    You just lied to me.

    http://civil-liberties.yoexpert.com...-shout-"fire"-in-a-crowded-theater-19421.html

    "So if a court can prove that you incite imminent lawlessness by falsely shouting "fire" in a crowded theater, it can convict you. If you incite an unlawful riot, your speech is "brigaded" with illegal action, and you will have broken the law. But merely falsely shouting "fire" does not break the law, even if it risks others’ safety.

    And, of course, no court will fault you for warning of a fire that actually exists"

    Remember, 2 people got in trouble for this a couple years ago, which sparked the debate.

    "Race baiting" is superseding "race card" and "states rights" as the favourite loaded buzzword, lately.

    Typically, the actual agenda is hardly a hidden one, the use of the trendy fuzzwords a dead giveaway.

    Personally, I seldom take the opinions of media entertainers very seriously, although some seem to wield inordinate political influence over their devoted ditto heads.

    Did you read what you posted? What is the lie you are talking about?

    You can certainly be convicted of a crime for yelling "fire" in a movie theatre. As cited. If you do it and it raises panic, you go to jail. You are not protected by the 1st amendment in that sense.

    Are you suggesting that we censor what people are allowed to say?

    Right now, the racists control the administration and the Senate. The media is dominated by liberals but they're also pretty sensitive to which way the wind is blowing. That's why people from the left like Chris Mathews and Bill Maher have been trying to develop some credibility...and failing.

    So, if the government becomes less racists, I would expect the media to be less racist.

    I get what you are saying but it isn't their job to tell you the difference between, commentary and the news. Unfortunately they pretend too often to present opinion as fact, purposely, there in lies the confusion. This why in this day and age with all the technology to better inform the population, you have to go to several sources to get the actual truth. Free speech is a (*)(*)(*)(*)(*).

    Not if there is a fire, or there is reason for you to believe there is one.



    Why do some folks get in such a tizzy over the comments of entertainers?

    Why are right wingers so obsessed with race and media entertainers?


    The comic aspect is that the political party that is 90% White accuses the party that is far more diverse of racism. What a hoot!
