but dasn't demand it, that would be unseemly...

*snort*

gosh, True Free Speech is such a valuable thing (which undergirds all of small-dee democracy), that i wonder why it isn't -like- a progressive value...

you'd think ALL constitution-lovin' citizens would be for True Free Speech, but i'm confused and delusional...

hee hee hee

*here* we have a number of posters confessing their FEAR to dare speak unapproved memes whether 'anonomously', in their own homes, or on the phone; and the public/gummint sphere is going to be *MORE* 'free' than what Good & Serious Pwogwessives *DARE* sprech *HERE* ? ? ?

i don't think so, but i'm confused and delusional...

ho ho ho

i'm still waiting for a -you know- Good, Progressive, Liberal definition of Free Speech and/or CENSORSHIP; because i'm confused and delusional...

ha ha ha

i've figured out that saloonists have internalized the formula of 1 mostly guilty, mostly white, mostly rich, mostly old man is worth *AT LEAST* 100 000 mostly innocent, mostly brown, mostly mooselimb, mostly dead iraqis...

but what do i know, i'm confused and delusional...

ak ak ak

*NOTHING* will come of this flap -or virtually any other- BECAUSE there is no free speech in the mainstream media; EVEN IF infotainment droids WANTED to report seriously, they would quickly be CENSORED (if not self-CENSORED) before any significant media impact would be made...

unless/until that is overcome by dismantling the korporate kontrolled mainstream media, the sheeple are pissing in the wind...

...he said "martyred" when he meant "liberated",

we hope that clears up any confusion...

also,

1. ellsberg has explicitly stated in writings and teevee appearances, that he understood he could -and expected to be--arrested for 'breaking the law' by releasing the pentagram papers...

(*although* it would seem -theoretically at least- that his Real Constituional Duty (not just his individual moral imperative) -especially in light of *trying* to go through 'official' channels and hierarchy to protest our prosecution of that war- *WAS* to the constitution, and big-p People of the united states, NOT to certain people wearing certain metal symbols on their padded shoulders, who were arguably acting AGAINST the strictures of the constitution, as well as against the rights and interests of the People...)

2. good celery stalks unclaimed purgatory and returns to limp gamely into the fey frayed frey... lo, be bop's notes grace stiff staff's stuff still stultifying with straussian abstrusions... belimpo, sing simple morality, that sweet song, again...

3. yes, example #4,429,673 of rethug hypocrisy, and wrapping themselves in the constitution (*over* the skirts, but *under the flag) when it suits their purposes, w/nary a blush for the *compounded* hypocrisy of seeking every sneaky, underhanded, barely legal, legal remedy and protection which they formerly decried...

...and dem'rats are going to do what ? ? ? *snort*

...and it is going to mean squat for the 4,429,673rd time...

4. the mainstream media is broken (um, that is the point of all the kampers being here, nest-paws ?); the kongresskritters have been corrupted (whooo?), coopted (booo!), or cowed (mooo!); the judiciary has been perverted to a reichwing agenda, shitting on the constitution and People when convenient; The They (tm) have successfully -with Hardly A Fucking Peep- instituted 'legal' means of a full-fledged police-state at the time of their choosing/manufacturing...

...and the sheeple still bleat and bleed

bah bah bah

anecdotally, it was only about 1/3 of mid-1700 americans who were for revolution, 1/3 who were royalists/loyalists, and 1/3 who just wanted both sides to shut up so they could finish their grog in peace...

so, that means 2/3 of america has always been constituted of morons, cowards, and quislings... (arnolds ?)

hee hee hee

please explain what the term 'free speech' means, i'm confused and delusional...

ho ho ho

please explain how CENSORSHIP is a laudable value, i'm confused and delusional...

ha ha ha

please explain how the deaths of 1 million innocent brown mooselimb people is morally better than the deaths of 100 guilty, mostly rich, mostly white, mostly males, i'm confused and delusional...
