"Did someone just say, 'Shut up'? I don't know if you heard about this thing called freedom of speech, man."

Eddie... Freedom of speech doesn't mean those around you have to listen, accept, or agree- especially when you try to give us your "intellectual guidance" by way of torturing our President in effigy. Eddie, Freedom of Speech means we can tell you to shut up. Moreover, we allowed to be offended by your words and walk out of your concert. We can stop buying your recordings. It's not an attack on your freedom of speech or economic well being, it's a consequence of your own actions. May want to consider the fact that you're running a business, and if not consider what you say, than certainly how you say it.

Reminds me of a scene from the movie 'Zorro, the Gay Blade'. Some activist woman was harranging a crowd against the local despot. One of his minions shows up with soldiers and tries to arrest her. She holds up a copy of their constitution and screams out that she has the right to free speech. The mayor looks at the parchment and nods his agreement. Then he orders his troops "then arrest anyone that listens!!"
