Are you suggesting that Petraeus can't or shouldn't be the subject of free speech because of his position?




I pointed out the plurality because Limbaugh's defense/explanation was that he was talking about one person only.
I personally don't care what Limbaugh says because he's an idiot. Just like I don't care what ads MoveOn runs, for the same reason.
I just find it extremely hypocritical for people like Republican Rep. Jack Kingston to say:
"Frankly, I think there's a First Amendment issue that goes well beyond Rush Limbaugh, and that's the right of private citizens to have discourse without the U.S. Congress or members of the Senate leadership denouncing them."

Kingston voted last week in favor of a resolution condemning MoveOn for its Petraeus/"Betray Us" ad.
