You have the right to remain silent

[cyrano]

So apparently the City of Boston has allowed a place for people to say things the DNC might not want to hear.
It's tucked away under the tracks of the El (Or whatever it's called in Boston--I don't remember), surrounded by chainlink and topped with razor wire. Admittedly, this report is coming from people who have been inside it, so they might be biased. After all, it's not a real relocation camp, and they willingly entered it. And I do understand that the City has a right and a need to protect its citizens from what they feel might be inconvenient or dangerous. As Mayor Daley said on the eve of the '68 Convention, the police are not there to create disorder, they're there to preserve disorder.

But I still don't like it.

Ahh yes. I read a letter to the Seattle Times last night that put it very simply: Free Speech Zone? Isn't our entire country supposed to be a Free Speech Zone?

Well, yes, see, that's the problem with you liberals. You take all that Constitution crap and you expect it to actually apply to people we don't like.
And we don't like you. See that little booth where Anne Coulter is standing with the cattle prod and the tin snips? Just join the queue.
