Matt Margolis and his brother, Aaron, have felt the full force of the freedom of speech in this country. It’s free if you agree, dear friends:

Two Bush supporters, twin brothers Matt and Aaron Margolis, traded blows at the corner of Arlington and Boylston streets with several men who they said were union members.

The fight started after a man wearing an Ironworkers Local 7 sweatshirt, perched atop a subway entrance, repeatedly taunted the brothers.

“They told us to get out of here or we’d get beaten up,” said Matt Margolis, 24, of Beverly.

“I said, ‘I support your freedom of speech – please support mine. Come on down and we can have a conversation.’

“He jumped down and swung on my brother. Then they all jumped in and tore our signs apart.”

I’m not one for calling kettles black. I find “free speech zones” an affront to my sensibilities as a denizen of this nation, but at least we don’t have policemen jumping on anti-Bush protesters and tearing their signs up. They just get escorted elsewhere. (Which I think still sucks.)
