He simply stated, "There ought to be limits to freedom."
Can you provide us with a cite for this?
i remember when he said this, it was notable since it was obvious he was a big-business, 'compassionate' conservative. Still better than gore and electable as well, but no illusions.
I believe he said this about the GWBush.com web site, which is now gone.
Just Google it. It's been all over the net for years. He made the comment about a web site that was mocking him.
As you can see, a cite has already been provided, although this is a long been a well-established fact which really doesn't require a cite.
What the article in the link provided by SwinneySwitch didn't explain was what Bush tried to do to get the site shut down.
In addition to threatening a copyright infringement lawsuit for using photos and images off the 'official' Bush campaign web site, Bush filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission, asserting that the site's owner had violated election laws by not registering as a political committee, and urged that the site's "fair market value" put the endeavor well over the $1000 threshold that defines a political (action) committee under election law.
It was only after the FEC told Bush to go pound sand that he uttered his famous phrase showing exactly what his opinion is on the freedoms we enjoy --he thinks we have too much freedom.
Instead of using private means to resolve his dispute, such as buying out the domain's owner or suing in civil court, Bush tried to sic the federal government on the site's owner and have him labeled as a PAC.
