I apologize. The anonymity of the internet makes for a strange dynamic where people get more passionate and hence more bold and brazen then polite society should accept.

I apologize for my tone and harshness.

My point is, topics should be honest and not have sensational headlines that imply a man was shoved to his death off a tall ledge when nothing happened of the sort. This makes the OP look either stupid, which is pretty rare, or just dishonest in order to generate thread replies when he knows his post is really really weak.

The first amendment allows for free expression and the more you hate what the people are saying, the more important that amendment is to protecting them and giving them the right to say it.

My headline would be “Veteran is not Allowed to Violate speakers’ 1st Amendment Rights.”

Because that is what happened. People were exercising their Constitutional right to free assembly and a person who didn’t like what they were saying tried to bully his way among them and they wouldn’t stand for it.

While I am 1000% with the Veteran, I refuse to support him for trying to trample on the Constitutional rights of others. That is what the commie Dems do. They crash Conservative events and try to disrupt them with heckling, violence and force.

People who love the Constitution and support it, don’t approve of EITHER side trampling on ANYONE’S God given Constitutional rights.

The Veteran was flat wrong.

Your headline was misleading, disengenuous, and false.

I accept your kindly offered apology, FReeper to FReeper. Think no more of it, for I will not. ;)

That said: you must know, of course -- particularly if you've read through this very thread -- that it is scarcely my headline to which you are (perhaps with cause) objecting. You've been here even longer than I, and know full well the rules, rigorously enforced: article titles are never, ever, EVER to be edited or altered, sans specific approval by either a moderator, or Jim himself.

I'll gladly accept any opprobrium for posting of the article itself, if necessary -- mine were the fingers doing the cutting and pasting, after all -- but any complaints regarding the title of same must be taken up with Gateway Pundit (in general), or Jim Hoft (in particular). On this, I am unmovable. ;)
