As much as I hate Kieth Olbermann, this is ridiculous. We are quickly heading down the road where no one will be able to speak about anything anywhere as long as someone somewhere is mildly bothered. Americans are an inventive, experimental people; we are seemingly in the process of creating Stalinist-style censorship based on consensus and social preferences. God help us.
I’m not for censorship at all, so don’t get me wrong.
But, if Imus was fired and this was supposedly Olbermann’s Imus moment, then to keep a balance, Olbermann would have to be fired, right?
Should liberals (if they hold others to a certain standard on things (whatever it may be)) have to be held to what they hold others to?
