Free Speech Against the Iraqi Debacle Attacked

A Sacramento couple has decided to demonstrate their anti-war stance by placing, not an effigy as the news calls it, but a dummy soldier's body, against their house with a sign on its neck sayin "Bush lied, I died" and outraged people tore it down.

The couple put up another one and the FOX40 Soldier Effigy has been Stolen... Again.

The guy I saw interviewed on the news was an idiot who said that they shouldn't be allowed to display such a hateful message on their home and they should leave. The guy had no concept of what the First Amendment is about and didn't care, he didn't like seeing open dissent for this illegal and unwinnable holy war of ShrubCo.

I hope they videotape one of these self proclaimed vigilantes, who are the only ones breaking any laws, and have them arrested and prosecuted for vandalism, theft and trespassing. These people have a right, called the First Amendment, to say what they want to say regardless of whether the Intolerians want to to hear it. Its not their choice to muzzle or allow speech as they see fit.

It would be nice if these idiots would remember that.
