Freedom of speech

I strongly believe in the concept of free speech, especially political speech. However, every so often some idiot comes along who makes me reconsider that right. Mike Whitney is one such idiot. Here is an article he wrote explaining why he is rooting for the insurgency (oops I mean terrorists) in Iraq. Even after reading his anti-American drivel I still think he should have the right to say stupid stuff. Having said that, I hope some Veteran in his area knocks the dog snot out of him. The right to say something does not equal an absence of consequences.
