You only have twenty days left to say, "Bush is a wanker"
Satire
First it's a prohibition on burning flags, next comes a moratorium on criticizing the President. Senator Zell Miller (D, but really R-GA) recently introduced a bill into the Senate (S.108551) that would make it a crime to criticize the president "during a time of war or a crisis of national security." If passed, this legislation would essentially prevent the Kerry campaign from debating President Bush head to head and from running advertisements questioning Bush's policies. It would also virtually eliminate the ability of 527 groups that are critical of Bush to continue fundraising and getting their message out.
"John Kerry and these other Democrats make me so mad," said Miller. "Can you believe how little respect they are showing for our president and our country now that we are in a time of war?"
Regardless as to whether this proposed legislation violates the First Amendment, the Democrats are expected to vote for it as a show of support for the office of the presidency, if not for the president himself, whom they would then have to support.
