(Warning: Profanity ahoy) I guess I shouldn't be surprised.

The wastes of life who frequent Free Republic are usually scum sucking molluscs beneath my notice.

But in idly perusing their "headlines" today, I came across these fucksticks crowing over the removal of Whoopi Goldberg from the Slimfast website, supposedly owing to a Rethuglican boycott of their parent company's products owing to remarks she apparently made about the Preznit.

For the curious, the link is here.

These microphallic losers are calling whatever it was she said hate speech. Right. Apparently that's hate speech and what some psychotic freak of a Lieutenant Colonel said about Iraq being a holy war (somebody want to help me with a link about this or something) isn't hate speech. That's right up there with Orrin "Booby"Hatch whining about activist judges when his lord and master Shrubya appoints anti-abortion judges who actually still believe in the domination of the male over the female. That's okay, y'see.

If anybody on my friends list is someone who actually thinks that speaking out against the president is treasonous, if you actually believe that we shouldn't by God open our mouths in dissent, if you honestly consider these things wrong - then take me not only off your friends list, but I say this with utter conviction - I pity you.

You see, unless Reichsfuhrer Ashcroft managed to get the Sedition Act reactivated without my hearing about it, I have not only a moral and patriotic duty to say how I feel, it is my absolute duty to do so as a proud American.

I will NOT shut up.

I will NOT back down.

I will NOT let these pieces of filth make my country over in their in their narrow, hate filled, penny ante bullshit image.

I will NOT.

My name is Clay Evans, and I am a by God American. Don't like it? Do something about it, bitch, because I WILL lay the smackDOWN on your candy ass IF YA SMELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL what the DOC.. IS.. COOKIN'!

Amen, brother! I think our "side" needs more loud-mouthed, bull-headed Americans who refuse to be bullied into complacency.

Fuck the Man.

While I agree on your viewpoints, I am severely offended by your wanton use of profanity.

How thoughtful of those nice people at Free Republic to provide us a link so we can email Slim-Fast...

...your name is Clay Evans?

I hope you can hear me shouting my support from the Western Slope of the Rockies.

I want you to know that your political posts inspire me. Even though I have always felt the way you do, I had done very little about it apart from voting and writing the occasional letter. In the past 6 months or so, you have challenged me to stand up and speak out for this country that I love and against the real terrorists: Bush, Cheney, Ashcroft and Rumsfeld (the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse). Never before have I had such a vested interest in the future of this great nation and never before have I kept such a close eye on the primaries, the polls, and the rhetoric from both sides.

I now live in a highly conservative area. Kerry's going to have a tough time winning Colorado. However, I have committed myself to ensuring his success here and kicking that cocksucker, W, out of office and as far away from Washington as possible. It's my duty to help show Georgy Porgy the door, not with grace and humility, but with pride, vigor and alacrity.

Thanks again.

Cheers!

The most basic freedom in a free country is to voice disapproval of those who "govern" us...when you lose that,you lose liberty and freedom...and as i've said many times, Republicans and rightwingers can dish it out but cannot take it.
Keep speaking out Doc,i enjoy your LJ and agree with you on just about everything :)

Well said, dammit!!

I've always thought that expressing dissent is intrinsically American. So are boycotts, and threatening them. And so is cheering a successful one.

Were Whoopi's comments hate speech? I neither know nor care. They were crude and perhaps obscene, but I don't care about that either. When someone uses the phrase "hate speech," it's often as a prelude to suggesting that certain types of speech shouldn't be protected, and anyone who believes that simply doesn't believe in free speech, no matter what they say. And you're right that the term "hate speech" is rather selectively offensive - and not just for the pro-Bush crowd, either.

This isn't a free speech issue, however. No one has a right to keep a job as a corporate sponsor, and Unilever was certainly within its rights in responding to the economic influence of offended (existing and potential) customers.

"To announce that there must be no criticism of the president, or that we are to stand by the president right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public."

Yes, but how do you really feel? Geez, don't sugar-coat it. ;)

I've made forays into Freeperville before. I usually feel the need to shower afterwards. *shudder*

umm... as something I didn't realise was going to rub me the wrong way... could you not use microcephalic as an insult?
