"Dan Frazier, a businessman from Flagstaff, Ariz., holds a T-shirt that uses the names of dead soldiers to make an anti-war statement in his home office in this photo from Tuesday May, 15 2007. Anti-war T-shirts displaying the names of slain American service members are political speech protected by the First Amendment, a federal judge ruled Thursday Sept. 27, 2007. A U.S. District Judge temporarily blocked enforcement of a new Arizona state law that makes it a misdemeanor to sell items that use names of slain troops without permission of their families."
"Dan Frazier stands in front of racks of T-shirts that use the names of dead soldiers to spell out political messages, in his Flagstaff, Ariz., home office Tuesday, May 15, 2007. A federal judge on Thursday, Sept. 27, temporarily blocked criminal enforcement of a new Arizona law that bans sales of items that use names of troops killed in Iraq without permission of their families."
Moonbat scum makes money off the names of our fallen soldiers *ping*
This person has no sense of decency, and any gains from the blood of others should be ripped from his bowels.
This is fashion commerce, not “speech” or “art”.
People are permitted to paint ONE painting of Elvis on black velvet canvas, but when they are produced in volume, there is an infraction.
I’d think the same would apply here. You can make such a shirt in the singular but when you produce them in volume for commercial sale, you are trafficking on their names.
But turnabout is fair play.
Let’s draw up a shirt exposing the phony soldiers names and sell them from coast to coast. On the reverse put the Congressmen who voted to condemn Rush Limbaugh.
front:
PHONY SOLDIERS
BETRAY AMERICA
Jesse Macbeth - NEVER SERVED
...
reverse:
DID YOUR CONGRESSMAN
BETRAY AMERICA?
Harry Reid
Tom Harkin
...
“Please hit me until my left eye looks straight again!”
Just another war profiteer like Pelosi and her old man.
How is Bush’s lie responsible for car accidents, drownings, helicopter crashes, and a woman crossing the highway in Kansas?
The Left’s “Bush’s fault” death list is not a list of combat casualties. This is not to say these people didn’t die serving their country but they were included in the tally because it is far short of the 10,000s that they claimed we would be losing.
How many people died on base in America and other non-Iraq mission bases? Kuwait and German base deaths were included in this tally.
Bush Lied? Communists Lie. Always.
He looks cock-eyed. I thought that was Monica’s job.
The lack of brain cells by these moonbats defies description. Between "Bush lied", "Bush was selected, not elected", etc., etc., they have no life and no common sense.
The scary part is that they can put the Hildabeast in the White House, and they will have NO income when she eliminates free speech. If he had anti-Klintoon merchandise, the Judge would have shut him down in seconds.
Here he is in his regular garb:

If I ever meet that fool on the street,oneof us will NOT be happy.
I have a feeling you might make me happy.
Explicitly unconstitutional....
Or are you referring to the a$#hole's "free speech" rights?
Sounds like he's committing a "Hate Crime", but then, we'd have to create some protected class to use that one (the families of Heroes)?????.
Yeah....you could claim YOUR "Free Speech Rights" with that cattle prod !
Harry Reid is essentially trying to do the first.
You're suggesting the second -- "ex post facto" is just another way to say "retroactive."
Bubba retroactively raised taxes even on the dead.
I recall that.
