Political Expression

I assume by now you've heard the story about Barry M. Seltzer. "Charged with assault for allegedly aiming his car at Rep. Katherine Harris and supporters", he claimed that it was not a crime since he was "exercising political expression". By that logic, some other crimes might also have to be reclassified as "political expression", like:

• Boothe's "political expression" against Lincoln
  
  
• Harris and Klebold's "political expressions" at Columbine
  
  
• Three thugs' "political expression" against James Byrd Jr
  
  
• Terrorists' 9/11 "political expression"
  
  
• The "political expression" against the Jews during Kristallnacht

Seltzer better not get away with it...
