Meanwhile Congress Condems Free Speech...

but lets our soldiers work to exhaustion and die for this "war".

Congress has seen fit to spend time condemning the MoveOn.org's General "Betray Us" add, but saw fit to allow our troops to extend their tours of duty to the level of exhaustion.

Disgusting on every level.

Sewer meet congress. Congress meet sewer. But you two already know each other.

A little refresher course:
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

While this is not outlawing speech, it certainly shows how congress feels about free speech.

Not sure how this even got to the point of a vote.

Now Senator Boxer is crafting a bill to condemn the past attack add like the Swift Boat adds. No wonder congress is even lower the Bush in the polls.

Fricken waste of time.

Excuse me, I have bile rising in my throat.

Tazered For Asking A Question

What the FUCK is going on in this country!!!??

I guess questions about Skull and Bones is stictly verboten!

Andrew Meyer, a student at the University of Florida, was pulled from a microphone by police and led away before being tackled and tasered in front of an auditorium full of students as Senator John Kerry urged the audience to "cool down".

I don't know what transpired before the tape starts, but I have a hard time thinking it deserved a tazering.

update:
it seems officer were called in when the student wouldn't leave the mic after the alloted time for questions to John Kerry...not sure that required being tazered when being held down by 4 cops, though...
