"This is a matter of free speech," said Julie Enslow, an organizer with Peace Action Wisconsin in Milwaukee. "It is totally irresponsible for radio stations and bloggers to attack a person for his personal political views."

Which means, translated, that while anyone is free to insult the military no one is free to respond. Sorry, Julie, it doesn't work that way.

Yes, the lefties use the free speech defense of indefensible language the way a trial attorney uses it -- he accuses the witness of something horrible, the judge admonishes the jury to disregard the remark, but it's "out there" and implanted in their minds.

Nope. If you play the game be prepared to duck the incoming and give your business to the courts when the boycott starts.

You play when you open your mouth. Be prepared for the retort.

For leftists, free speech means you're free to agree with them.
