On the face of it I suppose you could say "it's not about racism, it's about freedom of speech", but all those grayhairs were obviously congregating in that hick Texas town to poke fun at the brown people and titter at their "god".
They are welcome to do it, of course, and no religious nut can be excused for showing up with a gun, but this wasn't some noble cause, no matter what they say. They were trolling in real life, and it worked. Don't feed the trolls! Especially when they've hired a bunch of steroid-case "policemen" in military fatigues and tribal tattoos with automatic weapons to defend their rights.
I guarantee that "contest" had a white power element to it somewhere, with some Tea Party nonsense, Birther conspiracy theories, and anti-immigration xenophobia mixed in for good measure.
I would be interested in seeing if their absolute dedication to free speech extends to things like reproductive rights, marriage equality, and gun control.
