Be Careful What You Say!

This is another case of not wasting a good crisis, the Az shooting will be used by the left to attempt to shut up all criticism of their socialist policies by labeling it as "Hate speech" .
The same way they tried to shut down debate by labeling all who disagree as "racists".
It's one of the tactics Alinsky specified .

bet the school would of done SFA if he had said the same thing about Bush

3 mins in the Vid was the original comments

An Ultimate Fighting Championship fighter has been placed on administrative leave from his job at a Minnesota high school after he insulted President Obama’s intelligence and challenged the commander in chief to a fight.

Jacob Volkmann told Fox News Radio that he is under investigation by White Bear Lake High School, where he has worked as a part-time assistant wrestling coach for three years.
“They didn’t like how I was representing the school,” he said. “They said I was representing them bad because of what I said about the president and his policies.”
Marisa Vette, the school district’s director of communications, confirmed to Fox News Radio that Volkmann is on paid leave. She refused to say if his comments about President Obama sparked the investigation.

“We have an employee who is on leave and the district is investigating in accordance with the law,” Vette said. She declined to elaborate on the investigation or any complaints that were made against Volkmann.
Volkmann’s comments came during a New Year’s Day interview after he had won a fight. A reporter asked who Volkmann would like to fight next and he replied, “Obama.”
“He’s not too bright,” Volkmann told MMA Fighting. “Someone’s got to knock some sense into that idiot.”
The comment prompted a visit by the U.S. Secret Service after they received several calls accusing the fighter of threatening the president. However, Volkmann said the comments were tongue-in-cheek.
In addition to being a UFC fighter and assistant wrestling coach, Volkmann is a chiropractor and he said his comments were about the president’s health care reform policies.
In a later interview, he backed off the “idiot comment,” telling The MMA Hour, “The only regret I have is calling him an idiot. I don’t think he’s an idiot, but I do think he’s making a lot of mistakes.”
Volkmann was not arrested and he was not charged, but on Monday he was told to report to the school district’s human resources department. After a half-hour interview, he said he was put on paid administrative leave. Volkmann said several parents had called to complain that he was wearing a school shirt and a hat during one of his interviews.
“It’s a little irritating to be honest,” he said. “I think it’s kind of ridiculous that the school is pretty much saying you can’t voice your opinion and if you do voice your opinion you definitely can’t voice it against the policies of the president.”

This is not a new tactic for the left, look at what they did to Joe the plumber, and that was BEFORE Obummer was emaculated. One of the fundamental founding principles of this country was the RIGHT of free speech SPECIFICALLY for political discourse. The government does not and never has had the authority to regulate speech. Especially of a political nature. That right is there to protect the things that you don't agree with.

I'm tired of people being afraid to speak their minds. Like it or not boys and girls we live in an oppressive culture. Political correctness, and "perceived threats". This is BS. Just because these liberal clowns don't want their agenda to be challenged.

Look what they did to Sen. Joe McCarthy. I've read essentially the same story in multiple sources. the most readable for the average person is Ann Coulture's  "Treason". Not only does she cover the smear campaign against Joe in some detail, she names some of the KGB's agent's in the FDR and Truman administrations.

"Administrative leave"    Minnesota media is reporting he was fired!

I am trying to figure out why he was fired as a coach (he doesn't teach, he just helps coach wrestling) for his statements in the context of having just winning a professional fight.  In the context of the fight arena, a legal and professional sport, he called out a person he had political and philosophical differences to face him in a sanctioned fight.  However, school teachers can call elected officials names and express all kinds of dreams and wishes in the classroom, and it is protected by tenure, freedom of speech and healthy debate.

This guy has a huge court settlement coming his way if the ACLU would be willing to cross party lines and show that they are for the Rights of all men and women and not just the left side.

By the way, I do not even give the Secret Service a pass on this one.  I understand that they need to follow up on all threats, but how is a fighter shouting a challenge a threat?
