Refresh my US History 101 a bit, but wasn't our country founded on the right to criticize the government and make a single person's voice heard no matter what the statement? Are you saying that Gucci doesn't have his 1st amendment rights because he doesn't agree with you? I may not agree with what Gucci says (I argue with him a lot), but I'm not going to tell him he HAS to say something so he agrees with me.
