If you Americans are so big on free speech, why did you make such a big deal about Natalie Mainse statement? or are you only for free speech that agrees with you? Some people said that they were against her for saying it outside America. But I was under the impression that speaking your mind is allowed in any country that allows free speech, not just in your own, andquietly so nobody could hear you. Am I wrong in this?

I have no idea what she said exactly, but honestly, I didn't really have a problem with it. Why? because I don't like Bush. LOL I'd say she chose a really bad time and audience to say it, but other than that, eh. Free speech? I'm with you on that one. Free speech is allowed in any country that allows free speech. But that also means that people are allowed to disagree, they can agree to disagree, as it is. So the people who made objections to Mainse's statement also have that right. Like I said, I think she could have chosen a better time and a better audience when making that statement.

You insult a president who is supported by the majority of your audience, what would you expect.
Same happens here, if somebody says something, they will label you, or insult, and I am talking about left wingers (even though I know right wingers do it too.)
