What I find…well amusing I suppose…is you want the maximum stretch of interpretation of the Second Amendment (guns) but want to limit the interpretation of the First Amendment (free speech).

Blagojevich is a constitutionally elected official. He is also an idiot. You suggest it is wrong to say that. I disagree.

George Bush is an elected official who has squandered the good reputation of the United States, lied to the people of the country and the world and sacrificed over 4,000 Americans to his lies.

I do not believe he or any other elected official should be protected from criticism.

And I not believe criticism of him or Clinton or Obama when he gets into office - or Pierce or Harding or any other man who sat in the oval office shows disrespect for the position of president or for the constitution.

Otherwise the Founding Fathers would have written the first amendment to say…”freedom of speech except when criticizing government officials.”

Thankfully, they did not.
