So true.
We have a few talk radio stations up here, and usually when people strongly disagree with what's being said they phone in and do so rather than call for someone's head on the chopping block.
However, if the guy was just voicing criticism that's one thing, but spewing hate shouldn't be lumped in with "free speech" nor tolerated on any foruim.
People are again starting to realize that if you turn your back on censorship it tends to grow and creep up on you. It is censorship itself that has to be censored and kept in check.
Good post Wanton. :D
