Freedom of Speech

...And another thing for those people saying "it's freedom of speech" Go to you local mall or grocery store and call every woman you see a stupid bitch and watch what happens to you when you say I have the freedom to say what I want.

Oh is this another imus thing? Well maybe it should be about a company being able to fire someone if they please.

Your rights end at the exact spot where they affect another person's rights to life, liberty, or property.

It could be argued that a verbal assault on an individual is limiting of their personal liberty, and therefore should be hampered.

I love how everyone is rubbing up on Sharpton and Jacksons nuts on this issue.
Sharpton and Jackson are simple character assassins, sure Imus gave them ammunition but what Sharpton and Jackson do is fucking criminal.

Almost. Actually, your rights end at the private property line. A mall is private property and believe it or not, you do not have the right to freedom of speech on private property. Within an establishment, you must obey their rules.

You can however stand on a corner and do that stuff all you want (of course within the limits of the laws on obscene or threatening language).

That is why folks like Fred Phelps can stand at funerals and yell at the folks there that their son died because god hates fags, etc.

No chocolate love for Splummy from every right-wingers favourite power niggette:

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, the highest-ranking black woman in government history, said the racist, sexist comments that got radio shock jock Don Imus fired were "disgusting."

In her first public remarks on the controversy, Rice said Friday that Imus had insulted not only female athletes but all young black women by referring to the Rutgers women's basketball team as "nappy headed hos."

"They're 18- and 19-year-old women," she said. "And what were they doing except showing that they're really fine athletes, playing under extraordinary pressure in which for them was a dream season.

"And it gets ruined by this disgusting -- and I'll use the word 'disgusting' -- comment which doesn't belong in any polite company and certainly doesn't belong on any radio station that I would listen to," Rice told talk show host Michael Medved.

"I just thought that it was an attack on women's sports, first of all, and secondly an attack on very accomplished young black women in a way that was really offensive," she said, according to a transcript of the interview released by the State Department.

Rice declined to offer an opinion on Imus's firing but said she was "very glad that there was, in fact, a consequence" for the remarks.

LOL you are comparing some asshole walking around a mall calling people names to a "shock jock" on radio...a guy who gets paid to entertain making fun of some nappy headed hoes?

[Linkster]

And yet it never works the opposite way for some reason????

hahah she gives it back as well as she gets , good for her. I hate fucking political correctness. After all these are war of words. What I dont understand is what people get all upset when someone on the radio says this , where as there are millions of videos where black chicks shakin their cellulite filled butts on music videos ???

All in all people should take in some chill pill. I am not saying imus was right , but I dont agree with the fact, these fuckers are making a big drama out of it.

Ha.. more of that twisted Splum logic....

If you don't agree with being able to say anything you want about anybody on public airwaves, then you are for Sharpton and Jackson..

Well.. I don't agree with throwing out slurs or not being a bit responsible with speech, no matter the platform... and.. I have no use for the Sharpton/Jackson pair of hypocrites..

I bet that really has you confused..
