Herb, what agent of the government deprived those idiots at MoveOn of their constitutionally-protected speech?
Oh, that’s right — none!
What commercial enterprise deprived them on their non-protected speech?
Oh, that’s right — none!
Cedarford is obviously right and you know it. So does MoveOn — that was an *infamous* ad they will never live down and it has not been paraded around since.
I will take issue with cedarford on this: that wasn’t merely a childhood chant. That was civilized wisdom passed down for generations designed to mitigate the admittedly juvenile but quite effective tactic of baiting someone into a physical altercation.
Human beings are not perfectible; the “sticks and stones” admonition fits on a continuum that represents a coping mechanism about as good as we’re going to get when it comes to conflict.
