Some Speech is More Equal Than Others

Mayor Michael Bloomberg needs a serious refresher course in American History, the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. While discussing protestors, specifically those who have confronted Republican delegates in the streets, he claims that while the Republicans' speech is protected by the First Amendment, the protestors speech makes them... well let's let the Mayor tell you what he thinks it makes them:

"It is true that a handful of people have tried to destroy our city by going up and yelling at visitors here because they don't agree with their views," Mr. Bloomberg said. "Think about what that says. This is America, New York, cradle of liberty, the city for free speech if there ever was one and some people think that we shouldn't allow people to express themselves. That's exactly what the terrorists did, if you think about it, on 9/11. Now this is not the same kind of terrorism but there's no question that these anarchists are afraid to let people speak out."
That's right, if you're a Republican, speaking out makes you an American. If your not it makes you a terrorist.
