Well, Brian, the cat's out of the bag now!

Seriously, I find it particularly perplexing when someone complains their
right to free speech trumps someone else's right to free speech.

It usually surfaces from someone with a liberal viewpoint. For instance:

The Dixie-Chick(s) start "singing the blues" when they realize that the
right to express an opinion works both ways. That they never considered
someone's right to free speech could include advocating a boycott of their
products reeks of either rank naivety, or extreme eliteism.

Tim Robbins - How dare someone else use their right of free speech to
criticize me.

Michael Moore - Same thing.

John "Two-Face" Kerry - Same thing.

J. Garafolo(?) - Same Thing

etc. etc. etc...

Now, I'm sure such vocal proponents of free speech and public debate DO
NOT have any intent to strip those same rights away anyone else. It's just
very difficult to try and understand the mind-set that on the one hand is
a most vociferous supporter of free-speech, yet routinely equates any free
speech criticism directed at them as somehow different from their right to
criticize...

You nailed it jd!. Liberals hate to be critiqued in any way shape or form.
It hurts their sence of moral superiority Oh yea? You don't mind if I
barrow your {MIKE TERRY PROTECTION }devise? Do ya? )
