    First Amendment rights, indeed! Why isn’t this considered hate speech? Why isn’t this act considered disturbing the peace? In California, Section 647 PC describes “any language that would cause an immediate, and violent reaction”, as disturbing the peace. (Words or actions being considered “languange.”)

    America haters have the right to say what they want, but they also have the right to get their a**es kicked by patriotic Americans defending their country. Why must we accept their feelings, and defend our own? They will never be able to change the country to their own liking, so just leave already!

    Irony: one of the protesters opposed to the flag burning is wearing the flag on his/her head like a rag, which I believe is in violation of the flag code.

    (d) The flag should never be used as wearing apparel, bedding, or drapery. It should never be festooned, drawn back, nor up, in folds, but always allowed to fall free.

    Do we really need to know more when you are a grad student studying communication.

    I graduated in 2009. Even in Massachusetts, I knew plenty of conservative or at least non-far left students.

    Some of the most despised students in general were the fine folks from MassPIRG. Always in you face with the holier than thou attitude about everything.

    One semester the deiced to sleep in a tent until some global warming legislation was passed. They were caught sneaking into the nearby dorm for warmth until early morning. After that the tent was abandoned and tossed in the trash by facilities. The in the spring they had a supposedly solar powered concert. Parked next to the stage they had set up with a few solar panels on top, was a beige/black box on a trailer, that had the words “Kohler Power Systems” with a diesel fuel hazamt placard attached. So much for that “solar powered” concert.

    Depends on what state you are in. In leftist states, I believe “judges” have ruled it free speech…like the picture of Ayers standing on the flag in the article by the NY Times on 911. Only the chicken$!t b@st@ge did it in an alley where nobody would see him.

    Anyway, it always takes leftists to defend something like this as free speech. Obviously he misjudged the student body.

    Oh, and free speech, like wearing unearned military medals by fake veterans. There was a Stolen Valor act passed by Congress outlawing the wearing of unearned military medals…recently overturned by a raving leftist judge who declared it free speech.

    Finally, the Court addressed the highly emotional issue of flag burning. In Texas vs Johnson, it reversed Gregory Johnson’s conviction for burning an American flag during the 1984 Republican National Convention. The Court concluded that the flag burning was “speech” and again determined that the flag desecration statute was aimed at the communicative impact of Johnson’s message. The Court noted, however, that speech-neutral laws, such as those applicable to public burning generally, might be constitutionally applied against flag burners. The next term the Court again confronted the flag burning issue, this time to consider the constitutionality of the Federal Flag Protection Act of 1989, passed by a Congress unhappy with the Court’s decision in Johnson. The Court again ruled for the protester, a man who set fire to a flag on the steps of the U. S. Capitol, finding that the act was an attempt to suppress unpopular speech. The Court’s decisions in the flag burning cases has led to numerous attempts to pass a constitutional amendment authorizing punishment of flag burning and mutilation, but so far the proposed amendment has fallen short of the two-thirds support necessary in the Senate.

    Of course, given how raving leftist this woman is, I doubt she makes any distinction when it comes to the military. Any killing by the military is murder, no matter who gave the order.

    The media tagline I read on a site earlier was:

    LSU student decides not to burn flag.

    I was wondering what REALLY happened.

    Once again, MM is out ahead of the curve and not afraid of the truth.

    There is no law to ‘protect’ the Flag from people like Haas but having no law is actually a good thing because it PROVES beyond any doubt that the respect everyone else, hundreds of millions of us, have for the Flag can only be coming from one place – OUR HEARTS.

    I’m proud of THAT fact not that some idiot was threatened by a bunch of students.

    IMO, threatening Hass gave him what he wanted – attention; the last thing a clown like him deserves.

    If a handful morons burn the Flag once in a while but no one sees them do it – was anyone hurt by it?

    The problem is the Lame Stream Media will promote it…for ratings and as rabble rousers. In typical sensationalism, the on-site camera crew will find the angle that leads the views to assume there were more there than in reality (just check out the coverages of the D.C. marches. This reinforces those who lean left that they are correct in their stance.
    True story: covering an appearance by then-presidential candiate John Kerry, Phoenix NBC reporter Kevin Kennedy (hmmmmm…) was at the train depot in Flagstaff awaiting Kerry’s arrival. He scanned the crowd and tried to estimate. He stated there was 5,000 to 10,000 people there. Not 5 to 6 thousand. Instead he doubled the crowd size in one statement (5,000 was overly generous).
    The leftists can’t help but use the media to lie, cheat and/or steal. They know the value of persuading the masses (especially the public school-educated masses).

