yes, you certainly speak from a strong position on these questions of adequate evidence, the importance of protecting basic legal rights, as a supporter of the present regime

That's what is so funny about this. The Far Left is foaming at the mouth for the chance to go after Rove. They don't seem to realize just HOW fucked they will be in the future if they manage to get him. "What's good for the goose is good for the gander", and all that...
BTW, I'm not particularly fond of Bush. I just am not the kind of person who runs around committing sedition or betraying my country or wishing harm upon people who are serving our country because I don't like who is in office. I DID vote for Bush, but that was because I see him as by far the lesser of two evils. The Democrats could have had my vote on '04, all they had to do was nominate somebody to the Right of Lenin. They didn't.
I don't hate my country just because I am not enthused about my President. That's not true of a great many people on the far left, who hate America because we are a great nation that has stood up to their favorite governments, like the Soviet Union and the communist government of Cambodia/Kampuchea. For example, on another board that I've been known to read (DU), there's a poster named Tinoire who came out and spoke her mind, saying that she supported the insurgents in Iraq, and that she hoped that a lot of US servicemen died in Iraq. In my opinion, her statements crossed the line from "free speech" to "adherence to the enemy". The admin over there quickly pulled her posts, probably because they didn't want the legal liability for being accomplices for hosting and distributing such comments.
