Holy Shi+!

These Euro-creeps aren't very big on free speech are they?

More evidence, as if any were needed, of the wisdom of our founding fathers!

No they're not.

They prosecuted a fellow in Germany for a remark he made on an internet forum recently. Here in the UK you can be extradited to the rest of Europe for crimes- including these types of crimes. Theoretically, if someone in Europe didn't like something I said here on FR, they could press charges and, I suppose, have me hauled off to Belgium or where ever to face the court.

The French have the freedom to say that the US Government painted a cruise missle to look like a plane and send it crashing into the Pentagon but they are not permitted to make opinionated statements that are not politically correct.

The Hollywood Left can't be expected to stand up for Brigette Bardot AND Michael Moore and the Dixie Chicks with regards to free speech. I guess they have a French boycott of their own going on.
