How did you get such a strange idea? Bush gets heckled all the time and he doesn't arrest people for it.

Exactly my point at the beginning of this thread. Lib nutcases get a pass under the First Amendment, this woman doesn't.

I guess the President really meant it when he signed McCain/Feingold too, huh? If that's the case, I suppose you're taking a wise position, looking ahead to the day when Freepers are arrested for expressing our opinions too.

Your contention that saying 'your days are numbered' is a threat is stratospherically stupid. She obviously was speaking as a representative of Falun Gong to the Communist regime. It wasn't a personal threat, but a prediction of Communism's failure. You know it and so does the Justice Dept.

Well I strongly disagree with you. Words mean things. That is except to Clintonians. You like the woman's politics so you wish to give her a pass. She publicly threatened a head of state and was arrested. She'll get her day in court. We do not have absolute freedom of speech.
