Up for Debate

"It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech."

Zell Miller, Georgia's "Democratic" Senator

Defend or refute.



Update: though clearly an editorial piece, there's a great opening paragraph, from a strictly writerly point of view, in this article...

'...it was a surprise this week when the Republicans revealed the real message of their 2004 convention: We need President Bush to protect us from Zell Miller. The Democratic senator-turned-Democratic scourge laid into John Kerry Wednesday night with an Old Testament rage that crescendoed when he looked into the camera, quivering, and promised Americans that if they voted for the Democrat from Massachusetts, he would personally come to our houses and "whup your traitorous, Osama-loving asses with a hickory switch."'
