This story will go unreported and unnoticed most places, but I bet in time it will be recognized as a flagpole in digital free speech legal fights.

A hot cup of coffee at McDonalds is worth $3 million, but free speech, at the university level no less, is relegated to the Dollar Menu.

How far we have come.

They are not thugs. They are nothing like what she is saying. They’re just after her.

None of them are perfect, but none of them can be happy with what they’ve seen all too often. Professional candidates who think that a campaign fund is their own little ATM. She doesn’t have to go to Washington, Washington is going to come to her and do all the things she only said that she would do.

She is Christine O’Donnell and she is finally going to get the message. They’re after her.

It is a spoof on O'Donnell's "I am not a wit.ch" campaign ad. It "defends" those she charged with thu.gg.ery similar to the way she defended herself. I originally posted it to the appropriate
topic but the mod.er.ator.s apparently found it too ob.s.cene or a.b.usi.ve and squelched it. So I posted it elsewhere where it lay defiant and ignored. Till now.
