OK, someone please try to explain this to me.
OK, Don Imus made a stupid comment, and some people (many of whom did not even hear the comment) found it offensive. So Al Sharpton throws his weight around, threatens a few boycotts, and next thing you know Don Imus is fired.
Yet, whenever I say that I am offended by a certain group, say NAMBLA (a group promoting homosexual pedophilia) , and I wish for them to be shut down, I get attacked for violating free speech. Even though many NAMBLA members have been arrested for sex crimes:

It is still “violating their free speech” to try and shut them down. Yet, Don Imus committed NO crime, and was fired.
Is racism a worse crime in our society than child molestation?
