The libs had no qualms about trying to get the FCC to remove Rush from the airwaves for excersizing his 1st Amendment right.
It is one thing to tell everyone that you’re some awesome Green Beret with 11 Purple Hearts and 3 Medal of Honors.
I would consider that free speech.
But It is a completely different animal to dress up in uniform with your fake medals and parade around as if you served. That should be punishable.
Hmmmm, true enough.
No one should take offense when a liberal pretends to be someone with cojones and lies about it.
Obviously, then, Rush, I, and countless others can correctly term Ms Fluke as a slut?
That’s S L U T
After all, it’s the truth.
The appropriate punishment should be ongoing public ridicule and shunning, and for the crap to beaten out of him on just one occasion.
Misrepresentation of your military background is certainly a form of fraud. Any sort of personal gain or political advantage gained by fraud is illegal. If lawyers had not made a mishmash of the legal system, this would be simple.
Instead, progressives want to apply some imaginary prohibition against hate speech to any and all who disagree with them.
Something “funny” is going on here.
We don’t need laws when simple public shaming will do just fine.
“Why yes, ma’am, I am a Medical Doctor, please go ahead and disrobe and let me examine you”.
“Hello, this is SENATOR Hodar, can I get a complimentry meal?”
“What do you mean that I’ve committed perjury; I have a right to lie when it suits me”.
Funny that only lawyers and Congressmen would defend the “right” to lie; whereas most people would condemn it.
But this flies in the face of the "It's Now Illegal To Protest Obama" Act just passed by CONgress and signed by the Kenyan.
I knew a guy in Chicago who passed himself off as a Viet Vet, and actually did a lot of passionate work on veterans’ behalf and then it turned out he had never served at all.
Are people's lives so miserable that they glom on to veterans status because they otherwise think of themselves as unacceptable human beings?
I don't get this. In my state, you can get a “Vietnam veteran” plate if you were in the service during those years, even if you were never in-country. I intentionally got the “honorably discharged vet” instead, because I thought it presumptuous to put “Viet vet” on my plate when the closest I got to Vietnam in those years was Texas.
One thing is that it’s becoming very easy to check claims. If you walk into a bar claiming to be a Medal of Honor winner, someone can pull out a smart phone and figure out if you are telling the truth in about three minutes.
One guy told me how he won a major award in the Grenada operation. It took me about five minutes after I got home to find out he was full of it.
