Polite Americans Express Free Speech!

Posted on Wednesday, July 21 at 14:24 by whelan costen
Ben Cohen, who co-founded Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream, told a Seattle newspaper that he's exercising his right to freedom of speech to expose what he sees as Bush's untruths during a presidential election year. "In a polite society, you don't go up to a person and look at them in the face and say, 'You're a liar.' We think it's a lot more dignified and there's a lot more decorum to say, 'Excuse me sir, your pants are getting a little warm, don't you think?'" Cohen calls his stunt the "Pants on Fire Tour" http://www.mytelus.com/news/article.do?pageID=cbc/world_home&articleID=1667843 Ben also has a website at http://www.truemajority.com discussing this and other actions.
