[NOTES* from Leftish - are always in brackets]
“I don’t agree with a word you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.” ~ Voltaire
I agree, with Voltaire, Bill Maher and Cenk Uygur of TheYoungTurks.com on this!
If we start to further pick apart what is appropriate language and intent on Talk Radio, we will only further weaken the already greatly compromised definition of American “Free Speech”…
The Government does and should pay for contraception access for the very poorest women through programs like Medicaid, but It’s important to be clear that this policy is not about that. This is about insurance that women pay for through their own premiums, through their employers and their universities.”

What do you think?
I’m curious. I myself vote for Freedom of Speech, even, sadly, Hate Speech. If you start to try and decide what is acceptable…it becomes a very slippery slope. Who gets to decide what is “acceptable”?
I believe in truly FREE SPEECH, for EVERYONE, even if it means we have anti-gay picketers at Soldier’s Funerals…we also get to have Bill Maher and Jon Stewart speak their minds…imho Rush should not be fired…
What do you think?
Should Limbaugh be fired?
Regarding Rush Limbaugh…I very much agree with Voltaire here - hate speech should STILL be protected. The way to combat Hate Speech is to render it irrelevant, not to squash it. If they censor Rush, next they’ll want to censor Bill Maher, and Jon Stewart, and Stephen Colbert and all the other Liberal Comedians we know and love.
No, it is way better to Boycott Rush than to Censor Rush!
Boycott with our dollars and our listening choices…that’s the right way.
Truly!
LOLs!
And that contraception is something a woman has to pay for…EVERY time she has sex!”

“Rick, Rush, Mitt and Newt
How happy I would be if
You’d all be struck mute.”
