Secondly, calling ‘asshat’is a falacy commonly, or maybe not, known as AD HOMINEM. (pardon my spelling that causes you so much distress)

Thirdly, everyone knows that the bill of rights does not protect all speech. The courts have ruled that speech that is a ‘clear and present danger’ (like shouting fire in a crowded room) is not protected. However, I hardly think that wearing a shirt that called president bush an ‘asswipe’ (or whatever it said) can be considered a clear and present danger.
You are correct that the constitution does not prevail over private enterprise. Which is just more evidence of how dangerouse these corperations are.
You republicans are so anxiuse to privatise everything. What will happen when the GOVERNMENT is pritatised? Overrunn and overpowered by hige muscled corperations.
I’ll tell you what will happen. Thier will be no freedom of speech. No freedom of religion aside from the religion of the dominating company. What then of your preciouse firearms? The crperations will take your guns away from you just as the owner of the airline ‘took away’ the protesting womans shirt.

You people are so blind.

The constitution protects speech from being restricted by the government, not by any and all.
At least us right-wingers have read it.

A woman was booted off a Southwest Airlines flight for wearing a T-shirt that bore an expletive and images of President Bush, Vice President Dick Cheney and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice.
