My Son Is Fighting For Your Right To Free Speech

Indicator of her Sarah’s confused state, doncha know.

CLEARWATER—Constantly under the watchful eyes of security, the media wasn’t permitted to wander around inside Coachman Park to talk to Sarah Palin supporters. When reporters tried to leave the designated press area and head toward the bleachers where the crowd was seated, an escort would dart out of nowhere and confront him or her and say, “Can I help you?’’ and turn the person around.

When one reporter asked an escort, who would not give her name, why the press wasn’t allowed to mingle, she said that in the past, negative things had been written. The campaign wanted to avoid that possibility Monday.

Stay Away From Plains Our Wacko “Kill Him Supporters

Free speech doesn’t mean free access.  The press can write what they want, but they don’t necessarily have to be afforded special access.

Given the way Palin’s been treated, can you blame her?

Her son is not fighting for free speech. He is fighting to improve Halliburton’s fourth quarter P & L statement. Period.

Anyone who volunteers to risk their lives for Dubya’s campaign contributors is a chump.

Don’t get your thong all athwart there, Jack.  No one is going to suggest that you put on your country’s uniform anytime soon… and I can’t imagine anyone currently wearing that uniform who would want the likes of you next to him out on patrol anyway.

But it occurs to me, your VP candidate is adamantly in favor of US intervention in Somalia (again?) and Darfur, as are a number of other prominent, testosterone-deprived Democrats.  Since the enemies in both instances are radical Islamists, I wonder why it is we haven’t seen any commentary from you objecting.  For that matter, I don’t recall your objections to Clinton’s Kosovo adventures either.

And you sir, with all due respect, are a walking, talking anal sphincter! You may also be one of the world’s first, certifiable, complete morons!


No matter the age or state of health, for a military man it is always glorious to tilt at windmills, rescue a fair Dulcinea and be a gallant knight in armor in a glorious cause.

Yeah, but you are stupid enough to not be grateful for those who have spilled their own blood for your freedom.

Sit Down Hippie! MaMa is talkin’.....

God Bless Governor Palin!

Freedom of speech does not preclude freedom of responsibility for what ya say! Nor freedom from rebuke or ridicule.

I would have loved to have been standin’ next to him......

I gar-an-tee y’all I’d have exercised my right to some political expression.....

No one in Iraq is spilling anything for my freedom, dumbass. They are spilling blood for war profiteers like Cheney.

No Jack.  Just a comment from someone who does not like to cross over the line of respect and into an area that I don’t want to expose my kids to. 

I have become tired of the left’s silly remarks about Bush and Cheney.  At least they had the cajones to stand up to terrorists, unlike the Clinton.

Cheney and Bush are both lying sacks of shit. Keep defending them on the internet though, its doing wonders for the other team. Make sure we all know you like to apologize for and coddle lying sacks of shit.

Got any proof to back that claim up?

Of course you don’t. You are another Lying liberal moron.

Halliburton’s former subsidiary, KBR, is a major construction company of refineries, oil fields, pipelines, and chemical plants. Halliburton announced on April 5, 2007 that it had finally broken ties with KBR, which had been its contracting, engineering and construction unit as a part of the company for 44 years.

Get your Liberal talking points updated. Halliburton doesn’t own KBR you moron. Didn’t you get the memo from your Marxist comrades a Daily Kos?

Bullwinkle on October 7, 2008 at 03:59 pm

Sparkie,

To be honest in your remark, you will need to include many more folks into that statement.  Can you tell me of anyone who said that there were not WMD’s in Iraq before the war..?  That list is infinitely smaller than the one that includes those saying there were WMD’s, going back to before the election of 2000.

See, this just goes to what I was saying.  You on the left are now boring in your attacks.  I trust your same playbook will be used to bash McCain and Palin.

"Anyone who volunteers to risk their lives for Dubya’s campaign contributors is a chump”

Absent from your leftist mantra is your indictment of a monster like Saddam, who terrorized his people, supported terrorism, and threatened Israel and the US over and over.

You live in an alternate moral universe, Jack.

Richard Romano on October 7, 2008 at 04:44 pm

By the way, Jack’s smarmy comment reminds me of the leftist double-standard when it comes to military service: if you do not serve, you are a chicken-hawk; if you do serve, then you are a chump.

You just can’t win with the left.

Richard Romano on October 7, 2008 at 04:48 pm

Free speech doesn’t mean free access.

Maybe not, but nobody is fighting for my freedoms in Iraq.  They are fighting for Iraqi freedom.  You know, the whole Operation Iraqi Freedom thingy?

And when troops return and oppose the war.  Their right to free speech is questioned, as is their integrity, from guys like Rob.  But that is ok, because they fought for his right to question their integrity.

I have become tired of the left’s silly remarks about Bush and Cheney.  At least they had the cajones to stand up to terrorists, unlike the Clinton.

The stood up before they sat down and abandoned the goal so they could stand up against secular dictators that had no ties to 9/11. 

Yes they can.

Then why end the war? If it’s just stupid losers who are willingly fighting for KBR, then why worry about it? We can always have LESS losers who are willing to throw their lives away after all.

You no longer can complain about the war now. You know that right?


For the first time in my adult life, I am ashamed of my country.

And when they fight and return home to support the war, people like you call them tools and pawns.

First of all, not that I’m a Cheney or Halliburton fan, but can anyone name any other company that does what Halliburton does and can do in a war zone? Second, if you think Cheney and his buds are just war profiteers, Kerry has made over $7 million from “interests” that he has in the war.There are many DEMS along with REPUBS that have made $$$ from the war. For those of you who feel the need to bad mouth the troops, you know, the men and woman who VOLUNTEER to serve in the military, knowing that they may not come home, why don’t you just consider them off limits for all of your idiotic remarks.

Wrong again.  What is questioned isn’t “their right to free speech” or “their integrity”, but their judgment.  Obviously, you are far too cavalier in your use of words the meanings of which are foreign to you.

Just as importantly, you seem to have confused a right to free speech with the “right” to an audience which takes what you say seriously.  Of course, there is no such “right” at all.  Nobody has suggested that those few returning servicemen who have publicly opposed the war should be made to shut up.  Nobody!  But their opinions are no better than yours, or Joe Biden’s, and those of us who disagree are under no obligation to take any of you seriously.

Nope.  It hasn’t happened even once, and if you assert otherwise I’d ask you to dredge up links from this blog proving it.

Service in Iraq does not have any thing to do with protecting our right to free speech. It is to implement George’s foreign policy. So why don’t you conservatives quit using that old line. We know better.
