Maybe it's the devil who makes them do this

Rep. Hastings: "Maybe it's the devil who makes them do this. We have flag burning, proposal for constitutional amendments, we have gay marriage, proposals for constitutional amendment, yet, when it comes to the basic freedom and liberty of this country, the press, we are presented with a resolution that condemns them, that's all it does, it doesn't sanction, it condemns them, it's our opportunity to vent and say little things about "The New York Times."

@hookalakah: Freedom of speech means you tea baggers can make the obnoxious comments you do. Hastings is standing up for those rights.

@hillbillygill99: The people in Iraq are dying for the oil companies. Shows how much you know.

The House should really supply an interpreter for C-Span.

Let me get this straight.

A man who solicits bribes in private and now in public, is in charge of House ethics.

He quotes Ben Franklin. LOL.

This long-winded clown shot his mouth off about Sarah Palin when he addressed a Jewish group in Florida, intimating that she wants to brutalize blacks and Jews. The "free press" that Hastings praises will give him a pass on these inflammatory comments; they'll go unreported. It's laughable to hear him rail about accountability. If you're so willing to die for freedom of the press, Mr. Hastings, then I'm sure you'll never advocate the Fairness Doctrine. Like hell you won't.

This gentleman said he doesn't believe in what Fox news says but he will die for their right to say it. Is Gibberish,,pick up a gun and go to Iraq because they are the ones dying for our freedoms which includes free press,,other wise sit your old ass down.
