Well, something that is covered by the bill of rights
*twice* is usually treated more delicately. By your
lack of response, do you agree that it's a violation
of our 1st and 4th amendment rights? I'll assume no
and continue.

Mmmm, protected speech in a political context? So
your mindset is that we can't say anything unless the
constitution says we can? Please say i'm wrong. That
is backwards, in any case. There are only exceptions
to freedom of expression.
The first thing I found applicable (on just the
*first* amendment, mind you) after doing a google
search was a page done by the NEA, the guys who use
our tax dollars to make pictures of a whip up a guy's
*ass* and call it art. Nevertheless, they seem to
have a grasp of the First pretty solidly:

skip on down 1/3 of the page and look at item C.
Under which heading does our issue fall? Sedition,
perhaps!

According to Bemmzim, immature jerks don't get
constitutional protections.
