You have a right to say whatever you want to say about any ethnic, religious, whatever group. No matter how stupid and ignorant it may be, I will defend your right to say it.

You do not have a right to touch any person who does not want you to touch them. The old "your right ends at my nose" rule.

It is not consistent to call Arnold to account for his unsavory past and then two inches of text down refer to former Klansman Byrd as "blessed."

Both have the right, in my opinion, the responsibility to reform their behavior, whether either or both is sincere in their repentance is between them, their conscience and whatever deity if any they consider themselves accountable to.

Whether either or both is fit for public service is between them and their voters, ideally; in actual practice it is an irrelevant question. Whether either or both are "elected" is up to their contributos.
