<I am not sure how seriously you can take than from any supporter of Saddam dictatorship.>

Although I see that you posted a retraction I would just like to say that comments like that are the reason I posted the article. I just can't believe that the one thing that Americans value most (freedom of speech) has been flushed down the toilet as of late. Since when has an opposing view become criminal or a sign of support for a despot? America has become a cesspool of conservative only thought. If you are not towing the conservative party line that you must be unpatriotic or maybe even a domestic terrorist.


Here, here!

Of late, freedom of speech has become decidedly unAmerican! Its very disturbing......Abraham Lincoln is rolling over in his grave.

gw,

I think you may be confusing a question of freedom of speech for people like Tim Robbins to say what he wants, with freedom of private organization to choose what speech they they provide platform for - or their freedom of speech.

Both freedoms exist, and neither is under attack.
