Yes, they call themselves Americans and they are Americans. That’s the thing some folks don’t understand. Everyone in United States is entitled to their opinion and they’re entitled to voice that opinion even if other folks find it offensive, stupid, moronic, idiotic, hateful, mean-spirited or…well you get the idea. If someone is willing to give them a platform (or pulpit), people can listen or they can turn them off (or tune them out). It’s called free speech and we have to put up with it.
I have no problem with the good folks at Columbia University who gave Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad a platform from which to spew his distorted view of reality. Just like the Iranian president, the Ann Coulters, Al Sharptons, and Jesse Jacksons (“Hymie Town,” the Crown Heights Riots, Tawana Brawley, and the miscarriage of justice called the Duke lacrosse rape case) of the world have a right to express their distorted views of reality.

I’m sorry, but did I hear someone mention something about the First Amendment?
