They certainly have a right to protest, assemble peaceably, etc. They have no right to be heard or taken seriously, though.

Sure they have a right to protest. But lets think about the ramifications for a moment. At a point where we're on high alert those protestors caused so much trouble that we had to remove the very people on alert for terrorism so they could baby sit a bunch of protestors. It was the Anti War people who stated we would see more terrorism and yet they would increase that very risk by sapping the resources we have for protection just because they can't behave? I'm sorry but thats not consistent

They have a right to protest. An absolute right of free speech in this country. I salute them. And I have an absolute right to choose where to spend my money. It sure as hell is not going to be going to pay for Dixie Chicks CDs or tickets to see the latest George Clooney movie. Not buying Michelin tires anymore either. Edit: I'd already crossed Michael Moore off my list well before he opened his fat pie hole at the Academy Awards.

They have a right to protest. An absolute right of free speech in this country. Exactly. Just as RB has the right to label their actions as he sees them.....

they may have the right to say whatever they want but we have the right not to like it and not to pay them money I suggest you start a support group for dixie chicks - it is your right, you know

<< They have a right to protest. An absolute right of free speech in this country. >> The antiFreedom, Hollywood traitors have to learn that free speech isn't free. It was paid for by the blood of America's finest. But, wait a minute. The cost of free speech just went up, and, once again, America's finest are in a foreign land, paying the high price for freedom with their lives and their limbs; so that people like me have the freedom of speech to tell those antiFreedom, Hollywood traitors to go screw themselves! Thanks, American soldiers in Iraq, for protecting my right to say that. From the Boycott Hollywood Website: "Will we go see or support ONE movie or television project by these people? HELL NO --- WE WON'T GO!!" boycott-hollywood.us
