Janice, MAC_Obsession, I'm sorry but I think they may need some clarification.
First of all, its not the bush administration or FOX that is biased. I could very easily say you are brainwashed by the extream left. I have yet to find CNN, NBC, ABC etc to find anything "balanced" and not skewed. Fox at least has some form of balance and the left hates it because wow, george bush might do something GOOD once? Wow. What a concept.
2nd of all, if you dont like any of what I just said, then stop bitching about it and do something other than whine. Go out and protest, send out petitions, quit your job and do every damn thing you can if you feel that strongly about it. I bet you won't. WHY? I'll tell you why, you dont want to quit your job because you need money. No you don't. The government will take care of you. You dont want to because it's too much work? Then thats being lazy. You don't have enough time? Then make the time. If you feel that strongly then DO SOMETHING other than doing what your doing now. What is a message board going to do? Absolutely nothing. They read your post, delete it or ignore it.
Now, since I have exercised my freedom of speech to tell you what I think. I will tell you what qualifies as freedom of speech. Anything. Heres the next trick though. YOU HAVE NO RIGHT to be offended. It is not protected under bill of rights. You can be offended but its not your right to be. You have the right of free speech, a fair trial, to petition, free press and free religion. Nowhere does it say you have the right to be offended. ALSO, you have free speech you can say whatever you want, and if it's considered slanderous, under law you can be sued. West was recorded, its all over TV. Its in News papers. I *COULD* be considered slanderous.
SO let me end this by saying, he had his right to throw his little tantrum. He's an american citizen and is protected under the law of the U.S. NOW with that, he also has to suffer the consequences. Yup so if people loose respect for him thats ok, if people want to call him a dumb ass thats fine, if they want to call him ignorant, rude and crass, thats fine as well-because thats the reaction to his free speech moment and others are having their free speech moment. He'll suffer the reprocutions.
SO-in short- I am OFFENDED by your picture. I have great respect for anybody who holds office in the Presidency. Do I have a right? No. Am I allowed to? Yes.
Unless I can find some legal way to get that picture removed I have no legal case against it.
Freedom of Speech- that would be me saying something like this, " I think your ignorant because you only listen to one side of the story in which CNN spouts off instead of doing your homework and looking it up from at least 3 different unbiased sources."
I'm protected under the law of the constitution.
Now, to suffer your own reprocutions for calling people nazi's without giving me referrances to make you believe they are that is *UNBIASED* is uncalled for and just as crass. It is ignorant and just flat out rude. I have no idea how you decided in your infinate wisdom that a topic based on how to help Katrina's victims somehow got to bashing bush. But then again thats what rude people do. They can't just say, " Well shit happened now lets go fix it" no they can't. WHY? They are too lazy to do a damn thing about it. SO while your sitting there whining about how horrible your life is because you didnt get what you want in the election or what happened with Katrina or with what happened with Kayne West there are people who are out there who gave up their jobs to support Kerry and the democratic party, people who are taking time off work to help the victims and people who have already written and called and I'm sure West is hearing about it now.
So quite frankly, now that I've calmed down a bit, and you needed to hear this-next time you spout shit off like that you will know a lot of people dont pay you any attention because they know you are doing nothing to solve the problem.
OH and just for future ref.
This is the OFF TOPIC ----> Chatter FORUM but with the topic name being Help for Hurricain Katrina Victims.
Not lets call everyone nazi's.
