Not all good Americans feel evil towards America, but some do. The ones who lie and say things like 911 was an inside job done by the American Gov. Well I also see that at least one of those nut jobs are of Arabs decent sounds like Morge and he has his own radio talk show radio talk show sounds like (Most to most am) and the sponsors indorses this kind of talk or why would they sponsor it? Sponsored terrorism indeed,Gov. Why is he still alive and free. What he does is help the terrorist. So why is he free and alive. Free speech falls into a not with standing clause in America. You have free speech but you can not slander with lies or it can become a law suit on your head. So why is he free to do this evil that is done with no regards to the men and women who died serving their country, They died according for an evil Gov, They wasted their lives dieing for America according to this guy. And you wonder why America is so hated? It is because of people like this that tell such lies to ignorant people who can not even read a news paper . He is feeding the enemy exactly what they need. Resolve and justification to kill even more Americans. Is that not helping the enemy while the nation is at war?

I agree. America's enemies are using our constitution to bring us down. Treasonous people like this should have their constitutional rights revoked, tried and executed.

I don't agree with many of your points but I think free speech is essential to our democracy. If we didn't have it we may as well be living in Iraq. You are entitled to your opinion and I'm entitled to mine. I for one, pay attention to both sides and make up my own mind and speak my own mind, not just what our government shoves down our throats. I am a good American because I use my freedom of speech. I think our administration is WRONG and we need to bring our soldiers home. That's how we can best support our troops.

Because to allow otherwise is to be nothing better than our enemies. The freedom to say such things keeps us calm, it allows the release of political energy in an enviroment where at the very least people can know they can voice an opinion and not be, well...killed, and even have an opportunity to control politics at some point in the future.

The "right to free speech" is an interesting concept. You have as much right to ramble on aimlessly as "Morge" does as long as neither of you calls for murder or attempts to incite a riot.
The " men and women who died serving their country" died to give us (all of us, not just those who agree with the majority) these rights, and to attempt to deny certain rights to specific individuals is akin to spitting on their graves. I will not be a party to it.
Treason:the betrayal of one's country by waging war against it or by consciously and purposely acting to aid its enemies.
In order to "commit treason" one must consciously and purposely act to aid its enemies -for example, if someone released classified information. Speaking ones mind does not constitute treason, unless, in doing so, one was giving material support to our enemies.

Treason is a very specific crime defined in the Constitution. The behavior you describe is not something i agree with, but it is NOT treason.
The First Amendment was designed specifically to protect unpopular speech; I wouldn't trade that in for anything...

Yes. When President and Commander in Chief George W. Bush says, "we are not winning in Iraq", he is WORSE than Kerry and Murtha put together!
HANOI BUSH!! Giving comfort, aiding and abetting the Terrorists and Evil Doers.
What are we going to do with this guy!?!?

America is hated for our actions, not because of some nut-job's radio show. If you don't like terrorists why did you vote to re-elect the Bushwacker?

I agree with many of your points, however, you have to be a little less 'ranty' about it. You will not get your point across to the masses if you ramble on like a lune. Happy New Year, and be strong!

Free speech ain't cheap. And some of it is pretty annoying. But that's the price you pay.
