An anderer Stelle wird dem redefreudigen Meyer als Held gehuldigt. Meyer habe für etwas gekämpft, wofür schon die Gründerväter der Vereingten Staaten eingetreten seien, heißt es im Forum der Seite "Democratic Underground": Redefreiheit, Meinungsfreiheit. "Gott schütze Andrew Meyer, einen wahren amerikanischen Patrioten."

At another place the talkative Meyer renders homage to an hero. Meyer "fought for somewhat, for which already the founder fathers of the U.S fought", is written in the forum of the site "Democratic Underground": Free speech, liberty of opinion. "God protects Andrew Meyer, a true American Patriot."

"Spiegel" is on of the best political magazines in Germany.

4. It is a rather critical article

about Meyer. I found it interesting that with all those different threads about Meyer they picked that one.

Just makes us look KOOKY......

2. might it be okay for each of us in our own way to express our outrage

at this fascist government? You do it your way, I do it mine, Meyer, Moveon, etc. do it theirs...we are all on the same side here (I hope).

6. I am not commenting on that text

I just let you know.

Yes, everybody has the right to express oneself the way he/she wants. For me the question is, if Meyer used the police to get attention. I don't argue his right of free speech.

9. Abbie Hoffman and Jerry Rubin make this guy look like vanilla pudding

either you weren't born yet or you have forgotten what real protesters look like..and one of the points is to show how crazy some of these cops act. That is what Hoffman did at the Chicago Convention in 1968 and the world finally saw..

3. That is cool.

5. Too bad they took that DU post headline seriously.

I read that thread, and I think it was meant to be snarky.

[MissHoneychurch]

7. They should have read all the other threads as well

maybe I should let them know I am part of that forum and that there were a million others threads on that topic. I haven't read through the "patriotic" thread so I don't know about it.
