12. Me neither...I'm scared...I don't even put my union bumper stickers
on my car anymore...Hell, I drive a PT Cruiser and that's GOT to be a "lefty" car, right?...I'm no coward but I don't want some nut case trying to drive me off the road.

More to the point, though..I'm afraid for the president and for liberals generally....What I want to know is this: WHY do we have to "wait" for something to happen?, assuming that that is the case (I'm not as sure as some of you)....Yeah, I KNOW about the first amendment and such and Yes, I'm all for it...but WHEN does the hate speech become "legally actionable"?...Some of this shit sure seems like "incitement to violence", to me.

Note: The last time I asked this, a self-described First Amendment Absolutist here started treating me like the "enemy"....I'm not the frigging "enemy"...I just don't want to see this country with it's history of RW violence and assassination become a "country in waiting"...for something horrible to happen....I remember ALL of the Sixties assassinations and I would NEVER want our country to go through it again.
