It is officially OK to poop on someone's politics

from JoeUser Forums

I don't make this stuff up folks.

This one is just too funny:

(from Rocky Mountain News, headline is linked)

Woman acquitted of illegal poop use

A former Democratic Party activist who left dog feces on the doorstep of U.S. Rep. Marilyn Musgrave's Greeley office during last year's 4th Congressional District campaign was found not guilty Wednesday of criminal use of a noxious substance.

A Weld County jury deliberated about two hours before acquitting Kathleen Ensz of the misdemeanor count. Her trial began Tuesday.

Ensz's lawyers never denied that their client left a Musgrave campaign brochure full of feces at the front door of the congresswoman's office. But they argued that Ensz was making a statement protected by free speech - the poop was a symbol of what she thought of Musgrave's politics.

"Her only intention of going over there was to make a political statement that Marilyn Musgrave's politics stink," attorney Shannon D. Lyons said after the verdict.

Just too funny really.

Funny that the case made it through the court, and funny that the jury apparently bought the argument that it was all in good old free-speech.

So you are saying she just regurgitated it?

Moral or economic?
