I know you are, but what am I :P
Not to long ago I posted about media calling for the assassination of obama.
Now I come across this one about a radio host calling out for the murder of an anti-war protestor. What really made my jaw drop was the guy who called for said murder, went on to call the protestor a traitor. Which is very strange, due to the fact that the moment the radio host called out for someone to kill the guy, he actually became the traitor.
If the very foundation of this country (NOT GOVERNMENT) is the CONSTITUTION, like everyone claims, but does not practice, then free speech is like "thou shall not kill" is in the bible. Noam chomsky wrote something to the effect of "if you do not believe in free speech for someone you hate and despise, then you don't believe in it at all." Even though mr. chomsky is a tool, those words he said are about as true as truth gets.
A traitor in this country is a person who works against the rights this country was established on, as listed in the consitution. A person who calls out for the murder of of a person who is excercising their rights is in fact the REAL traitor.
I have even read of other stories, where on more than one occasion bush, or cheney, or mccain, aswell as other people, said basicly non american combatants had no constitutional rights. Yet go back to old news coverage of these same people and they say stuff like "these are rights that should be afforded to the world, not just americans".
