I Cant Believe I'm Writing This, But: "In Defense of Phil Robertson"

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

A&E is a private institution that caters to the public, so it is well within their rational best interests to suspend him. This is not a violation of free speech at all. I applaud them for defending their rights as a private entity for suspending him, in fact.

Where was the outrage and sympathy for Martin Bashir he had "freedom of speech"

That was him using his right to free speech in the form of a vulgar threat. And he got fired for it. Every action has a reaction.

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

As a side note: Where were the right-wingers, who apparently now value "free speech", when the Dixie Chicks' musical careers were derailed in 2003?

Rhetorical Question...

I was an eight year old who thought their comment was stupid and that radio stations had a right to decide if they want to defend them or throw them out the window.

As for the rest of the right wing, who cares? Do you really find Sarah Palin's opinion relevant?
