Democrats speak crap

We always new they were full of it, now a judge has certified it.

Now that this judge has set the precedent, one should be able to throw a fire hose through the doors of congress and fill it with water as an expression of free speech. Unless it only applies to using dog crap.

Hysterics! Hysterics! The Republic is falling!!! Oh my god!....

This is perhaps the lamest stretch at tarring all non-Republicans I've seen in a while. First, anyone who puts dog poo in an envelope is a nutter, regardless of political party. Anyone who then delivers said envelope to the vestibule of an elected official is whacko. And anyone who reports the "incident", which is at best a lame prank, is taking himself too seriously, IMO.

I don't trust articles like this. One thing strikes me as untrue right in the first sentence: "A jury in northeastern Colorado has ruled that a pile of dog doo left in the entrance of the office of U.S. Rep. Marilyn Musgrave, R-Colo., was protected political speech, acquitting a critic of the congresswoman who admitted dumping the load." Whether or not certain acts are free speech is a question of law. Questions of law are not interpreted by a jury, but are decided by a judge. I doubt the writer made up the fact that a jury trial had taken place, but the jury likely decided a different issue (i.e., whether the defendant was guilty of violating a certain statute, not whether or not certain speech was protected by the 1st Amendment).
