Free speech? Not with the "Rally Squads" around

Of course, I source up, now you guys will bitch about the source.

 

I remember reading somewhere years ago about Clinton opponents complaining about getting audited, but these were hard-core Clinton haters in the Arkansas Project and others literally trying to bring his administration down, not Ma and Pa protester at presidential appearances. And as far as I know, the Arkansas Project people were lying through their teeth.

Come on, Free Republic? Yeah, they're trustworthy. :

 

As opposed to a lead from a "Wire services" story that reads "A White House manual that came to light recently ..."

Fine. Let's see some of the Advance Team manuals from the Clinton years. You wanna bet there weren't similar things in those?

Yeah, didn't think so.

 

Well get one. We'll wait. I think you'll find that W is leading the league in completely sanitized meetings with the unwashed masses. At least in the Modern Era.

 

Did she say that she was being audited? She wrote that she had to "send [the IRS] some forms" about her whopping $1,500 in income.

 

In the print version of the DMN story, the "From Wire Services" byline credit had a "Washington Post" tag line for credit. So I guess considering the liberal media source, the story has no crecibility.

 

There is no shortage of criticism of the Bush administration. If they truely are trying to surpress free speech, they're not very good at it. It's on the same lines of people accusing the religious right of trying to wage a "culture war." If they are, they're losing by four touchdowns.

This thread is a lot to do about nothing. Tim Robbins tried to claim his free speech rights were being curtailed, and he was on every street corner saying it.

 

The reason this story is significant is the guy "elected" to lead this country for eight years and has done an absolutely shitty job of leading is insulated from anyone who wants to disagree. I can't show up at a Bush appearance and boo everytime he says something stupid. I thought that was part of the Constitution, the right to free speech and to voice your opinions. Oh, yeah, I forgot, Cheney and Rove told Bush the Constitution doesn't matter.

 

No more or less than any other president I can remember.

 

tony, I'd give any post on this board more credibility than the link you posted.

It was gibberish, for starters.

How about something written in English?

 

The Rally Squads are serving their country in their own way. Cut 'em some slack.

 

So, to be quite sure here, the Religious Right is not trying to wage a "culture war?"
