Free Speech For Me But Not For Thee

John Mellencamp shares his views on free speech:
“I don’t think people fought and gave their lives so that some guy can sit in his bedroom and be mean. I don’t think that’s what freedom of speech is,”
He seems to view the not being mean rule as not applying to himself. For example at John Kerry fundraiser he referred to George Bush as "just another cheap thug" and a "Texas Bambino" in a song he had specially composed for the occasion.
