One of America's freedoms is the right of its citizens to give his or her opinion without fear of reprisal - in this case the removal of an artist's music from the airwaves.

This is stupid. There is no such "right" of protection against economic retaliation for offensive statements.

Citizens boycott sponsors of offensive TV programs. The Leftists have tried to get advertisers to drop conservative talk shows. This is completely within their rights as citizens to strenuously object to what someone says in the exercise of his own right of free speech.

WTCR's careless misconstrual of the rights contained in our First Amendment is un-American trash.

Because, like I said, CC has goons at all levels of management that monitor its employees' email interactions with listeners. I don't want to do anything that would put the poor guy at even a 1% chance of getting in trouble.

Oh, look, the Mods have just ghettoized this thread. But did they ghettoize the original? Hell no! no favoratism on FR!
