1) - I support the legal right for the sign to be displayed.
2) - I don't think the message as written is as effective as it could be.
Where does the second one in any way negate the first? You say they are akin and add two exclamation points.
Heck, theoretically, I could go further and say
1) - I support the legal right for the sign to be displayed
2) - I completely disagree with the message and think it is poorly worded to boot.
And there is still no contradiction. Nor does the second negate the first. Nor are they akin.
What's the deal?

No deal.
Because so many question it, its message not conforming to what some cosider their version of "good taste," and that it was equal space (which happened to be next to the tree/nativity scene) was used to remove via the court of public opinion; and that opinion used the first (questioning it) in substantiating the second (having it removed on allegations that it was hate speech and amounted to being illegal).
Thank you for the response.
