Criticizing campaign threatens 1st Amendment?

[The Bofa on the Sofa]

So now Palin is whining that the media has the audacity to call her campaigning negative. Such criticism threatens First Amendment rights, she says!

I agree. I think it should be illegal for the media to criticize politicians. We should make a law that stops the media from saying bad things about politicians in their campaigns.

Who does the press think they are? Do they just think they have the freedom to say whatever they want or something? Where'd they ever get that idea?

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Well, I guess it doesn't say that the VP can't muzzle the press, only that Congress can't. So carrying on in the tradition of VP Cheney, she's going to propose that the VP becomes the national censor and arbiter of acceptible limits on the press.
