Given the already-amply-proved Bush administration penchant for doublespeak, I'm surprised the goon squads (excuse me, "rally squads") aren't labeled "Free Speech Protectors" or something equally benign. The best lie, after all, is the big lie.

Still, the majority of people don't seem to know or want to believe what many of us knew all along about this administration. Say the word Christian and everything is hunky dory I guess. Maybe we should initiate an IQ test to be able to vote. Once again they’re caught red-handed with the goods.

Were these people hate mongers? I think not, and they should not have been quieted. But why the double standard? Jim,

Stifling dissent is un-American. It will take more than an election to take back this country. Fred Thompson will be the new Ronald Reagan. Many Americans never knew what a bad president Reagan was. Reagan had a lot of help from a Congress with a Democratic Party majority. We need an opposition party. Dissent is patriotic. Stifling dissent is un-American.
