    Wait, so this isn't a big deal because a couple of yahoos were hanging Sarah Palin figurines in effigy?

    Printing an ad in a newspaper calling for the assassination of the President is OK? Really?

    Don't overreact. He/she wasn't calling for it...just hoping for it.

    The acceptance of this ad may show how desperate newspapers are for income.

    Then again, why do we have to have two threads on this subject?

    That's a pretty fine line.

    If we respected free speech in this country half as much as we claim to, it's a line the law would respect.
