The guy wasn't just a private citizen DemoncRAT.
He was a city councilman who proposed passing a law because something offended him.
Can you say "abuse of power?"

But as we see time and time again, conservatives dont inhabit reality. Excuse me but wasn't it a liberal that wanted to ban all political expression in public places because someone was holding a sign that he didn't like? WHO has trouble with reality? Sheesh!

Do you think that the Nelson Polite story, as disseminated by the national media, is accurate?
Please show us where it is not accurate. I knew eventually it would be us that were in the wrong and Mr. Polite would just be an innocent victim.

Obviously this person isn't a whiner (sarcasm). I think they have missed the point that we should honor our President (regardless of who he is).

No, we are supposed to just sit down, shut up and take all the crap that liberals want to dish out to us. Well, sorry, Mr. Smart but it isn't going to happen.
If the shoe was on the other foot and conservatives wanted a picture of Clinton taken down Mr. Smart would be leading the charge vilifying those nasty conservatives.

Has this guy ever heard of the U.S. Constitution? When people try to deny you your constitutional right of free speech, you are justified in making a big deal out of it.

I always get a chuckle when a Lefty government official threatens to use the power of government to censor speech. I get another chuckle when chuckleheaded newspaper types see this censorship and criticize everybody BUT the censor.

For what chance, do you think, did Polite ever have of actually ramming something through city council prohibiting political expression in public spaces? In reality, Id say his prospects were about zero.The Left would like to lull us into a false sense of security, wouldn't they?
But look what's happening in places where the Left is in power, like Canada and Europe. They are locking up people who say things that offend the Left. They are using their power to stifle the opinions of everyone who disagrees with them. They don't really believe in freedom at all.
Liberals are only "liberal" until they get power.

"...the story might have been seen as the insignificant little flap it really was."
Then why is this Bozo still writing about it? It's interesting that liberals make up conspiracy stories about conservatives, and then rant about them for years, while this is a story I never even heard of until now, yet this guy says it's been overplayed by "the conservative media."
To: bk1000
Well gee thanks Gill, your inceasant whine-job was the fist I'd heard of this. And from my perspective you spent way too much time talking about folks who were exercising their constitutional rights against someone who wansn't.
You see, Nelson (im)Polite had no right whatsoever to demand what he wanted to, and everyone else did.
Perhaps if you leftist jackasses would gain some perspective you wouldn't be under the gun night and day. Just keep it up, we'll be out here. We've got plenty of time on our hands.

It's not about victimhood. It's about the Democratic hegemony that is pervasive in the United States.
The idea that Mr. Polite felt he had the right to tear down the photograph through the coercion of law is very demonstrative of that hegemony. The fact that it is pretty ridiculous gave it legs in the "right wing" news media. The fact that it is ignored in the "left wing" press... well, no need to be redundant here.
There. I did a more realistic analysis in only two short paragraphs. Can I expect the author's paycheck?

liberals may be out of power, but they still exercise immense and nefarious influence
I guess the term judicial fiat comes to mind to counter this cynical idiot.

How dare us conservatives repeat what an elected official says. I would say that this writer has problems granting elitist power to commoners.

Bill OReilly has been yammering about this for weeks, with his bogus campaign to take back Christmas from those evil secular liberals who want to outlaw the mere use of the term merry Christmas. Ho ho ho, its a complete sham, but OReillys audience eats it up: See? Conservatives are being victimized!This not a sham. I see it everywhere. From signs saying "recycle Holiday Trees here", all the way to a local Presbyterian church I was in the other day (working), where the lady I was working with (church employee) tells me to have a "happy holiday". She was wished a "Merry Christmas" in return. I know it doesn't sound like much, but I'm seeing the examples everywhere of people treating the word "Christmas" like it's a curse word. So sorry, not going along with it here. I could care less if they wish me a Happy Hanukkah, Cozy Kwanzaa, or Righteous Ramadan, in return, but I'm going to wish them a Merry Christmas. If they say they're offended, I'm going to tell them they should CHOOSE not to be offended. I've had all of this politically correct garbage I'm going to stand.

"So next time Mr. Polite comes upon something he finds politically objectionable, maybe he should just keep his mouth shut."
The author got one thing right, anyway.
