So what? Long live "overt provocation" of tyrants.

Nadir: Did that black couple "overtly provoke" the white racists who attacked them for moving into a white neighborhood?

Nadir: What if some right-wingers claimed that you guys "offended" them with your speaking, and that they were going to kill people who taunted Bush? Under those circumstances, would you urge your comrades to stop criticizing Bush? If they refused, would you accuse them of "overtly provoking" the murderously tyrantical rightists?

Many right-wingers, like Slinger, obviously are offended by protests of Bush. The government has also been known to kill dissenters.

There is a difference between free speech on behalf of justice and free speech on behalf of pissing someone off. But Paul, I know that you don't know the difference between justice and a "your mama" joke.
