As a conservative, I have to disagree. Liberals know all to well what free speech is. Haven't you noticed that they never shut the frig up?

Do you even understand the word liberal? The conservatives are the ones who are trying to shut down all free speech. They want total control of the media. Free speech can hurt the "Right". It's the "Left" that wants you to speak your mind about openess. Not just the jibberish that the Bush Nazi's want you to think.

when your free speech interferes with other's right to dignity, it is not free speech, simply free bashing.. . you can't spread hatred and call it free speech.. it's just free hatred.

uh... cite what you're referring too... I keep up with the news fairly closely, with many different sources and I've never seen anything to back up what you're saying... . . BUSH IS OVER THE FCC... IT'S A GOVERNMENT AGENCY... REPUBLICANS HAVE A MAJORITY... BUSH AND REPUBLICANS AREN'T LIBERAL... AND TRADITIONALLY CONSERVATIVES HAVE PUSHED FOR REGULATIONS? . . where is the confusion? Tell me where I'm wrong?. I'm not saying that no "liberal" ever has... but I'm saying I think you can blame it on the conservatives as much as you can the liberals, historically speaking...
