Say goodbye to freedom of press....

I guess the problem here for a lot of people is that this isn't a freedom of the press issue, so much as a question of, "do groups have a right to badger political figures with questions that are fashioned to be either a) unanswerable or b) are written so as to slander the politician in some way and mke them look bad.

Groups like the Wearechange.org, 911truth, PrisonPlanet, etc (they are all run by the same group of people and feed off each other, btw) are only interested in pushing their own agenda, to the detriment of real reporting.

How about insted of being a sheep and following what these sites say you build up your own reasons for despising the Bush regime (like I have).

I guess thats where we disagree - to be escorted off - when offering evidence - rubs me the wrong way - considering how 'paparazzi' is allowed to 'badger' people - as long as its not a politician. I see a double standard - the video - to me - is proof of the double standard. In this case its not anti-bush - its pro-'voice of the people' - even if some think they are 'kooks'. With precedence set - it don't matter if its Bush - Giuliani - or whom ever - they now have new - more flexible rules to screw us all over with. And only a few really care enough to stand up for the 'wackos' - like they are second rate citizens.

Both are/were dictatorships - I would like to avoid turning into that - and guess what has prevented it for 200+ years - the constitution - that is slowly dwindling away - and too many people like here- are justifying it for what ever reason.

Yes, make us the "blind" ones who can't see the truth! You do realize that you can be wrong and making a mountain out of a mole hill?

And if ever, this is ONE example... If you had hundreds our thousands of cases like this, then it might be a different story but come on, just ONE example isn't reason to go all doomsday and all.

You do realize - a mountain doesn't start out as one?
