Oh you have an agenda beyond "free speech."
Your posts convey your opinions on offending groups of people, as well as your opinions of those who would disagree with your stance (you assume they are "lefties" which is a false assumption).

Bad analogy.
Anyway, I think that people are championing the causes of those who have these parties and "ugly woman competitions" as if it serves some larger "Constitutional Rights" purpose. Not because people actually agree with the views expressed in these events. Some people do, of course, and Kevin might be one of them---that's his business. However, there are better things to champion freedom of speech based on. For instance, if a chapter's (not the chapter in this thread) "redskin party" is the epitome of Constitutional Rights then that reminds us of how far we have
not come as a KKKountry.
