As much as I don't like Lott, there is a bigger picture here. It's what all of us cry about here at FR. It's the First ammendment to the Constitution that recognizes our right to free speech. To blast Lott because he is a totally ineffective leader is one thing, but to blast him because he exercised his First ammendment rights is tantamount to hypocrisy, especially for anyone here.

Exercising your First Amendment rights is well and good. When you exercise them in a way that demonstrates that you are either stupid or evil, then everyone else has the First Amendment right to demand that you suffer adverse consequences for your speech.

We blasted Cynthia McKinney's flagrantly stupid and constitutionally protected speech. We wanted her out of office. Some Freepers worked to make that happen.

You're telling them that they had no business trying to muscle Jihad Cindy out of office.

I'm telling you that you're full of shhhhaving cream.

It isn't Lott's rights we are talking about. He can say whatever he wants, but it will cost him leadership if he doesn't handle his repsonsibilities appropriately.
