Lindsay Graham Joins Billy Long in Attacking the First Amendment

A true conservative Republican who took an oath to defend the Constitution of the United States would defend all free speech, including speech critical of them. That wasn't the case earlier this year when Congressman Billy Long handed over his enemies list to the FBI and began having his critics investigated.



Now another deceptiCON wearing Republican red is attacking the First Amendment. Lindsay Graham spoke out against the First Amendment after a Florida preacher burnt three Korans. Graham says there needs to be limits of Free Speech. Hey Lindsay, you idiot, if you put limits on free speech it's no longer free speech.



“I wish we could find a way to hold people accountable. Free speech is a great idea, but we’re in a war,” Graham told CBS’ Bob Schieffer on Sunday.

Of course Graham has always been one of the most worthless Republican in the Senate--holding hands with that other worthless Republican John McCain.

It's not the first time an American politician cited a war as reasons to limit free speech. Many people forget another Republican named Abraham Lincoln put his political critics in jail and shut down newspapers during the Civil War. Oh, the Republican party doesn't have this stellar image or protecting the Constitution either, whether it be Billy Long, Lindsay Graham, or Abraham Lincoln. This is why the Tea Party should not marry the Republican Party.
