It's legal of course,although why someone would want to support an ideology that has been the direct cause of over 100 million deaths is beyond me. But legal yes,every person has the right to say what they want,too bad the extremists on the left and the right don't get that. Just think if the extreme nuts believed in freedom of speech Imus would still have a job,and could still be using his show to raise millions for charity.

Yes. If you do a Google Search... or a Yahoo! Search since this is their board... type in US Communist Party, you'll be surprised to find that there are in fact several of them in existence. One of the beautiful things about this country is that there are more than just Democrats and Republicans. The sad thing is, third parties don't hold the same clout.

Yes, the First Amendment gives you the right to free speech, the only fallout is how much criticism your willing to take. Generally if you go out on a limb with what is viewed as a radical or wrong idea by many, you will isolate yourself. Does not mean you should change what you believe, just be prepared for the fallout.

Yes. Though it's technically illegal to teach the typical form of communism (which advocates violent revolution), or belong to any organization that espouses the overthrow of the US government, that law hasn't been enforced in over 40 years.

As long as Imus listeners aren't listening. I am so grateful to Imus for pointing out that Nappy Headed is not covered by the 1st amendment

Yes. Example: Castro is great, long live the communist party.

Yes. Pretty much anytime Rev. Jackson, Al (pick one!), or Rosie open their fat mouths; you can bet that sort of thing will come out.

freedom of speak, within certain limits (you can't yell fire in a crowded building) - you can make any stupid statement you want. People may not be thrilled with you though!
