Tomorrow's Headline:

Democrats call on President Bush to pardon Wenyi Wang!
...question her charges.

[TChris]

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

And, in our "land of the tolerant and home of the multicultural", its vital that we toss our precious liberties at the first sign of discomfort from a communist dictator.

[jw777]

it's the other way around, but I'll let you slide since you don't know the difference.

[TomGuy]

She is being charged with breaking laws.

Breaking what law? She was given press credentials. She went to a microphone open for journalists. Rather than ask a question, she made a statement.

What law did she break? Embarrassing the President? Embarrassing a foreign dignitary?

[Labyrinthos]

The woman was wrong...

What law did she violate?

[ovrtaxt]

lol thanks. I'll let the history and the reader decide...

[jw777]

The Law Decides.

"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."

Well how do you explain Bush's postion on illegal immigrants? How is that they can break the law but ol Bushy never mentions that? They are only immigrants like you and me not lawbreakers, right?

Its disgusting that they would charge this woman. Bush is really showing the leftest that he is. Im sure there will be more to come.

Title 18 USC, Sec. 112. Protection of foreign officials, official guests, and internationally protected persons is the statute most frequently being discussed with regards to this incident. It's noteworthy that the very statute includes the verbiage:

(d) Nothing contained in this section shall be construed or applied so as to abridge the exercise of rights guaranteed under the first amendment to the Constitution of the United States.

Yep we sure live in a Free Country. Every Foreigner on the Planet can have free expression here, have the red carpet thrown out for them, be given jobs, free health and dental care, welfare, what have you.

Let one Citizen say something not politically correct and god help you arse.

This is NOT the America I remember and it damn sure isn't the America I want to die in.

Whoever made this decision to prosecute this woman should him or herself be thrown into jail for gross stupidity.

[msnimje]

President Bush is the one pursuing charges against her? Not the law enforcement officers of the jurisdiction in which she allegedly broke a law?

[brytlea]

Certainly he could suggest that they not.

[ovrtaxt]

Ask the Founding Fathers about that. Or ML King for that matter.

[ovrtaxt]

sweet!

[msnimje]

Bush has the power to call off the prosecution with little more than a snap of his fingers...

He most certainly CAN NOT! That may be how it works in China but in this country no man, not even the president, is above the law.

That is why people in the family of presidents are charged with crimes if they break the law.

[abigailsmybaby]

Yeah, but THOSE protestors were hispanic. BIG difference it seems.

[NCLaw441]

You know, you folks are right. This lady should not be punished for interrupting an official state visit and disrupting the speech of the president and Commie Hu. Never mind she had a press pass, meaning she was authorized to cover the event, not participate in it. She has First Amendment rights.

Of course, next time the President wants to speak somewhere, he should just let his opponents take the stage or speak over him. And when he gives his next state of the union address, it isn't important that he be heard, just let the dems shout him down. Maybe Cindy Sheehand could bring her bullhorn and drown out the president.

Or, next time a college group gets permission to put up an anti-abortion display, please don't deny a professor's right to trash the display so she can exercise her First Amendment rights.

[Doe Eyes]

I may be confused, but didn't you say Alberto Gonzales?

[brytlea]

Thank you for that.

[jazusamo]

Well how do you explain Bush's postion on illegal immigrants?

I'm not trying to explain anything about illegal immigration or whether this woman broke a law. I'm merely saying the laws on the books should be enforced, all laws. I believe there are laws about illegal immigrants that are not being enforced but I'm not arguing it.
