Lindsay Graham is a Republican. And a jackass.

Via Pajamas Media[*1] comes this de-pantsing of Senator Lindsay Graham by American Citizen Ann Barnhardt, followed by yet another delightful Koran-burning session:

Oh, and all of the above does not mean that Pastor Terry Jones–or Ann Barnhardt, for that matter–is not also a jackass. Burning books pretty much automatically makes you a jackass. But again, that’s pretty much the point of the First Amendment, isn’t it? Even jackasses have freedom of speech–otherwise freedom of speech is a meaningless phrase.

So I guess I’m saying you have the freedom to say pretty much anything you want, except for saying that people can’t say what they want.

(The use of bacon as a Koran bookmark is especially insulting, isn’t it? Completely protected not only as free speech but freedom of religion. Sorry, Lindsay . . . )

(And note, I personally make no judgments one way or another about the Koran or Islam here. I don’t have to. I’m an American. That’s a big part of what being an American means. And that’s why a lot of radical Muslims hate America, by the way. Personally, I wouldn’t burn a Koran, as I have known many Muslims who have been and are worthy of my respect. But I’ve known Hindus and Buddhists, too. Doesn’t mean I have to convert to their religions, either. Not in this country, anyway.)
