Andrew Meyer- Where's Our Free Speech Rights Now?

Most of you know the story of 21-year old university student Andrew Meyer from Florida who got tasered at a John Kerry political rally.

The news says he was reportedly pulled away from the microphone after "loudly and repeatedly trying to ask Senator Kerry questions at a campus forum." It's not the tone he was asking in, it was the questions he was asking. Campus police pulled him away after he asked about impeaching Bush and whether or not Kerry and Bush were a part of the Yale secret society, Skull and Bones. Senator Kerry was going to answer the question and even can be heard saying on the video, "It's all right, let me answer his question," as campus police seized Andrew Meyer. Do we really live in a day and age where a person can't ask a question about the standing President without spending a night in jail? No other president in history has gotten away with this level of secrecy.

Have our free speech rights gone completely out the window? Jeff and Nicole Rank, who live in Corpus Christi, TX, were arrested at the President's Fourth of July speech for wearing Anti-Bush shirts. They were charged with trespassing. How were they trespassing if it was a public event? Will the next generation of American's be known as the "censored generation?" Will we just become accustomed to our free speech rights becoming, "We support free speech, but not really, you can't wear anything that criticizes prominent people."

Just some food for thought.
