example: certain hosts from (hot) AirAmerica want the plug pulled on Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Michael Medved, Michael Savage and many other conservative talk radio host.
Colleges like Columbia, NYU shun the Minute Men but welcome Hugo Chavez and the Iranian dwarf leader.

The good old liberal double standard strikes again.

Do they want the plug pulled because of their opinions, or because they have no professional or ethical standards in terms of checking basic facts before spewing the bile that they call their opinions?
The list of people constantly make statements, as fact, that can be objectively and demonstrably proven to be wrong. Trash like that lowers the level of value in what are supposed to be news outlets. That hurts society and democracy. More than anything, they don't want them shut up as much as held to minimal standards of professionalism.

Woa, now wait a minute. Have you ever seen anyone interviewed on Fox News that Fox has a difference of opinion with? They don't get to speak. They get talked over, interrupted and made fun of on public tv. You think that is freedom of speech? You honestly think that in that respect republicans are
better than democrats? I'm sorry, but that's just not true.

I guess they could just have a Rush Limbaugh rebuttal show every day. That could be pretty entertaining. Play his wind bag comments, then explain where he is completely off the wall. I might even listen to that.

I personally believe that media directed at our troops should be balanced, or not political at all. If those entertainers say something false, anyone should be able to call them on it.
It isn't violating your free speech to prove you wrong. Maybe conservatives think we don't tolerate opposing views because we are so good at embarrassing them by proving them wrong all the time.

I don't care who talks on the radio, left or right. POLITICS ON THE RADIO IS BORING. If I want to know something, I research it myself, I don't take anyone's word for it.

You need to consider that there is a difference between having the freedom to speak, and the lack of freedom to be heard. No true liberal would claim that Rush should not be able to speak, but that does not mean they have to agree with what he says. Ditto for your other examples.

Because they think that only theirs should be free not anyone else. Want proof, try typing out that "N" word then type out "cracker or white trash".

That's exactly the kid of bull **** that people like Beck, Hannity and the rest want you to believe.

So because a few liberals want conservative commmentators pulled, you get to judge all of them as against free speech? Grow up.
If you could explain what you're talking about with the minute men, I'd respond to it.
Yes...point?

Not this "Lib".
I say let them speak.
The more idiots like Beck, Limbaugh and Hannity speak, the more it becomes evident just what morons the Republican Party entertains.
