Let them speak.

Bush's words - gotta love George W. -


"I don't know where bin Laden is. I have no idea and really don't care. It's not that important. It's not our priority." --Washington, D.C., March 13, 2002

"You know, one of the hardest parts of my job is to connect Iraq to the war on terror." --interview with CBS News' Katie Couric, Sept. 6, 2006

"I don't think anybody anticipated the breach of the levees." --on "Good Morning America," Sept. 1, 2005, six days after repeated warnings from experts about the scope of damage expected from Hurricane Katrina

"This is an impressive crowd -- the haves and the have mores. Some people call you the elite -- I call you my base." --at the 2000 Al Smith dinner.

"Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we." --Washington, D.C., Aug. 5, 2004

Let them speak

Where did I say that? I wasn't even addressing Beck. I think until a standard is set (if that is possible) it is pointless to argue whether or not Beck violated it. Currently it is up to the decency of his employer and what and with who they want to be associated. In Beck's case it would appear that the advertising revenue has been affected given the limited commercial breaks.

Default Bush gets brought up by someone living past tense: 3, 2...1; are you in the now?

Please. Stimulus for districts that don't exist? Obama and his 57 States of America. "Afghanistan is the War we need to concentrate on" but yet a year after being elected, I (obama) still have NO PLAN.

I did not know that. I thought you just had a right to free speech.

So in this bizzarre World you live in....people are not allowed to use their free speech rights to encourage corporations to stop spreading hate speech?

Arianna Hufington said nothing about using the laws or the Government to shut him down. She compared his speech to crying fire in a crowded movie theater.

She said his rhetoric is irresponsible.
It's amazing. They stand there screaming "free speech" while attempting to silence people.

A lie can't hide behind "free speech", I think that is what people object to.
