Free Speech: Elisabeth Hasselbeck doesn't get it.

Joy Behar to Kirk Cameron "Shut up"

Kirk Cameron, who was once a popular teen idol but hasn't really done anything since starring on Growing Pains except star in really bad Christian Fundamentalist movies, was asked his opinion on gay marriage. Do I really need to tell what he said?

No doubt its the most PR he's received in YEARS. Self proclaimed Christian and bobble head on the View Elisabeth Hasselbeck responded when Joy Behar suggested Cameron shut the hell up.


Elisabeth Hasselbeck "Are you for free speech? or free speech when you agree with it?" 

ugh.

The Same thing happened years ago when Carrie Prejean First runner up for Miss USA 2009 (the winner certainly didn't get a 3 minute segment on The Daily Show) when she said she was for 'opposite marriage' and felt she lost because of it.

She held a press conference to discuss how her free speech rights had been violated. "This SHOULD NOT happen in America!".

The only thing I learned was both Prejean and Hasselbeck have no clue what First Amendment stands for.

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."

Joy Behar is not Congress. Neither is Donald Trump. The Constition guarantees rights. It DOES NOT guarantee that this won't make others think differently about you. It does not say "if your friend says something really stupid you can't block themo n Facebook". Nor does it prevent David Letterman from referring to you as a "dumbass".

Unless a law has been passed that says "Kirk Cameron is not allowed to speak of gay marriage on talk shows" and Cameron is subsequently arrested for that doing. Neither Cameron nor Prejean nor that dumbass poser Tim Tebow have ever suffered legal reprecussions for their words or actions.

A Facebook friend accused me of violating Tebow right to 'religious freedom' when I called him a dumbass.

When preponents of gay marriage and the like accuse others of violating free speech that tells alot about them.

It tells me they can't formulate a rebuttal without changing the subject.
