ORIGINAL: TheHeretic Some of us down here take our First Amendment very seriously. now if only that were the reason for the post, your own allen west is all for censuring the media outlets for wikileaks thats ok tho???? im so sorry your widdle feelings are hurt free speech, a bitch huh Why would you even type such nonsense, Lucy? I'm damn sure we've touched on free speech before, and I'm consistently clear about where I stand on that. The answer to free speech used badly, is more speech, not censorship. Of course, I also have a leaning towards laws that fine you $25 for punching a flag burner (or a member of Westboro Baptist), support prosecuting anybody who shouts 'fire' in a crowded theater, and I think there are very good reasons to have classified information. At least with US law, Assange is free to his artwork, commemorating what a miserable shit of human being he is, but I believe he needs to pay a stiff price for using such sensitive, stolen, raw materials. With 250,000 pages to dig through, I'm hoping he can set off on a world tour of countries that have cruel and unusual punishments for simply repeating something bad that someone else said about king. General rule of thumb, Lucy. Anybody calling for censorship because they disagree with an opinion, isn't mine. Not unless they are in my crosshairs, and I'm calling the target. Pot calling the kettle grimy arse. you are wanting everyone to agree with you on free speech, but cmon thats not the way it works, this situation with wikileaks has a lot of people confused and torn between freedom of expression, security and safety and lack of all of the above. attacking the poster and not the post was what happened, because he is not american. I was commenting on that fact. would you like me to supply you with Allen Wests office number?
