Constitutional right of free political speech.


It is a good thing you do not want to debate the issue since you do not understand the what our Constitutional right of free speech means. (I will give you a hint, it prohibits the Government from punishing you for your speech, it does nothing to protect you from your fellow citizens complaints about your speech.

This is called satire, and it is a protected form of free speech. The celibrities (as public figures) are acceptable targets of this type of satire.

I do not want to debate the issue on this forum. Whether or not calling celebrities 'weasels' is true satire or not is both a factual and legal question. It costs money to defend litigation. There is no award of attorney fees to a defendant when a viable case is filed raising issues of both fact and constitutional law.

The last memorable case on political satire went all the way to the Supreme Court --

I envision several lawsuits filed by big name celebrites and they are very dangerous people to inflame.

You could be right. All the more reason I'll place an order today.

Thank you for posting these. It is great to be reminded what these people have been saying, and the ways they have been trying to undermine our efforts.

This will not work unless Danny Glover has a card! And do not make it a spade or it will turn into a race card!

They seem like they'd be a great gift for liberal friends who are sitting on the fence trying to decide whether they should cross the great ideological divide!

Satire is protected speech. Political satire is the most protected form of speech. What might hurt is the unauthorized use of photographs. There could be copyright violations here.

I get a deck quickly before some copyright lawyer gets an injunction.
