C'mon, the libturds have taught us that ANYONE who doesn't like Obama is a racist.
P.S. The thread has gone off topic, huh? Is this your first visit to Brown Cafe?

For any of those decrying freedom of speech here, I went to the search bar to find your posts of support for Martin Bashir getting canned for his comments and they seem to have all disappeared. Why is that? Oh wait, because those that are upset about a PRIVATE company deciding that they didn't want this guy to be the image they portrayed likely had no problem with Bashir being fired for basically the exact same premise. Funny how that works.
Unless the man was arrested for his words, his rights have not been infringed upon.

It's just that Martin Bashir isn't worth the use of any letters in the alphabet.....that's why you found nothing!!

Not even close to the same situation. Bashir made an unprompted vulgar personal attack again Palin. Robertson answered a question during an interview and did not attack any individuals, just said that he believed homosexuality was wrong (hate the sin but love the sinner). It isn't a first amendment issue but is a case of many people disgusted with the actions of A&E in handling the situation.

So now we are categorizing free speech. Personally, I couldn't give a damn less what the guy says, because the words of a two bit, fake reality show celebrity doesn't effect me, but then, neither does the network doing what they have the right to do by getting rid of him. I would imagine there was likely something in his contract that would allow this, anyway. Bashir gave his opinion while doing a political show, no different than tons of other political pundits, like Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, Rachel Maddow, etc. MSNBC had every right to get rid of him the same way A&E had a right to get rid of Robertson. Like I said, people are all fine and dandy with freedom of speech, so long as they agree with the words being said.

To defecate into Palin's mouth is an opinion????? OK, if you say so.

Well, unless you are trying to say it's a fact, then yes, it is. Doesn't mean you or I have to agree with it. Phil Robertson saying that blacks were happy under Jim Crow laws is an opinion also. He also compared Shintoism to Nazism. That would also be an opinion. Are you having difficulties with the definition of opinion, luck? If so, let me help ya out.

I actually watch MSNBC more than any other news network.
Especially since ATT dropped al jazeera.

I actually thought Al Jazeera America was a decent network. But i'm a terrorist for thinking that way by some of my crazy friends.

It is more fair and balanced than any other US news network.

Any other US network? Since when was Al Jazeera a US network?
