...is considered "concern trolling".

WTF, people? Have we totally gone down the rabbit hole here?

Details on edit - In discussing the issue of whether Bachmann and political officials have the same right to free speech as any other citizen some have said they don't. I say the 1st Amendment does protect their speech, even when it's wrong and dangerous, and I can guarantee the Supreme Court would agree. In defending the 1st Amendment the term "concern trolling" was used to describe me for doing so. This is a LW site, and if we, of all people, can't grasp the Constitution, how the fuck can we complain about the RW being stupid?
