It's ok for Beck to say "no signs", but let someone else say it and it's censorship!!

A sign ban at an opponent’s town hall is a major threat to freedom of speech; a sign ban at a Beck rally is an important rule in order to keep the event on message.

3. It was DEFINITELY to prevent national laughter!
And I'm glad there were no signs.
We'd be spending the next month chuckling about them.
And that has gotten old...

2. What's the point of having signs if the attendees can't read?
Beck may have a point.:rofl:
