Rajvik Wrote:... the cast and crew have the right to address the VP in a respectful manner at an appropriate time, this was not that time or place. ...You have an interpretation of "freedom of speech" that does not match mine. Any time is appropriate, any public place or place controlled by the person making the statement is appropriate.
Without knowing what was said, I do not know whether the speech was "appropriate". Did somebody threaten the VP-elect or his family, or commit slander? If not, then the speech was appropriate and protected.
I've said this before (with the second half purposefully left unsaid), I'll probably need to say it again: It's easy to support freedom of speech when you agree with what's being said.
