21. Is this the free speech we hold so important?
It is easy to tolerate speech we agree with. It is more difficult to tolerate speech we do not agree with. We must tolerate the expression of opinions we do not agree with or we do not have free speech.

I strongly condemn this type of tactic and am saddened that some here at DU support vandalism. It has crossed my mind that some stating these immature opinions are infiltrators.

It is no excuse that someone had a Kerry sign vandalized. We do not want to stoop to fascist tactics to rebuild democracy in the USA.
