You can't talk if I want to talk over you and you can't shut me up no matter how inappropriate my ravings are. Of course we can shut you up as this photo clearly shows. It looks like Code Pink loon Medea (Sally) Benjamin disrupting a speech at the RNC. Do right wingers disrupt any speeches? ANY?

I told myself that I could watch just as much of the Republican Convention as I did for the Democrats. I failed. Hurricane Gustav did me the favor of limiting the time I had to spend on Labor Day. Besides, there was this barn-burner of a college football game on between Tennessee and UCLA that went into overtime.

What's this a picture of? Correct. It is an artist 's rendering of the only way you'd get me to obey this exhortation: Tune in to a special FOX News documentary Saturday night for an intimate look at the family life of the GOP’s vice presidential nominee. Where is the line between "free speech" and propaganda produced by a de facto subsidiary of the party controlling the White House? (h/t: poputonian,...

Of course, we all have a right to free speech — whether Code Pink, Iraq Vets Against the War, or Sen. John McCain. But, an acceptance speech is designed to put your candidate in the best possible light and unwittingly allowing protesters to interrupt that singular moment, several times, interferes with that image and raises [...]

For the rest of us, it's a crime. -- Timothy Karr, Huffington Post Two Student Journalists...

THE last time the South Wales Echo squared up to religion, religion – in the guise of Stephen “Birdshit” Green – shouted back BOO! The paper scuttled away in full panic mode, apologised to Christians for offending them, and promptly removed the offending item – a column by Dan O’Neill – from its website. Well, [...]

In an age where book banning and censorship occur with shocking regularity, it is not only nice to know—it’s essential to know that libraries provide access to controversial materials. In fact, they do not simply shelve such items, they even celebrate them every year for a week in September at a nationwide
