Raisethefist's Sherman Austin PATRIOT-Throttled
by Decius at 8:40 pm EDT, Aug 1, 2004

] Raisethefist.com is not shutting down, and the RTF Direct
] Action Network will continue to grow and remain active.
] A 1 year sentence is not the end of this. It's just the
] begining.

Sherman Austin has been released from prison. He is the first and only person that I am aware of who has ever severed time in prison in the United States for thought crime. What might have been a juvenile fascination with anarchy will now be a life long mission. People who are fucked over like this don't grow out of it.

Austin is a canary in a coal mine. In the wake of 9/11 no one was interested in the idea that he actually didn't DO anything. He just operated a website. They nailed his ass to the wall anyway. First Amendment be damned...

I don't like Austin's politics. He is the worst sort of leftist. Motivated by blind hatred. But if he doesn't have the right to freedom of speech, then freedom of speech isn't a right anymore.

You spelled "served" wrong, asshole.

time
] in prison in the United States for thought crime.

Look back to the alien and sedition acts, stupid...or is that before your time?

Sometimes they do. Maybe you wouldn't. Read a psychology text sometime, or give it to someone else and have them explain it to you.

This must be an example of local color that you picked up in Atlanta. How very Perot of you.

In the wake of 9/11 no one

] anything.

The preceding sentence makes no sense. Better go back to the drawing board. (How did you like MY stab at local color there?)

He just operated a website. They nailed his ass to
] the wall anyway. First Amendment be damned...

Please don't hide behind the first amendment so often, especially when you are a hypocrite. Maybe the folks who put him in the clink were gonna have to go down to atlanta and face a whole bunch of questions from their clique about austin's site...didja' evah think? (that question was rhetorical, before you start thinking. Actually, on second thought, maybe you should start thinking...)

And who cares what you think? Aren't you reporting something here? Quit it with the shitty journalism, Tom. Let the guy speak for himself. This is the reason why FOX news has more fans than memestreams.
He is the worst sort of
] leftist.

And you are an expert? I think the worst sort of leftist is a hypocrite like you, son.

Motivated by blind hatred.

That is a sentence fragment, you stupid asshole.

But if he doesn't have the
] right to freedom of speech, then freedom of speech isn't a
] right anymore.

Not on memestreams, you chickenshit. By the way, I was wrong, Maggie Schutz isn't a bleeding dog, she is a sacred cow...Either way, she smells the same to me.

I like the part where he is prohibited from doing anything ***whatsoever*** politically to change the government.
