“Like it or not, it’s Free Speech. It’s Uncivil, Rude, Pornographic Speech and Tasteless, but that isn’t Illegal.”

But there are limits on free speech. I cannot yell FIRE in a crowded theater.

OTOH, many tea partiers were “investigated” by the IRS et al during the dark obama days. Their freedom of speech was punished, one could say...

I gotta come down on the side that says this is free speech. Disgusting as it is, I think it is free speech. I am sure that in the run-up to the American Revolution there were many instances of burning King George III in effigy, which is similar to this Griffin stunt. I hope Griffin suffers for it (she won't), but I don't think that what she did was against the law. I think what little outrage we have heard from the left is fueled by their embarrassment over Griffin doing what they all want to do, but want to keep secret.

It's true that had a conservative done this with Obama, he'd be audited by the IRS at a minimum.
