This is much more dangerous than you seem to realize. It's tempting to let them get 'theirs' because their ideas are ugly to many of us. But if they can be held liable for a vicious murder (which they did not advocate or instigate) on the part of someone who read their site... what keeps you from being held accountable for someone who reads your site then kills a gay?
