Graham: Free Speech a Great Idea, but We're at War


(NEWSER) – Lindsey Graham is pretty torqued about Terry Jones' Koran-burning stunt, Politico reports, and wants Congress to look into the unlikely possibility of limiting some kinds of speech.

"I wish we could find a way to hold people accountable. Free speech is a great idea, but we're in a war," he said today. "During World War II, we had limits on what you could do if it inspired the enemy."

Free speech, more than just a good idea, it is constitutionally protected, moron.

 

Graham needs to get his butt down to the Library of Congress and do some history reading.

 

In WW II one could not consort with the enemy nor give aid to the enemy - but everything else was fair game. We had rather vicious cartoons poking fun at "Japs" and "Krauts". Even the government got involved.

 

If he were around during WW II, would Graham have opposed interning the Japanese?
