Really, you're offended by someone being called a clown

Some people really don't believe in truly free speech.

Either speech is absolutely free or it is relatively or conditionally free. When it is the latter then that means it is being controlled or limited by those with the most power or the loudest voices even though they may not be the majority.

Those whose speech is deemed offensive by a subjective standard or a group's feelings are losing their rights to express themselves.

What this says is that some one's rights are greater than another's rights. In this case the rights of the offended are more important than the rights of the one who says something offensive.

For us to believe in absolutely free speech we must be willing to tolerate whatever people say or do that expresses their beliefs no matter how offensive or stupid it may be.

I don't agree with what the rodeo clown said or did in the attached piece and video but I believe he has the right to say it without repercussions.

If President Obama doesn't come out and call off his minions who are so critical of the clown's words and actions it is just one more action or lack of that shows that he is more interested in controlling America's citizens than enforcing the rights guaranteed to US Citizens.

I am more offended by the overwhelming amount of vulgar language used in movies and on television. But I guess I have to accept that because those who are offended by someone calling someone a clown don't think multiple usage of the F-bomb in a movie is offensive.

See in the attached piece by Byron York an explanation of the situation that caused this uproar and references to much worse treatment of other US Presidents. Maybe you could say that they just don't make Presidents the way they use to.
