What would you have said regrading anti-clinton grafitti? Free speech or not?

As I said approximately twenty posts ago (and I thought I had also made itclear in my initial post, oh well), I don't dispute that the content is protected. I was commenting on the fact that this person chose to disseminate his or her constitutionally protected message by vandalizing both government and private property.

Sadly, I envision some on the left, if not many on the left here in Ithaca, trying to argue that the vandalism itself, as opposed to the message, was free speech.

Geez, for a guy called "Eagle Eye," you don't read too carefully do you? ;-)

This was about the content, not the act or else it wouldn't have made the news and you wouldn't have posted it, hence my question. I doubt that Ithaca routinely publishes news stories about graffiti.

Now if your initial post was as clear as you thought it was you wouldn't have had to clarify it a couple of times. And, no, I didn't read all of the posts before asking my question.

But turn the clock back 4 years, would you have posted this same story about clinton?
