    What in god's name does allowing Michael Moore into the Republican National Convention have to do with "free speech"?


    Obviously he's got a press pass. Some major publication probably sent him as their press representative. Freedom of the press is part of Free speech.

          John McCain's speech was fantastic but Giuilani's speech was spectacular! Giuilani rocks!
          'There is a greater darkness than the one we fight. It is the darkness of the soul that has lost its way. The war we fight is not against powers and principalities, it is against chaos and despair. Greater than the death of flesh is the death of hope, the death of dreams. Against this peril we can never surrender. The future is all around us, waiting, in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain.'"
          G'Kar - from Babylon 5 episode "Z'ha'dum"

              Ya know, this all would've been easier without that bothersome 22nd amendment - just reelect Clinton

                Yes, but can you imagine the rhetoric if the Republicans said a certain news publication was not allowed to cover the event?!

                I wasn't talking about the letter of free speech, but rather the spirit of free speech.... and the PR problem it would be to ignore that spirit.

                    I don't really think anyone would blame them for not wanting Michael Moore at their convention.

                      It would be definetly used as support of the assertion that the Republicans cannot tolerate dissent at all. I think it'd be pretty damaging.

And down here on earth the nations will be in turmoil, perplexed by the roaring seas and strange tides. The courage of many people will falter because of the fearful fate they see coming upon the earth, because the stability of the very heavens will be broken up. Then everyone will see the Son of Man arrive on the clouds with power and great glory. So when all these things begin to happen, stand straight and look up, for your salvation is near!" --Luke 21:25-28

First, all the Christians who have died will rise from their graves. Then, together with them, we who are still alive and remain on the earth will be caught up in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air and remain with him forever. --1 Thessalonians 4:16-17

                            I think leaders from both wings should discuss the possibility of "unfortunate accidents" happening simultaneously to Ann Coulter and Michael Moore.

                              Don't forget Michael Savage in the "unfortunate accident" category.
