The Right to Mock

This started over at Instapundit, where there was a quick jab at Comedian Steven Colbert (Insty was dismissing him for not having what it takes at mock Muslims, along with Mormons), but there is a link to The Volokh Conspiracy where there is discussion of a Judge who threw out a case involving someone (a Mr Talaag Elbayomy) attacking a person, in a Halloween parade, where the parader was carrying an anti-Muslim sign, and shouting that he was the Prophet. Yes, poor taste on the part of the parader, but at a time when over 20 people, including two Americans, have died over the accidental burning of copies of the Koran, and Christians, as Christians, are being killed in the Middle East, the judge seems a little flip.
