But there is also a difference between slander and giving one's opinion, which talk radio hosts do 90% of the time while on the air.
Again, why hasn't Nina Totenberg, Julianne Malveaux, Michael Moore and most of MoveOn.org been taken off the airwaves for calling for the deaths of some Republicans?
Because of our freedom of speech in America. If you don't like what some people have to say, change the channel. But getting people fired because of the complaint of a group that has sympathized with terrorists, shows a complete misdirection of priorities.

What about Ann Coulter with her famous "My only regret with Timothy McVeigh is he did not go to the New York Times Building." quote, why is she allowed to still print books?

"If you don't like what some people have to say, change the channel."

I agree 100%

"But getting people fired because of the complaint of a group that has sympathized with terrorists, shows a complete misdirection of priorities."

Couldn't agree more, however if that's their perogative they can pressure his employer to fire him, and his employer is well within its rights to take whatever action they deem fit. This is not a free speech issue.
