They are filthy liars, yes.

But even filthy, lying, Algore supporters have a right to free speech, even if it is of the worst kind.

Otherwise, tea partiers could be shut down for imagined “hate speech” simply on the say-so of, for instance, “witnesses” Nancy Pelosi and the CBC who lyingly alleged “racism” and “spitting” outside the Capitol.

If we have to err, it’s better to do it on the side of freedom.

(Clearly, slander, incitement to riot, etc. are NOT protected but that was not at issue in the Snyder case.)

Actually, I always err on the side of free speech. Always. (I am one of the few that say you should be able to burn the flag).

But I think this cult makes their money off lawsuit abuse. Now it seems to me that should be reined in somehow. Remember the laundry in DC that were sued for millions because they lost someone’s pants? That’s the kind of thing they do.
