In Denver Colorado, a woman had a bumper sticker that read "F--- BUSH", except it wasn't edited like I typed it out above. A police officer said that she would be arrested if seen with the sticker still on her vehicle next time he seen her. (See story below)

While I don't agree with her opinion on President Bush, I do believe in freedom of speech. However, I think that sometimes it it taken too far. I don't think obscene language should be allowed in public like on bumper stickers or on t-shirts and such. I think a line does have to be drawn somewhere. I have no problem with her or anyone else for that matter expressing their disapproval of George W. Bush but isn't there a better and smarter way than saying "F--- BUSH"?

Q

Eh, over reaction to a different opinion. Could it have been a politer sticker? yeah, but maybe it says exactly what she wanted it to say. Short and to the point. I don't see what's so wrong with the "F" word anyway, it's just a word. Not like it pushes children down in the street, or kicks puppies.

Good for her for exercising her right to free speech! Now...the real question here is...was she threatened to be arrested because the bumper sticker possessed the F word, or was she arrested because it was an attack against the Republican party?

All of you people who support our "genius" President...are you sorry now that he is our leader? He wants to overturn Roe v. Wade. He wants to remove the tax break for homeowners to finance this needless war. Yesterday, so many more of our soldiers were killed. Can anyone tell me why our men and women are still there? What are they truly fighting for?

So that your fat ass can post here.

And if mods now think that the "F word" is okay and that it's "just a word". How about we remove the curse filters?

I'm getting a bumper sticker that says "I want to touch your children". What do you free-speech doves think about it?

Have you guys ever heard of thing called disturbing the peace, you simply just can't have something obscene showing in a public area. You by all means simply don't have the right to do that, and deserve to be punished to the fullest extent of the law, regardless of whether it says f bush, f kerry, or f anything else.

She had the word "*****" on her bumper sticker. Therefore, she should be prosecuted. Too bad. Quit making a scene.

Well movies have the rating system so I dont thing little children can just walk into a rated R movie by themselves and hear a bunch of swear words. It just common courtesy not to swear in public where little ears can hear you and repeat.

I don't see the problem with a bumper sticker that says "**** Bush" or **** anything for that mater. As citizens of the United States we do have our right to free speech. In fact democracy can’t function without it. I definitely feel someone has the right to express his or her views about our [color=black]beloved[font=Times New Roman][size=3] [/size][/font][/color]president.

And anyway, what’s so bad about the F word? It’s just a word and nothing more. And I don’t see how censoring it from the public is going to protect our children. Kids know about the F word anyway.

Nothing worthwhile is ever easy. You don't have to agree to still show your support for our brave men and women.
