Free speech anyone?
Free speech? Yes.
Libel? No.
Free speech doesn’t permit you to lie about people in public. It’s called slander and libel, and we have very good laws against that. In fact, mot Freepers bemoaned that Bush did NOTHING against the lies perpetrated by Harry Reid and the Dems for six years, which destroyed his administration. About time someone pushed back on this crap.
Yeah, I’m not really a fan of litigation being introduced into political campaigns.
Just thinking what a bunch of smarmy Clinton lawyers could do with that.
Free speech anyone?

It’s not free speech to devalue someone’s assets with lies.
You can’t yell fire in a crowded theater either.
Trump didn’t say Kasich couldn’t do it. He said if Kasich lies, they’ll sue. About damn time, so many lies anymore and no one does anything. Great example, McDaniel in MS, they said he was with KKK, that he was behind the leaked photo of Cochran’s bedridden wife, etc. And the Cochran campaign never had to answer for it.
Free speech doesn’t mean you can defame the opponent.
Qoute: “Free speech anyone?”
Unless Trump exercises it. Then it is bombastic and hateful and not good for the country, etc.
Make no mistake, this is not about free speech. This is about taking out any candidate not sanctioned by the GOPe.
