Where was all the talk of the 1st Amendment when the White House asked Google to remove the anti-Muslim video that supposedly led to the anti-American riots? As far as the DesJarlais situation, the conversation that resulted in all the controversy happened over ten years ago, long before he was a Congressman. He was separated when he had the relationship and he and his ex had agreed to see other people so I am not sure the term adultery applies. Even if he discussed the possibility of an abortion, couldn't he have been pro-choice at the time? I do not agree with his stand on abortion now and I wish he were pro-choice, but don't lots of people grow and change their opinions over time? Is that beyond the realm of possibility? If this (illegally taped)conversation took place after he was elected on a pro-choice platform, then he would definitely be a hypocrite. Regardless, any cartoon depicting someone with a gun in his/her mouth is in poor taste and not funny.
