I agree that they have the right to say what ever they want. But here's the thing. Do we allow radical Islamist to use the very protections our democracy affords to destroy that democracy by inciting their cult members to violence?

The same should apply to liberals who use the freedoms our democracy affords to attempt to destroy it. They should be held accountable for every word they utter, and every plot they engage in to bring this nation and it's institutions down.

CBS and Dan Rather will be a good test of holding liberals accountable for their actions. It was a mistake that democrats were allowed to walk free on their attempted election theft in 2000. Because we ignored terrorism we suffered the attack on the marine barracks, the damage and loss of life on the Cole, the embassy bombings, and ultimately the attack on the Trade Center.

Because we ignored the attempted election theft of 2000, the liberals at CBS were emboldened to attempt to slur the President using phony documents. At some point the free passes have to stop and the purveyors of these outrages called before the judge.

This Isn't the first time Dan Rather and the producers of 60 Minutes showed their liberal bias.

In 1988 Dan Rather aired a segment in which he interviewed 8 "Vietnam Vets". These "Vetrans" proceeded to say the same things that John Kerry did in 1972. They accused our soldiers of horrable war crimes.

However, after the show aired, it was discovered that their was absolutley NO record of these 8 people being in Vietnam EVER. They were imposters.

I don't disagree with you at all, that's why I said "as long as they are not plotting sedition"...

We ALMOST have the right to way whatever we want. But did you know, a LIE is NOT protected speech under the Constitution? An opinion is, but that is different. It has to be stated that it is an opinion. Dan Rather stated it as an "un-empeachable" fact. We are not protected when we call or inspire or provoke violence. We can not yell Fire in a crowded theater. In fact, during a time of war, declared or simply acted upon, we can not even legally say anything to aid an enemy. It is called Sedition.
