    It was spot on, I have always defended the first amendment, I don't pick and choose which parts of the constitution can be violated at will.

    You are nit picking. No telling what a guy like Christy says when the mike is off, given what he says on mike.

    Nit picking? At least mine has teeth, ex is attacking a buy for being nice. Geez, Tal, get your priorities right. You want more examples? Try this, or this, or sending union thugs out to harass citizens, asking people to snitch on their neighbors, invoking Nazi comparisons, telling them to bring a gun to the fight (while pushing for gun control no less).

    Goes back to ex's original complaint, what's the point of criticizing a Republican for being a gentleman statesman? You guys have more than enough work to do keep your own in line.

    He chose not to admonition over the top language. I don't think that's being a statesman. Does he condone that type of over the top rhetoric? Don't know.

    Oh give me a break, it is not a congressman's job to admonish constituents, it is his job to LISTEN to them and REPRESENT them not confront them. That's what Dems do and you have NO room to talk about over the top language going unanswered.

    First of all that's not true, we do talk policy and second of all, no one cares what happens in Canada - that's why you pester us here.

    Ah, back to the insults and still missing the point. A) again it was sarcasm and B) I'm not the one obsessed with hating on our friends across the border. That's what you do.

    But you're the one that keeps giving your a$$holes their day in the sun by showcasing them here. Otherwise we'd never know.

    Excuse me, but excon is the one trying to make a congressman being civil out to be a lowlife. You should expect a response.

    "And there I thought you were for freedom of speech."

    You First Amendment does not give the absolute right to free speech. There are legal provisions that cover the potential of such scenarios.

    Yes, Tutty, I was going to get to that point eventually. Apparently some think you can't yell "Fire" in a crowded theater but you can threaten to kill the president - it's OK if the president is part of the other political party then the one they support.
