I know we all think that Cindy got a raw deal--and she DID. However, it occured to me--almost as a funny aside--to ask a question of you all just to kick it around:
Cindy Sheehan has the right of freedom of speech--does George W. Bush have the right of free speech?:think: :think: :think:

many innocents because of an illegal war. It was a criminal act far worse than falsely yelling "fire" in a crowded auditorium.
Lies can kill.
With free speech comes responsibility.
Do you agree?

4. Who's thrown George Bush in jail... |
|
... for expressing his opinion legally? That's the question, not whether Bush also has the right to free speech. He does. The even greater question is: does George Bush have the right to deny others, through his minions, the right to free speech under the law?

it would be nice if the asshole spoke the truth... As long as other's point out the bullshit, The concept of free speech works. Unfortunately we don't have a free press. So the free speech thing isn't working so well.

6. Sheehan is a perceptive citizen telling her story from the dusty |
|
roadside at Crawford while the president zooms by in his arrogant motorcade, ignoring her, en route to Washington where he and his administration will lie and lie and lie and lie and lie about the Iraq War in which Sheehan's son was pointlessly lost.
And the Capitol cops arrest Sheehan.
That's the problem I have with your question.
