Look twice, think none!

A US Supreme Court decision on the Westboro Baptish Church demonstrating at American soldiers' funerals was declared as 'okay' under the Freedom of Speech clause in the US Constitution.
So what was the church actually "demonstrating". Their hatred towards homosexuality. The church stems out of Topeka, Kansas (ew) and openly and actively expresses its unacceptance of Americans accepting homosexuality. Signs such as "God Hates Fags" or "Fags Die God Laughs" are brought over to funerals by 'devout' and 'religious' churchgoers at funerals of American soldiers who have served in the Iraq war. Regardless of how ridiculous their demonstrations are, the Supreme Court definitely got this one right. Unfortunate as it is to have such ignorant and obnoxious people in the country who find solace in hating in the name of religion, fortunate it is to live in a country that realizes such incidents as a weakness of the system in order to protect basic human liberties.
Most people in their right frame of mind would only be enraged by such signs and move on without letting it affect their beliefs about gay friends, colleagues, relatives, whatever the case might be.
However, it is amazing that people who claim to associate themselves with being truely religious easily use words such as Hate and Death along with God to give their opinion some weight; mind bloggling to say the least.
It was ironic though, that I read another article about hateful remarks the same day the ruling for this case was shared.
Apparently Mr. John Galliano, Christian Dior's chief designer, could face jail time on his 'Anti-Semitic' rants he made at a bar in Paris. To elaborate, it wasn't just "I hate joos" in Cartman's words. It was more to the effect of Jews deserving to be gassed. Terrible. In France, Anti-Semitic remarks are punishable by up to 6 months in prison. Insane. A whole flock of gay-loathing churchgoers are excused in American court at the same time a fashion designer might be going to jail for his Jew-loathing comments.
Agreed that both incidents are outrageous. But the truly notable thing here is that we are so caught up in what's legal and okay, that the hateful content of the messages carried in both occurrences is not paid attention to. Why question if what's being said and done is accepted by law or not? Isn't it more important to question why are these rants happening in the first place? Should 'whether punishable' be the only discussion point? Such hatred is usually a result of unwarranted prejudice.
I guess the famous proverb of think twice speak once has a newer version: Look twice, think none.
