Dempsey, you’ve committed treason. We have something here called ‘Freedom of Speech’ and YOU more than ANYONE represent that freedom. FOOL.

Shove it up your ass general.

Did any General contact Andres Serrano and ask him to stop displaying Piss Christ?

We have something here called ‘Freedom of Speech’ and YOU more than ANYONE represent that freedom.Don't be ridiculous. Of course we have Freedom of Speech which is why General Dempsey had to ASK the idiot pastor to stop endangering American lives and did not ORDER him to do so.

How about the government not intimidate or even politely request Americans curtail their First Amendment rights in the face of terror?

Dempsey should spend his time on more important matters, like planning next year’s gay pride parade.

...for a film whose portrayal of the Prophet Mohammad has sparked violent protests - including one that ended with the death of America's envoy to Libya. These two Reuters pixies are FOS. According to breaking news on FOX, U.S. intelligence is saying this was a well organized and well planned attack. It was not a bunch of raggies spontaneously starting a riot over a movie trailer. The movie trailer BS is just that, BS.

So happy the Chairman of the JCS has every strategic tool at his hands, including speed dial to Pastor Terry Jones
Why not just send the Marines to round him up?
If only they werent provoked, muslims would de be such peace loving world citizens
Insults to mohammed are understandably capital offenses calling for mob murder, so if we stop insults to mohammed we stop mob murders
DISGUSTING
