I don't believe GW Bush is running for office anymore.
So no, I don't have any recent examples. 
You're not alone with your opinion. Most of the people I know who claim affiliation with the Republicans were disgusted and embarrassed (since Bush was representing their party). For that reaction I have to give them credit.
No "Free Speech" for "The Colonies".
You have a point here about the free press/advertising. I did not know who the fuck she was until this thread. I am not shittin' you... no fuckin' idea.

Upset? You can upset to your heart's content. You cannot promote genocide or publicly incite hatred for a particular group or individual.
Gonz, you quoted yourself (or paraphrased).
I think Bish was saying there are restrictions on free speech (just like there are here in the US).
Article 11 ...
"The free communication of ideas and opinions is one of the most precious of the rights of man. Every citizen may, accordingly, speak, write, and print with freedom, but shall be responsible for such abuses of this freedom as shall be defined by law."
Restrictions...
... when freedom of speech interferes or conflicts with other rights.
(Examples: hate speech, pornography and intentions to do harm.)
Some of what this Ann Coulter says is simply offensive and is allowable under Article 11, and some of it is considered "hate speech" and is not.

I find "redistribute the wealth" to be offensive. Who can we arrest?

As far as I know both sedition and unconstitutional are defined by law.
Everyone, study that carefully.

I agree with Gonz ... study that carefully, because it is our law and has been for some time.
What I actually said (that was omitted from the quote):

Study it and understand the nature of "free speech". You can not yell "fire" in a crowded theater if there is none.
