During the fall campaign season, a former Governor had a post on Facebook.

Ms. Giffords was among those on the map.
I expected this to come out, but not from you.
I don't want to put words in your mouth.... But this post makes me feel that you would be OK 'banning' speech of this sort.
Will we ever get past living our lives in fear of the lowest common denominator? There will ALWAYS be crazy people who do crazy things. Why should we inhibit our Liberty to keep ourselves "safe" from the crazy people? I mean, look at FOX/HUFFPO/MEDIA MATTERS/etc. The same insane aruguments come out every time something like this happens.
