I think it is not about someone saying "I don't believe Barack Obama is a christian" That is someones belief about another person. More about someone saying "Barrack Obama is not christian" Now it is not a personal belief which is a freedoms, but a accusation about someone that could be a lie.
What actual crime on the books would you be prosecuted for? LOL! Sue for false arrest if you are innocent. ROTFLMAO... What a scream watching the party of law and order and "truthfulness" be timid as sheep over this nonsense.... Crap, there is no law to stop the native Missourian Rush Limfat from telling the political lies he tells daily on his radio show that the Missouri dittoheads gorge themselves on daily...and you are under your bed tonight fearful of the "truth squad?" Bwaaaahaaahaaahaaaaaaaaaa.....
Why worry if a person tells the truth? When the Bush administration began their wiretapping and spying on Americans, the right wing went apeshit with the concerns of those who thought their right of privacy was being violated, claiming "if you aren't doing anything wrong, you got nothing to worry about."
"They will be reminding voters that Barack Obama is a Christian who wants to cut taxes for anyone making less than $250,000 a year." Prosecutors have said this. ****************************************** My take on it here: They will be reminding voters that Obama is a Christian. Like, "Just in case you forgot, this little talk in our office will help you remember. Obama is a Christian. You better not disagree. That would be a character attack. Calling someone a liar is a character attack. If you say Obama will not cut taxes on the poor you would be calling him a liar. That would be a character attack. One final thought, your phone and e-mails will be monitored."
And if a candidate "changes his mind" on an issue, or a figure, or a date, etc...then is his current stand the truth? Is he guilty of a lie about himself? If his previous statement is quoted, is it now a lie because he changed his stand? The very people that hate the patriot act don't have a problem with this? Bet they didn't have a problem with filegate, either. As long as it's their truth.
I'd rather not have the local prosecutor and the local sheriff coming to my doorstep to remind me of the views of anyone running for President.
