Freeped in front of the White Outhouse. The Freepers should also play an air alarm tape thru loudspeakers while CNN broadcasting.

That is hilarious also. Until 6 months or so ago, Chris Black was a "news" reporter for the Boston Globe, which I receive each morning. Her stock in trade was overwhelming liberal slant on every political news story. She absolutely hates republicans and will defend scum like Clinton to the death. That's why it wasn't surprising to see her callous face turn up on CNN as a "reporter".

Perhaps Chris Black should be charged like this dude! Saturday June 12 1:08 AM ET 'Cussing Canoeist' Guilty Of Cursing In Public STANDISH, Mich. (Reuters) - A Michigan jury Friday found the ''cussing canoeist'' guilty of violating an obscure 102-year old state law against swearing in public in front of children. Jurors deliberated less than one hour before ruling against Timothy Boomer, a 25-year old computer programmer from the Detroit area who prosecutors said yelled the ''f-word'' as many as 75 times after he fell out of his canoe on the remote Rifle River. However, Boomer's fiance and more than half a dozen of his friends also on the trip testified Friday that he may have said the ''f-word'' no more than two or three times and he didn't yell. The case attracted national attention, pitting free speech advocates against those who would stop offensive language. Boomer's lawyer William Street, an attorney with the American Civil Liberties Union, argued that his speech was covered by the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. ''We do not allow people in our country to be convicted of speech crimes to send some sort of message to someone else about somebody's beliefs and civility,'' Street said in closing arguments. ''It's a case about language, period.'' But prosecutor Richard Vollbach argued that while such language may be acceptable in New York or Los Angeles, the jury should decide whether they wanted that language in their small town, which is about 120 miles (190 km) north of Detroit. ''If repeatedly screaming the 'f-word' at least 25 times in front of your children isn't indecent or vulgar, what is,'' Vollbach said. dailynews.yahoo.com etc.
