Fox News priest demands government ban Satanic masses ‘in the name of free speech’
David Edwards

Fox News contributor Father Jonathan Morris on Sunday called for officials in Oklahoma City to shut down a Satanic black mass because he said worshippers were “inciting violence” by mocking Christians.

Satanic mass organizer Adam Daniels insisted lass week that the event being held at the Oklahoma City Civic Center on Sunday was not a stunt, and would follow all state laws.

~snip~

Fox News host Clayton Morris pointed out that Oklahoma City had already determined that the Satanists had a free speech right to use the Civic Center.

“But what if I want to go and desecrate a Koran out in front of my church?” Father Morris asked. “What if I want to speak pro-Nazi stuff right in front of my church and get people all fired up on a public sidewalk? I think at some point government has to step in the name of free speech.”

Is it still free speech when others take advantage of it?


There's an anecdote, I wish I would remember the details:
A progressive was wearing a T-Shirt with a progressive message near some Tea-Partiers. One of them, an old man, got upset over this blatant display of a political message he doesn't like and said: "You know, I have First Amendment rights!"

I don't care what he says, the guy putting on the Satanic mass is trying to get under the skin of idiots like this priest.

And by the looks of things it seems that he has succeeded.

At least he's on fox news whining about free speech instead of molesting kids.
