unity doesn't have much to do it you
have used your right to free speech incorrectly john bainer annually
we are really looking it for you
i was you could revoked and
before located by the news revoked ended in sp
freedom of speech
eyes like as much libel even the constant i don't think ted
article both different and as it was a user content harm to people that is
simply that you tried to call time is that the info bombing realizing that if
you would be dead or in jail victim
you happened to it
i give you that
use that i think you should i think is america's if you get the things these
card
and when you say stupid things like the west for a baptist church attended a
generous showdown revoked for a little while you get lightyear u_s_ writing on
your freedom of speech card gets like revoked because you're stupid
i think that i travers licenses you have to take a test
in order to have the freedom of speech card
you have to agree one of our tree distances they what they'll happen to
peace and love love thy neighbor
artery
i think if you look at everybody although both the faster decrease
jennifer city conservative residue all love their neighbor as themselves
who insisted the danes had was for about districts
now with the on our in return i think it's it's definitely at great
conversation that we're having here
