I do not believe "it's ok" regardless of which puppet sits at the head of the table.
This country was founded on 'free speech' and that right should be absolute. I do not condone the Klan, anti abortion activities, skinhead/nazi's, homo fearing, arab propaganda and the rest. However, I do believe all of them should have the 'right' to voice their grievances, and demonstrate if they like within reason.
Oppression of free speech is a slippery slope, and other bigots, idiots, closed minded or fearful people's intolerance for others can lead down a road I have no interest in seeing our country go down.
Sadly, many are too apathetic to care or stop it. Society today does not seem to get infuriated enough unless it effects their cell phone, internet connection, or favorite website. I guess they will not 'wake up' or care about these types of things until the police and military are goose stepping down Michigan Avenue.
