I'm glad my point has been well taken by someone.

The thinking that spawns these types of speech restrictions (i.e. don't criticize the powers-that-be) is the same type that came up with the anti-free speech provisions of McCain & Feingold's campaign finance legislation.

You remember -- the one Congress was going to stop. No, wait. I meant the President. Whoops. I meant the Supreme Court. Hey, wait a second.........
