I don't know what Dabo's intent was, but here is how I intrepreted it (and please excuse the clumsiness, I am kind of doing this on the fly and in a hurry)

I don't think it was supposed to be funny. I think it is a commentary on if there should be any limits on freedom of speech. It seems to me (as a Canadian watching from the sidelines) that the United States holds "Freedom of Speech" as a principle that must be upheld at all costs even if the things said are libelous/slanderous. We have anti-hate legislation (which may go too far in some cases, YMMV) where you cannot promote hatred against an identifiable group. Honestly, some of the attack ads/ and newshows I see run on American channels would never be allowed here. It seems to be a free-for-all. Half-truths, untruths? It's OK -- We are protected by 'freedom of speech'. Where is the balance point between 'freedom of speech' and state censorship? I really don't know. But I cannot see the value of publishing/promoting something just for the purpose of spreading hatred and causing anarchy. Just my $0.02
