You know exactly what response you're going to get. Stop trying to defend the indefensible.

We are no better than the communists if we prosecute this woman for her voice. I don't care what cult she belongs to, it is BS that we deny freedom of speech when it comes to foreign dictators. Congress shall make no law blah blah blah.

[jazusamo]

I don't know that this lady broke the law but if she did I believe she should be prosecuted like any other lawbreaker should be. I think it's time to stop picking and choosing who should be prosecuted and who shouldn't. If a law is wrong, change it.

Didn't you know? The First Amendment is suspended when commies are visiting.

[ovrtaxt]

You're kidding right?

EVer hear of the FIRST AMENDMENT????

[ovrtaxt]

You have to 'save face' see. Free speech and save face are diametrically opposed.

[ProCivitas]

There's no way W. will allow Wenyi Wang to be prosecuted or held for any length of time. She said much of what he probably wanted to be said against the illegitimate communist/totalitarian regime currently occupying China.

It's encouraging that she spoke for so long to that audience.

[sgtbono2002]

Thats my point exactly. We let this ugly Mofro Sheehan get away and prosecute this lady. It just aint right.

[mthom]

If this is true it is damning.

[ishabibble]

It will probably all just fade away, IF it is handled discreetly. The woman was wrong, Commie Hu even more wrong to honor creepy Gates before meeting with the POTUS, but there is no way this woman will see any jail time for a internationally televised faux pas. Who is the only person who wants this to go away more than the protester?
George W. Bush.

p.s. I don't think the woman is wrong in her passion. Those evil Commies are killing people for profit, and that isn't going to stand for long with a Bush White House. The more information that comes out of Communist China, the more they will have to give concessions to the West.

[Elpasser]

I agree. I have read an excerpt of the relevant statute and doubt that it applies to mere loud speech directed at a foreign official in public. This is core first amendment.

[Doe Eyes]

So do you hold the President responsible for the actions of his staff?

[Revelation 911]

EVer hear of the FIRST AMENDMENT????

wasnt that some rule about 50 yrs ago where people had freedom of speech ?

thats way back, when people actually had guns in thier houses

[plain talk]

This is an emotional argument. She is being charged with breaking laws. Either she broke them or she didn't. That's what a court will decide. I think she personally threatened a head of state and think she should be held accountable for that. Whether it is for a good cause or not is irrevelant.

[jw777]

Stop trying to indict someone who has nothing to do with it.

[Prost1]

Why is this protester being arrested and yet Mary O McCarthy is still free.

Who did the greater harm?

[jw777]

Tell me which staff member is charging her!

[TomGuy]

It will probably all just fade away, IF it is handled discreetly.

Why should it have to be handled discreetly? That is diametrically counter to the foundation of this Nation.

[ovrtaxt]

weak. you're embarrassing yourself.

[jazusamo]

You're kidding right?

Nope, not kidding. If she broke a law, which I don't know if she did, she should be prosecuted. If we have a law that is contrary to the First Amendment, it's unconstitutional and should be thrown out.
