    Because she made Perez Hilton look like the idiot he is. That and she's not what liberals think celebrities should be.

    What persecution? Raking in the bucks by going on the right wing talk shows? Being allowed to stay in the USA pagaent despite having exclusionary pictures surface? What's the persecution?

    How are her Constitutional rights being violated? The Constitution only restrains the federal government. What is the federal government doing to her?

    Freedom of speech also entails criticism (or it wouldn't bee freedom of speech). I agree with her and apparently so does Obama but you can't strip people of their own right to criticise whether you like their opinions or not.

    people saying bad things about her?

    that's the way the world works, unless you want to make it against the law to make fun of someone...

    Good question, both her and President Obama share the same views on traditional marriage but I don't see Perez Hilton and the media jumping his @$$ about the issue.

    She isn't. She is free to speak her mind...as are those that disagree.
