Muzzle Gingrich

Newt Gingrich, named after a toad, obviously, and pretender to the '08 Repug nomination for President, spoke Sunday at (wait for it) freedom of speech dinner and said:

Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich yesterday said the country will be forced to reexamine freedom of speech to meet the threat of terrorism.

Gingrich, speaking at a Manchester awards banquet, said a "different set of rules" may be needed to reduce terrorists' ability to use the Internet and free speech to recruit and get out their message.

"We need to get ahead of the curve before we actually lose a city, which I think could happen in the next decade," said Gingrich, a Republican who helped engineer the GOP's takeover of Congress in 1994.

...

Gingrich sharply criticized campaign finance laws he charged were reducing free speech and doing little to fight attack advertising. He also said court rulings over separation of church and state have hurt citizens' ability to express themselves and their faith.

So, money talks and freedom of speech walks? This is why we have to make EVERY effort at EVERY level, from the school board to the White House, to make sure these people don't get elected. They don't believe in freedom, democracy, or America.
