There is a difference between liberals and Stalinists, that’s for sure. Barely, in some cases, but I think all honest liberals would probably be on the right side of this. I think Chris is right about dirty, stinky hippies, but this is America they can be dirty and stinky if they want to be. And they can burn all the flags and say all the mean things about the POTUS that they want. This isn’t Europe, we have free speech here. Whether or not many folks will want to associate with their patchouli-smelling, hemp wearing, unbathed asses is another matter entirely. Do I hear freedom of association anyone? HUZZAH!

Yep. That’s it, Chris. I’m stepping outside the law here and I’m rejecting your mission statement. I’m also defunding you of your imaginary “everytime” dollars.

Dear Chris: My Schwinn Suburban with baskets and personalized license plate resents that comment. I shower more than some conservatives I know. I am a liberal and yet I’m on the Commentator’s side of this circus (as are many other “filthy liberals” who happen to shower daily. I propose some some more thoughtful and less prejudiced comments. Though, it is just a suggestion…I won’t stifle your speech or anything.

If I had a dollar for everytime some filthy liberal cried “free-speech” while burning the flag or hurling hate-filled comments towards the president, then rode their shitty bike to a rally to protest “hate-speech” I would have enough dollars to buy a whole lot of OE 40’s. The hypocrisy from these ingrates is getting so, so old. Fuck ‘em. Free the OC!

If you guys haven’t seen it yet, here’s a link to a Portland Vanguard editorial about all of this:

This whole chain of events resembles a sub-plot from Animal House.

Shouldn’t the OC be hosting a Toga Party (or some reasonable facsimile)the night before the next hearing?

As Colin Powell once said “Free speech is intended to protect the controversial and even outrageous word; and not just comforting platitudes too mundane to need protection.” Or, to quote John Milton, “Give me the liberty to know, to utter, and to argue freely according to conscience, above all liberties.” –Prof. Bainbridge.

Have you guys tried filing a grievance with the Con Court yet? I’m sure you could get a ruling before your next budget meeting.. not that it would do any good seeing as PFC doesn’t even recognize the authority of the U.S. Supreme Court, but hey it could add to all the zany fun.

Oh, and I gotta say, that whole Dan Kieffer admitting on record that he’s breaking Southworth during government proceedings (”I’m unable to say anything viewpoint-neutral…”) probably won’t help their case much should this thing make it to a lawsuit. I can almost feel sorry for them.. no, wait, no I can’t.
