Listen ...

Much as we all hate the verbal diarrhea spewed by the dripping sphincters of the GOP/Conservative/Teabag crowd, this is still America. I'm sorry, I value the 1st Amendment as much or more than the conservatives worship the 2nd.

Washington (CNN) - Rep. Robert Brady, D-Pennsylvania, said he will introduce legislation making it a federal crime for a person to use language or symbols that could be perceived as threatening or inciting violence against a Member of Congress or federal official.

...


Like I said before: Just exactly who will be the arbiter of what's "threatening" or not? Just exactly what are we prepared to do about it?

This is "slippery slope" territory. Any attempts to curtail free speech just don't sit right with me.
