Censoring political speech would, in fact, be restricting speech.

What disturbs me is the assumption here that all conservatives lie, or that everyone on Fox lies. What about Alan Combs, Bob Beckel, Joe Jackson, Susan Estridge? None of them are conservatives, and they are on Fox.

Also, if you watch Fox (which of course I do on occasion) you would see that on every segment, there is a liberal as well as a conservative. You don't see this on the other networks. I personally wouldn't call it balanced, but it's more frequent than the mainstream media does it.

For someone who only "on occasion" watches FOX, you sure rattle off a bunch of names from there.

Canada isn't banning political speech. they are banning deliberate lies colored as news.

Political speech can be (and usually is LOL) lies. All you have to do is say "This is a paid announcement in support of Joe Liar for Congress" and you're golden.

Unfortunately, the main mission of FOX has gotten away from news and become primarily "Political Speech". There's a little thing called truth in labeling. I can't sell horsemeat and call it Angus Beef and that's what some of our news stations are trying to do to us.

Just wondering, Tazzy...is there a reason for the sarcastic and condescending tone you're taking with me? I thought I'd been very polite. Perhaps I was mistaken.

Hillwilliam (cute name, btw!)

I can "rattle" those names because I also follow their columns. They're all liberals, and I've seen each of them on Fox. Are you suggesting that they lie as well?

Free speech has not been abolshed which was my point
I am more than well aware we have hate speech laws, however that has been the case since WAY before this particular incident.
IM perfectly fine with that,
When someone says from this incident that Canada has ABOLISHED FREE SPEECH.
its bull.
PLUS a corporation(as yet) does NOT Have the personhood rights that REAL people have
*THANK GOD* altho that might change under the waster we have now

Yes, the comment from the very classy and very liberal Alan Colmes that Santorum and his wife brought their dying son home to play with it so the kids would know it was real.

Very charming. That's on your list of apologies, I see.

And please, point out to me where I've been less than polite. Though I'[ve seen plenty of name calling and insults, I haven't once risen to that bait. I'm sure if you look, you'll see I'm right.

I see you like to play games. Typical. The Bachmann story is one page over. I am assuming you know how to use a search engine, though you are trying to pretend you dont. I could possibly be wrong, in which case you will find yourself at a severe disadvantage here.
