rofl. How embarrassing.

Using this logic, one could falsely claim any advanced degree on a resumé as ‘free speech’.

water board member Xavier Alvarez

[bajabaja]

A non-Marine, so not semper fi, but semper fib.

[Da Coyote]

Gads, does this fit.
Liberal - check.
San francisco - check.
Cooperation of a sleazy lawyer - check.
Not even close to a military hero - check.
Hmmm, save for the San Francisco part, sounds suspiciously like a certain Massachusetts senator. Perhaps we should also check whether this clown has C average in college.

[Larry Lucido]

Yeah, and that million dollar check I passed off the other day is also “free speech.”

[CPOSharky]

As Supreme Ultimate Emperor of Earth, I hearby sentance Alverez to... (wait for it) ...water boarding.

(Hey Alverez, I can claim to be whatever I want to be, right?)

A lot of this goes on and it is symptomatic of illnesses running through society. We are being victimized by the sociopaths because our “leaders” are afraid to stand up for values, indeed imho even the conservative politicians have no values.

It takes a special kind of creep to publicly lie about military service in this way.

[ontap]

I wonder if anyone has bothered to check his legal status. It is southern Kalifornia you know!

[Right Wing Assault]

Perjury is free speech.

[PeterPrinciple]

To a liberal lying is free speech because there is no higher authority.

[bill1952]

Hey, it just one step from "fake but accurate."

Now its "fake, but inaccurate."

I do believe that liberal trash can think that this is okay. - Why not?

[ml/nj]

The motion argues that the Stolen Valor Act of 2005, under which water board member Xavier Alvarez was charged, is incompatible with the First Amendment because it restricts free speech by criminalizing false claims of military honors.

This story cannot be real!

Of course, the story fails to mention the party affiliation of this "elected representative." Hmmm. Let met guess.

*water board* member Xavier Alvarez

Water board? Gives me an idea regarding his punishment.

[Don Corleone]

Its Kalifonia, what do you expect?

[ICE-FLYER]

Hmmm, a Water Board member who should get the waterboard treatment for this kind of gross selfserving medal devaluing lie!!

[Redbob]

He knows the Ninth Circus will no doubt agree with him...

[pelicandriver]

Following his argument, all truth in advertising laws would be unconstitutional also.

[Joan Kerrey]

he was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor for his deeds as a Marine.

That ain’t nothin. I got 4 of them. WWI, WWII, Korea and VietNam. I have so many medals I have to pin them on the back of my uniform now.

[MissEdie]

What a maroon!! What’s worse is that there are people out there dumb enough to vote for this scumbag!
