#1 At the end of the day Bush is still in office and while this kids records are cleared, he is still a druggie moonbat with no future. But then that will be bush's fault too. He has a future in being the moonbat son mother cindy never had.

#2 Time to clean house.
This caustic debris attitude, allowing this kid to wear this shirt in a school, while considered freedom of speech which is corroding our society as a whole, then compare this to the cartoons that have been censored because they make Mohammed look bad.
Come on people, you can't have it both ways.

Even if some of the accusations are true, people make mistakes, why do people keep trying to drag our leaders through the mud. I'm certainly not happy with alot of what Bush did in the past, but we need to support our country and come together to make it strong. These filth undermine what we're about as americans. These so called parents influencing their kids in this direction only promotes ill will and destruction of our integrity and strength as a nation. We need to focus on our strengths, not keep the mistakes of the past dragging us down.

I hope we're listening to the conversations of these parents. I wouldn't be surprised if they have ties to some groups that fully support terrorist cells.

Here I go again getting paranoid. hmmm, maybe I'll change my name from Jan to paranoid

#3 "Guiles's T-shirt did not cause any disruption or confrontation in the school,"

The disruption would have been Guiles' if his classmates didn't get a correction from the administration. On the weekend, someplace around town. Some other 'youth' might express himself in a far lesser constrained manner. By having the administration take the figurative fall, it is likely young Guiles avoided having to take a real one. Just the natural behavior pattern of adolescent males sorting out group identity and positioning.

Since the court doesnt grasp the sense of provoking words, can we expect the same consideration of gays, women, and ethnic groups when such T-shirts are aimed their way? Of course not. Its hate speech. Its not hate speech when its focused at Republicans.

#4 Tim Guiles said he is not surprised that his son is at the center of a First Amendment firestorm.
Ive been involved as an environmental activist for years, and Ive brought Zach to anti-nuclear protests, Guiles said. He has grown up with activism around him Its really a natural progression to find this cropping up in his life.

Oh, look! Pop's an old hippie! There's a shocker...

#5 Who cares. Some moronic teen ager getting his 15 minutes. He'll prolly end up working the rest of his life at a blockbuster video or some "vintage" record store (if he's lucky).
