OHIO JUDGE DECLARES GOP PARODY SITE PROTECTED BY THE CONSTITUTIONAL GUARANTEES OF FREE SPEECH

An Ohio Democrat, Michael Dalton, has an awesome site that spoofs the Republican Party. Never known for their sense of humor, the Repugs sued. Today the CINCINNATI ENQUIRER is reporting that Hamilton County Common Pleas Judge Ralph "Ted" Winkler denied a request by the Hamilton County Republican Party to shut down the site which dei partei claimed violates its trademark rights. The Republicans say the site will confuse people, but even the 30-odd percent of brain-dead Americans (true, overwhelmingly Republicans and related far right extremists) should have no problem in understanding that a site making fun of Republicans and calling attention to their corruption and treason is unlikely to be an actual Republican propaganda site.

Judge Winkler said political speech is protected by the Constitution and that he looked at the Web site and didn't think anyone would get confused. "Clearly it is not a site sponsored by the Hamilton County Republican Party," he said. Take a look at Dalton's site, though. It's pretty funny and the photo above is from it.
