Jim, re:Free speech is not allowed? Didn't Trent Lott get that same lesson - hate speech from elected officials is not considered free speech. Maybe Moran and Lott can swap stories of how the Black man is working with the Jew to take America down. <g>

<Free speech is not allowed? > Nope. Not even the Dixie Chicks can speak their minds in this environment LOL... story.news.yahoo.com Dixie Chicks Pulled from Air After Bashing Bush Fri Mar 14, 6:06 PM ET Add Entertainment - Reuters/Variety Music to My Yahoo! By Jon Herskovitz DALLAS (Reuters) - There are a lot worse things in country music than your wife leaving you or your dog dying. There's stations not playing your music because you done gone and said some things against the president. Music superstars the Dixie Chicks (news - web sites) are finding out that criticizing President Bush (news - web sites)'s plans for war in Iraq (news - web sites) can cost you air play, big time. Country stations across the United States have pulled the Chicks from playlists following reports that lead singer Natalie Maines said in a concert in London earlier this week that she was "ashamed the president of the United States is from Texas." Station managers said their decisions were prompted by calls from irate listeners who thought criticism of the president was unpatriotic.

>Seems there was a congressional vote in favor of Israels tactics a while back that would support what Sharon said. This Dem learned a hard lesson. >Free speech is not allowed? It's not that free speech isn't allowed... it's just that he was plain wrong. Polls indicate that Jews in this country are just as divided over the war as everyone else, and about half of the Jews that I know support the war (most of them conservatives or neo-cons), and about half are against it (most of them liberals). -Z
