What are your views on this?

The guy is a flake, but I don't see what laws he broke. I wonder if Bush's name was used instead, that there would be such a big deal.

My take is that we're supposed to have free speach in this country, but more and more we're being censored to not "offend" anyone.

This is almost as bad as not being able to fly because of a t-shirt.

Interesting.... attention getting.... What's the problem here? Oh... that's right. This guy's First Amendment rights were violated.

I can appreciate the concept, though I think people maybe hoped they were real assassinations.

Funny you should mention that. I was going to post this in that thread, but decided to start a new one. Apparently the "PC Police" are alive and well in this country too.
