Capitol graffiti is vandalism

I was disgusted to hear reports from the anti-war protest in our nation's capital that First Amendment rights now extend to spray-painting anarchist graffiti on the Capitol building.

Are we to believe that these protests are truly patriotic? Nothing about defacing the nation's Capitol building is patriotic. It is not free speech; it is vandalism. Where is the outrage? Where are the media?
