Default Ah, the party of free speech......

http://www.swamppolitics.com/news/po...nts_wgn_r.html

The obama campaign was asked to provide someone for the show. They declined but send out emails instead. Do they really favor free speech? Nah.

Wonder when they will shout down Olberman, Matthews and Shuster?

Dem's as slimy as they come.

Mormons don't have much right to claim free speech as an important tenet.

In fact, it's what led to Joseph Smith's murder--his non-belief in free speech.

connection. What does that have to do with the story posted? Dems and Liberals like you always claim the right to free speech.....like bashing Mormon beliefs..........but they don't like to see themselves under the spotlight.

Mormons hide their faults, but liberals don't?

of course no one protected LDS free speech either when the LDS printing press in Missouri was destroyed. No one cares about that.

But that's OK due to something else that Joseph Smith said or did that Mike Waters will quickly notify us of.

How is this a FACT? It may be a belief or a feeling or even a perception, but not a fact.

true. not a fact. Many have speculated it's a reason the mobbers killed him but it's not like they wouldn't have found some other reason.
