The government is always looking for a way to control the people ( John Dingle, democrat, michigan ) “It took a long time to find a way to control the people.”...He said this about obamacare..do you really want to give an asshole like this the power to regulate your speech?

Dingle is definitely a tyrant and sociopath, like many Leftists. But there are exeptions to the speech citizens can impose on each other and I think this is one of them. Once it becomes speech directed towards politicians, I think anything goes.

"What do you mean by "listen to the Supreme Court"?"
I mean that the supreme court has made a decision based upon constitutional law. 8 out of 9 justices were in the majority. Hell, even the damn libs can see this is a first amendment issue. What I meant is that I will listen to them long before I listen to you, or anyone else that attempts to restrict my constitutional rights. As for the horsewhipping, wellll, shame on you ( wink,wink )

She NEVER thinks ahead of how the Left would use such a ruling against her “offensive” speech and tea party protestors.

She is stupid. She is. Admit. She’s dumb.

You’re not going to be the tiny hole in the dam that brings it crashing down, if that’s what you’re thinking.

(And another little thing you seem to have missed: Palin’s statement was true. It wasn’t a statement about the first amendment.)

I'm sorry. Your entire comment is ironic. That's as polite a way as I can put it.

She never said that she agrees with the ruling.

Read what she said.

Not the title and not just the first part of what she said.

What a bunch of idiots some freepers are- she SAID NOTHING REGARDING HER NOT BACKING FREE SPEECH!!!!!! some of the freepers need to get a clue. Now that is said, Sarah needs to clarify her tweet so the Paulbots and Romneybots and other fools here can be shutup

Sorry, Sara, the First Amendment cannot be used as a battering ram against common sense and decency. I don’t believe that lines cannot be drawn which respect the rights of the grieving. I’m with Sarah on this one, and y’know, critics called Reagan “dumb” and “stupid”. I hope you change your tune when she’s the only thing standing between Obama and total destruction of our nation. Palin/Rubio ‘12! Bob

Sorry, but your mental capcity and abilty to forsee consequences of your actions is only exceeded by Sarah Palen and her reform of Alaska government which forced her to resign through legal harassment.

Don’t talk to me about the need for any more police state governing over “hate speech.” You fool! Read a little. You are a freaking reactive robot.

You don’t know what the H*ll you are talking about! Sarah didn’t say anything about limiting free speech nor said that she disagreed with the Supreme Court!

STOP reading headlines ONLY and read actually what she said for a chance!

Your comment is stupid and doesn't follow from anything that I said.

Document where I said one word about regulating speech.

You are a complete idiot.

Yes. I know. Please chalk up my response to frustration at the total lack of civility on the part of those who always get a free ride from the press.

I know Palin means well, but she really needs to vet her comments before publishing.

Oooooh you told me, Chief.

You either believe in what the Constitution says or you don’t. And it is crystal clear on the right to free speech. Unless you also believe in restricting Second Ammendment rights.

Sara, you are a nut to respond to me like that. You have no heart, AND no brain if you believe that the rights of families can be be superceded by insane crackpots during a funeral. I don’t care if only Alito agrees with me. Bob

The last thing we need is another scripted candidate, Catfish. I find her willingness and ability to intelligently speak off the cuff refreshing for a politician. Bob

What lacks common sense is the incorporation doctrine, not only was the whole propose of the “bill of rights” to limit the Federal government not the States.

The 1st amendment specifically spells out congress not just any legislator!

As if that wasn’t bad enough the same Federal employees in black-robes that overthrown the limits of the Federal Constitution, broke their own rules in inventing this doctrine. They had previously rejected this crazy unsupportable idea not once but twice.

It is perfectly reasonable for the Federal government to be prohibited by the 1st amendment in the broadest possible terms. The Federal Governments job is basically just foreign objects. They don’t deal with domestic issues and they were never suppose to.

It is NOT necessarily reasonable to apply them same broad restrictions to the States.

This incident is just the latest example of why.

Fair enough, LL. But it’s easy to see, with the Wisconsin fiasco, that pukes can easily put elected representaives in a strait jacket by exercising their own “freedom of speech” in a boisterous way. I’m embarrassed that the GOP has allowed their state capitol to become trashed by human garbage. Bob
