Gawd this is getting old. How do you justify trying to define an entire populace based on the actions of a lunatic fringe?
99.8% of the complaints filed with the FCC are from one, miniscule religious organization that most people don't even care about.

And you want to define an entire nation by these people?
And of course, the obvious aspects to this are being entirely ignored:
1) We have a free enough society that these people can spout whatever they want without fear of retribution. Yet, most everyone here wants to quell the freedoms that don't match their own beliefs.
2) The FCC has to respond to the complaint; it doesn't mean they will find in favor of it. Imagine if the FCC ignored any complaints?
In other words, there is nothing to see here, move along folks. If the FCC finds in favor of the complaint, then we have something to discuss. Should we debate every stupid, lunatic complaint made in this country?
No.
We should be proud in the fact that we live in a place where even the idiots have free speach.
Should we define all Irish people based on their lunatic fringe? Nope.
Should we define all Austrailians based on their lunatic fringe? Nope.
Why are we trying to define Americans by the lunatic fringe(s) that we have?
Or....are we just running out of thread ideas in the Politics Forum?
