Not exactly the drooling neanderthal some want us to believe

Quite the opposite in fact, she is extremely bright

A small excerpt from the op-ed you linked to:

quote:



Freedom of speech is the foundation of a free society. Without it, a tyrant can wreak havoc unopposed, while his opponents are silenced.

Putting up with being offended is essential in a pluralistic society in which people differ on basic truths. If a group will not stand for being offended without resorting to violence, that group will rule unopposed, while everyone else lives in fear.

Islamic law as it’s interpreted by extremists forbids criticism of Islam, the Quran, and Muhammad. If they cannot be criticized in the United States, we are in effect accepting Islamic law as overriding the freedom of speech. This would establish Muslims as a protected class and prevent honest discussion of how Islamic jihadists use the texts and teachings of Islam to justify violence.

Some say that “hate speech” should be censored. But what constitutes “hate speech” is a subjective judgment that is unavoidably influenced by the political perspective of the one doing the judging.

Allowing this sort of censorship would mean nothing less civilizational suicide. Many in the media and academic elite assign no blame to an ideology that calls for death to blasphemers — i.e., those who criticize or offend Islam. Instead, they target and blame those who expose this fanaticism. If the cultural elites directed their barbs and attacks at the extremist doctrine of jihad, the world would be a vastly safer place.

If lawyers are involved; smoke and mirrors are a given. The bare bones appears to be a D.A. getting a peeve on for a certain person and a certain organization and pushing the investigation past sanity when they didn't find anything.

It worked to great effect when President Clinton was investigated ad nauseum to the tune of $60 million. Since then both sides of the aisle have gone down that path. So why not lather, rinse, and repeat?

I agree but probable cause can be created by a one time use e-mail from a person unknown on an account created at starbucks as the home account holder and misconstrued facebook posts. Not all that hard.

I forget, how many of the Clinton's close personal friends and business associates went to jail for Whitewater?

I did not say Reagan was involved in whitewater, the cretin was incapable of operating on his own.

So, you troll again, in nowhere land.
