[Vision2020] If You Look Young, Don't Buy Spray Paint ;-)

Here's an example of legitimate speech:  When someone writes hopelessly 
childish, petulant, mocking, smirking, stupid, inane, tiresome and utterly 
vapid comments regarding things he knows nothing about.  "Legitimate speech" 
can and often is all of those things.  Your work certainly is.

Thank you Keely, Saundra, and Bill,

For making my point.

I have one question. Could either of you three individually, or as a chorus, 
please define "legitimate speech"? And is "that qualifier" found some where 
in the Constitiution? (I guess that would be two questions)

Do you, as the "collective" voices and poster children of the Intoeristas, 
define what is legitimate and what is illegitimate? When will we know for 
sure which it is? I would like to get that memo. (I guess that makes 4 
questions in toto, Sorry I learned to count in public school)

I await your senergy sayings with stillness! If you wish you can send your 
answers to Decopauge to color coordinate them!

lemeno, Doug



And for Saundra, my thanks for posting that again. What great publicity for 
the lunacy of the left. And from the left!

And just because you can't read Right-Mind.... I will be posting may of 
Dale's profound wisdom and computer prowess regularly..

My first installment:

Free Speech Redux
For my readers who haven’t seen this before, Bill London wrote a Daily 
News “Town Crier” column back on 14 Sept. 2005 (Don’t Bury Free Speech 
In Friendship Square) where he argued that scrawling “Hitler Youth” in 
chalk in front of NSA is “legitimate and legal speech”.
In Venom2020 today, he stands fully by that column.
I stand by what I wrote. It is legitimate to use chalk on a public sidewalk 
to present your political message.
It is not legitimate to use spray paint on private property to present you 
gang wannabe message.
If you can't see the difference, I suggest you take a few moments to read 
the Bill of Rights
First, maybe it is London’s turn to read that Amendment again. Where does 
the qualifier “legitimate speech” come from? Is it only our Intoleristas 
who are arbiters of what is legitimate speech or not? Given their actions 
over the last four years, I would say so.
Second, in the 27 Sept 2005 edition of the Moscow-Pullman Daily News, 
Michael O’Neal wrote the following:
In his recent Town Crier column (Opinion, Sept. 14), Bill London smugly and 
triumphantly demonstrates that the “Hitler Youth” graffiti at New Saint 
Andrews College fails to rise to the level of vandalism and in fact is 
legally protected free speech.
One can only marvel, breathlessly, at the hypocrisy of this position. The 
issue is not about whether this malicious act meets some legal definition. 
The issue is much larger and is no less than the ongoing bigotry and 
two-facedness of some elements of our community. London knows that if 
someone had scrawled “Ragheads” on the sidewalk outside the Muslim 
center, or “N----r lovers” outside a human rights office, we would never 
hear the end of it – and rightly so. Perhaps such acts, too, would not 
legally be crimes, but they would deserve the censure of the community, not 
labored and trivial defenses.
In my view, this Town Crier column is more hateful than the original act 
that prompted it.
Michael J. O’Neal, Moscow
Hypocrisy is exactly right. Even the Moscow Human Rights Commission 
denounced this act. They did not trumpet it as an expression of 
“legitimate speech.”
Again: thank you Bill London. I couldn't have paid an Intolerista to say the 
things in the paper that you did. You made it black-and-white to everyone in 
Moscow what the real nature of the Intolerista attacks is all about -- and 
it's not about a love for the code.

And thanks for saying it again (and again…). Can I recommend that you 
write another column in the Daily News trumpeting this position? Please?
