1st amendment rights are very important, but it doesn't include turning town hall meetings into total chaos, does it? Do conservative Christian Republicans have the right to disorderly conduct? Talking to each other can solve problems, yelling at each other just causes anger and digging in your heels. The republicans lost power in Washington, and I would suggest if they want some back (in 3.5 years) they calm down and act reasonable! Rush comparing Obama to the Nazis? I suppose if you see the military moving towards taking over Canada and Mexico, putting opposition to the firing squad, then killing 6 million+ people, then you can make a comparison!

I used the F word in front of a police officer in Chesnee SC and he told me he could take me to jail for that. I shut my mouth, did some research and found profanity is not 'speech' and is not protected. Yet, no one is being carted off to jail for this behavior.

Remember this? A couple arrested for wearing anti-Bush T-shirts to the president's July 4 appearance at the West Virginia Capitol filed a federal lawsuit yesterday alleging their First Amendment rights were violated.
Nicole and Jeff Rank were removed from the event in handcuffs after revealing T-shirts with President Bush's name crossed out on the front. Nicole Rank's shirt had the words "Love America, Hate Bush" on the back and Jeff Rank's had "Regime change starts at home" on the back.
