The University of Montana’s J-school has put together a fascinating project on people who were jailed for speaking their minds during WWI.
The man pictured above was sentenced to one to three years in prison for saying, “To hell with the United States government; **** on them; I don’t give a **** for them, I’m a Wobbly.”
A member of the Industrial Workers of the World - a union with socialist ties - was dubbed a Wobbly.

It is interesting to note that government censorship during war time is nothing new to the Bush administration. People act and talk about it like it’s never happened before. Bush is no worse (or better) than the war leaders who went before him.
