I love the Rude Pundit...on free speech (warning, rude)

[bonzotex]

From the Rude Pundit:

He says it better but we need to protect the right of free speech as one of the few absolutes. No compromise. Unfortunately that means right wing shit-stains get free speech too.

<snip>
So it means you can't stand there and do a little happy jig when some rank little turd like talk radio jackass Michael Graham gets fired for something he said that doesn't violate any laws or putrid FCC regulations.

<snip>

Sometimes supporting freedom of speech is one fuck of a burden. Ask the ACLU (who, by the way, Graham criticized profusely like a good conservative nutzoid). Ya gotta be willin' to get down and dirty, into the shit and muck, willing to prop up that right for even the most odious fucks around.

But if you support it wholeheartedly, even for those you despise, you can feel free, free, so liberatedly free to say things like: "Fuck you, Pat Robertson, you squinty-eyed shitbag, so full of years of unmitigated hate and bile that it oozes out of you like pus from an untreated herpes sore. And fuck anyone who still buys that said bag of shit is anything even remotely related to Christianity and is gonna defend Robertson no matter what crazed nightmare vision of reality spews from him like vomit from a flu-ridden toddler. Like male dogs who suck their own balls to get little red hard-ons, you 700 Club fans want everyone to see your proud, slimy cocks, but, really, you're just blowin' yourself.

1. That's absolutely disgusting. I'm offended at the mention of that.

"That" being Pat Robertson;s name, of course.

2. LOL!!

And I agree - you gotta support free speech entirely, even for the shitbrained cokeheads of the right, or else it means nothing.

I don't think any speech should be illegal (except for the "yelling fire in a movie house when there isn't a fire" type stuff).

Even hate speech. Once it's illegal, then it becomes a powerful symbol for those who hold it dear.

3. I really do wish the Rude Pundit would stop holding back

why doesn't he/she just let fly - tells us what he/she REALLY feels ???

4. the piece beneath the one you mention is quite good also..

Caught In the Crossfire of the Iraq Circle Jerk:

So, like, do you think Deborah Johns would be proud if her Marine son William died to create another Iran? Opposed to Cindy Sheehan's now-interrupted vigil outside of Bush's Crawford ranch, Johns is one of the mothers of soldiers embarking on the "You Don't Speak For Me, Cindy" Tour (aka the "Tools Across the U.S.A" tour). The caravan will wind its way across the western U.S., from San Francisco to Crawford, with stops at the Doubletree Hotel in Bakersfield, where the brave right-wing supported caravaners can relax by the palm tree-lined pool, and the Dallas Hyatt Regency, with its multiple restaurants and amazing fitness center. That'll show Joan Baez she shouldn't join Cindy's followers in the ditches of Crawford.

But do you think Natalie Healy, who lost her son in Afghanistan but believes that the conflicts there and in Iraq are related, would be proud to know that Daniel, one of those missing Navy SEALS, died in a "larger" war that ensures the rise of a state that will enshrine the repression of women as part of its constitution? What about all the other anti-Sheehan mothers dug up by the media in a desperate attempt to offer "balance"? Do you think they wonder which conservative perversion of Islam will Iraq take? The Saudi Arabian track, where women can't drive or go much of anywhere without being accompanied by a male? Or what about the Taliban track, where girls can't even be schooled? And what about the veil? How insane will Iraq become to live up to the Islamic ideal that man is head of the household? Is this what you sacrificed your kids for? (And the Rude Pundit is not saying this to "attack" Islam - when wackjob fundamentalists try to impose Christian dogma on a government, he calls bullshit. And let's not even get into Israel.)

5. yeah...The Rude P is a must read

Sometimes his stuff is a little off, but when he's on! OMG! Very precious comic relief.

8. I Support Pat's Freedom of Speech

I support his right to make a jackass out of himself in front of the whole country! In fact, give him about an hour on national TV to rant! That will prove to everyone in the US that he's a raving lunatic.

9. lol

10. The RPundit always makes me smile. His stuff cuts right to the bone.

I particularly liked his take on the "I don't give a shit president" in regards to the snubbing of Cindy Sheehan.
