How is this a free speech issue? If any Freepers owned a TV station would they let someone go on it and promote Jihad and Shariah?
“If any Freepers owned a TV station would they let someone go on it and promote Jihad and Shariah?”
Probably not.
However, Phil Robertson didn’t express his views on A&E. Neither did express views that could be interpreted as advocating any physical harm to homosexuals or any other “sinner”, nor did he in any way promote the idea that his Christian beliefs be forced upon all nonbelievers?
Therefore, your analogy doesn’t seem to work.
