    How does it relate to speech that irresponsibly "incites" the mentally ill? It's not intuitively clear to me.

    Don't the voters sort this one out at the ballot box? Why do we need a federal remedy for loose cannons?
    You are missing the point here. I'm talking about holding politicians accountable. There's nothing that can be done about crazy people, but they shouldn't be encouraged.

    When you, as a speaker, are looking out onto a throng of rabid, hateful people holding signs depicting our president with a target on his head or a Hitler mustache scrawled on his upper lip with misspelled accusations of conflicting political ideologies on homemade signs . . . it might not be responsible to tell these people that the "other guy" wants to take away their guns and then draw them a map with target points on it.

    Is that clear enough?
    Yes it is. The cons ution protects speech of that sort.

    What isn't clear about that?

    Peas in a pod.

    Absent violent conduct by the mentally insane, who's to determine which political speech is irresponsible and how?

    I guess if by " getting owned" means arguing with someone who refuses to argue the point, then . . . guilty.

    I'm talking about holding public servants accountable by restricting what they are concerned with (money & power) and you are talking about legislating insanity.

    It's pretty pointless to continue.

    You are talking about electoral reform.

    Bull . You are talking about strengthening the hand of government to quash political speech based on your fear of what crazy people might do because of it.

    It's pretty pointless to continue.
    Wise decision.

    Changing the subject obviously didn't work for you, and continuing the conversation would only expose more of your hare-brained thinking on the topic.

    I'm not afraid. Crazy people are going to do crazy things. That's obvious. Politicians should not be matching them card for card.

    Wise decision.

    I changed the subject? You responded to me, bubba. I think I know what the subject is.

    That was an answer to a non-topic related question that you asked.

    The subject is:

    (Are you ready?)

    Should politicians and public servants be held accountable for irresponsible rhetoric and speech?

    They are already held accountable by voters at the ballot box. Next.

    Go ahead, why don't you tell us how politicians should be held responsible for incendiary political speech since that's what we're supposedly talking about now.

    Avoidance. Popularity contests and corporate sponsored campaigns is not the concern.

    It's a simple question.
