Ted,

I simply was implying that it was not protected under his 1st amendment rights.  I know it is not against the law, but he could not use racist remarks and then claim he has the constitutional right to do such. That type of speech is not protected

I beg to differ. All speech should be protected, including racist and offensive speech.  If it's not protected then it means that people can be arrested for doing nothing more than voicing their opinion.  A scary thought.
