BK>>>> I believe in freedom of speech, even when I don't agree with
 BK>>>> what is said, which puts me one freedom up on the Tea Party.

 JM>>> Then why do you ban people from your echos for what they say?

 BA>> Because he owns them and can do anything he bloody well pleases in them.

 JM> I know he owns them and can do anything he bloody well

 JM> what they say while at the same time falsely claiming to
 JM> defend freedom of speech.

 Do you defend the right to shout theatre at a crowded fire?

 Do you believe all libel laws should be repealed?

 Would you want to punch out someone who called a woman you cared
 about a whore?

 Your apparent interpretation of "Freedom of Speech" implies you
 should say yes to the first two and no to the third.
