Whatever. The most fundamental, important form of free speech is criticizing, lampooning and even being vulgar towards our political class. It's the basis for the 1st Amendment's existence, the protecting of political free speech.

The President of the US is not a monarch, emperor, or demigod. He's an elected official in the position of the most scrutiny and most subject to criticism. That's the job and it has downsides. Americans are too easily offended and need to get over themselves. It's a freaking joke, and a decently subtle and funny one at that.

Free speech, get over it.

Is it really that difficult to comprehend someone who is not a partisan?

Why don't liberals understand that they have the right to complain but not the right to limit the rights of others?

It seems to me that throughout our history it's been conservatives pushing censorship laws, not liberals.

Just remember, you may think of this as free speech but free speech also has consequences.

No doubt the "woman" is an Obama voter. Haven't we gotten to the point that all Obama voters are 100% discredited and therefore their opinions irrelevant? I know that I give not one ounce of credence to any Obama voter because they have shown they cannot be trusted with good judgment. This squeaky wheel should be treated no different.

Here's a link to another news source that's running the story. Scroll down for a picture of the woman in question. Yes, a picture is worth a thousand words......
