"I was not coming there really to heckle anyone, but I lost it when Kristinn went on that stifling free speech routine. Now remember my perspective on the whole banning thing. That was part of the reason why I blew up. Another reason was because I always hear that argument when someone is trying to get out of a dispute they don't want to be in. That is not excluive to any side, and my position is that I do not say the things I do because I have freedom of speech. Freedom of speech allows me to. I say what I do because it is something I feel needs to be said. Fact is there was no freedom of speech being violated. If folks didn't like what I had to say, tough. You can't make me go away because of it."

Sorry dude, but I musta missed yer "blow-up"...was that before I got there? As for kristinn's "FReedom of Speech routine", as you call it, I just rewatched it on CSPAN and it seems like he's just explaining the Protest Permit Process, wherein those promoting diametrically-opposed opinions are not allowed to disrupt the activities of those who permitted the site in question. He didn't get all hyperbolic or full of hisself, just spoke the facts. To my recollection, you had no offensive placard, so were you hollerin' stuff or what?

"Man, 'tis not a wise thing to approach me with a race-spike remark like "are you a sniper". Even if he was not a racist, it didn't exactly look good."

Hence, my admonishment of whoever it was who made whatever comment it was that I deemed racist. Racist innuendo is one of the worst conversation-enders I can imagine. However, around here, the Sniper wasn't "black" as much as he was a "Leftist" or a "Muslim fanatic". Since we had folks who looked a lot more Muslim than you at the rally, I suspect lp figgered you fer a sniper due to yer Leftism, not the color of yer skin. But lp's good people...really.

"Indymedia is FR for leftists."

I've heard that said by DU.commers, SmirkingChimpsters, and now this...I've lurked on the other two briefly in the past, but have yet to venture onto indymedia. Do you have a link to a thread you are particularly proud of?

"Okay, enjoy yer happy hour!"

I did...me and jla hooked up with EX-RNC Chairman Jim Gilmore and his lovely wife, Roxanne, as well as my congressman, Eric Cantor and we tried to convince both of them--in separate conversations, of course--to run fer RINO Jawn Warner's Senate seat in 2008, so that RINO Jawn could run fer VA Governor before retirng to become an Elder Statesman...LOL!! It was a HOOt!!

FReegards and have a nice day...I'm yard-working it most of the day, but will be checking into FR regularly...MUD