    I, for one, am proud that we as a country allow the burning of our flag to be protected by law. I consider this to be a major distinction from other cultures where merely drawing a cartoon will earn one a death sentence.

    It is also protected by law to protest such an act of burning. As long as no one assaults the other party, both sides are legally allowed to carry on with their protest. I would point out that this was not comparable to those who will shout down speakers in a hall, not allowing them to exercise their free speech, or those who would take over a building in an attempt to stymie the free exercise of things such as voting out public unions.

    Sad that Koran burning is not recognized as being in the same category. One can burn a bible or an American flag, but not a Koran, or a rainbow flag, or a Mexican flag, or a Norwegian flag, or pretty much any other type flag.

    I guess we are the only ones adult enough to understand rights such as those.

    I am at work and unable to view the videos. However, if Haas was indeed pelted with items, that was wrong and it should not have been done.

    Counter protesting is one thing. Assault is another. If that happened, I have to cry foul.

    In Nineteen and Fifty-Nine we took a little hike,
    With our scout master down to Lake Anigganike.
    We took a little pizza and we took some sauerkrauts,
    And we marched along together ’til we heard the girl scouts.

    Well, we crept up to the water and we seed the girls a-swimmin’,
    There must have been a hundred of them; pretty young women.
    They looked so fine, even birds forgot to sing,
    We laid down in the poison oak, an’ didn’t say a thing.

    Well, our counselor said we could take ‘em by surprise,
    If we didn’t say a word ’til we looked ‘em in the eyes.
    We kept a real still, an’ we kept our eyes a-glued,
    We saw how they were dressed, they were swimmin’ in the… Well now…

    Well, we ran right after them ’til everyone was pooped,
    So we rested for a minute and our forces we regrouped
    Then we saw the girls, behind some evergreens,
    Captured by a company of United States Marines.

    Chorus:
    We’re the boys from Camp Kookamonga,
    Our mothers sent us here for to study nature’s ways.
    We learn to make sparks by rubbing sticks together,
    But if we catch the girls, then we’ll set the woods ablaze!
    (Ah, them big guys get everything…)

    Well, they ran through the briars an’ they ran through the brambles,
    An’ they ran through the bushes where a rabbit couldn’t go,
    They ran so fast, even we couldn’t catch ‘em,
    From Lake Anigganike, all the way to Buffalo!

    A-rooty-toot-toot!
    A-rooty-toot-toot!
    We are the boys from the Boy Scout troup!
    We don’t smoke, and we don’t chew,
    And we don’t go with the girls that do!

    I’m a proud LSU alumnus today!! I’d be even prouder if LSU hadn’t allowed this in the first place. There is a huge disconnect between adminstration and the student body, and this incident really highlights it.

    Proof positive that left wing wackos are insane (sorry for the redundancy)…the guy must be on meth and thought that he was at Berkerly. The deep south is not a good place for hippies to hate America.

    The administration probably could have taken a stand. Setting a fire (if nothing else) would have given them reason to have the nut job taken off the campus. The students, however, don’t have to worry about the ACLU or lawyers.

    How? If nobody shows up LSM looks stupid for being there or, worse, they are seen as sympathetic to the Flag burner.

    I’m a parent and little kids do all kinds of things trying to push your buttons to get attention. Hass never grew up and has discovered one BIG button to push to make a whole bunch of people all excited about him and take time out of their day to go watch him. Isn’t that just special…

    Sorry, I’ll ignore him just like I ignored my kids who tried the exact same kind of crap back when they were 2 or 3 years old. And, whether he does or does not end up doing anything to the Flag, I don’t care because I fully trust that it is impossible for him or anyone else to hurt what our Flag symbolizes by desecrating it; his doing so only seems to prove that.

    If he pushes the button again and you go there, please tell him for why I’m not there, thanks.

     I trust you run right over to huffpo and kos every time the libs do this to a conservative speaker in a townhall or campus auditorium and similarly dress them down.
