5. and the right of free assembly means what exactly?
People have the right to protest the coming of spring if they so desire.

6. Yet another leading question by CNN
you just have to figure it's on purpose. They couldn't have asked:

Do you think the War in Iraq was undertaken on false pretenses, Yes or No.

That would be too evenhanded. :grr:

10. CNN taking a cue from Fox?
Is it just me or is that question biased? A fair question would be something like:

Should people protest the Iraq war?

12. My reply to CNN
My question is:
How stupid is this CNN poll question?
"Two years on, is it time to end protests against the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq?"
Is this some sort of 'repeal the 1st amendment' poll? or 'How far up the administration's rear is CNN' poll?

14. I had to send these jerks an email
I told them they should grow a spine and question this illegal war, not question the citizens right to protest it.

If the media had been doing their job we probably wouldn't be in this war.

What kind of question is your quick vote today? How about asking is it time to GET OUT OF IRAQ? By asking this question, you are asking if it is time to limit free speech and the first amendment. Is it time to end protests? How about is it time to end this lying, thieving, corrupt, inept, incompetent, unethical, abominable administration who's behind you are so far up that you would ask such a one-sided question? Media whores like you don't do the American people any favors. Why don't you get back to actually reporting what's really going on in this world, instead of what's being force fed you by this administration? Oh, by the way, how's Michael Jackson and Robert Blake today? Right up there on my "news priority" list. You stink as a news organization and you're all bunch of wimps. Get rid of Wolf Blitzer too, he's an embarrassment to you and the U.S.
