Afghan riots over Quran-burning: 2 days, 20 dead

No he's not culpable for anything some crazy extremists 6000 miles away did. He was warned that it would cause violence. He admitted to knowing people would be incited. He admitted that it was for "stirring" the pot and added nothing to debate only to his publicity, and now people are dead because of it. US civilian workers and soldiers are in danger of it. I hear he's talking about burning Muhammad for the annual celebration.
The President has the right to disperse any intentionally incited gathering. I say he uses it. We all know free speech isn't really completely free. You can't yell Fire in a movie theater, libel or slander. Free speech is incompatible with hate speech.

'Did our action provoke them? Of course. Is it a provocation that can be justified? Is it a provocation that should lead to death?
'When lawyers provoke me, when banks provoke me, when reporters provoke me, I can’t kill them. That would not fly.'

If he knew it would lead to death, and that he had no justification for burning it, wasn't that clearly by definition hate speech? I say, he threw away his rights when he endangered more people than are in his congregation. Not to mention it actually fuels more people's hatred of Christianity and the USA. True nothing illegal, I think hate speech is a good shot though. Regardless, total asshole move. I say we start issuing out first amendment cards.. and when you do crap like this it gets revoked for a year.
