There are always a few offensive signs at any rally, however, in my opinion it is more important to protect the First Amendment then harrass these dopes. Anyone carrying something like this is obviously mentally ill.

The problem is that small minds like Bachmann's see nothing wrong with insulting other religions. She, along with some of her cohorts, whip people up into a fevers pitch to use such graphics as a way of expressing their displeasure. I know some where in the those small minds of the fringe, and several congress people, they are completely justified in debasing a tragedy by using it as imaginary to get a point a cross.
