"America's heart and soul is freedom of expression without fear of reprisal," she said in a statement.
Al Gore tried to claim the same loony thing when it was the Dixie Chicks. Apparently, the 1st Amendment guarantees entertainers full access to consumer's wallets.

Deconstructing Whoopi If that involves touching her - in any way - I'll pass...
To: jmstein7
I guess Whoopi's mother told her she has to be responsible for her actions. I personally didn't threaten Slim Fast. I did tell them I would no longer buy their products because Whoopi and her obnoxius statements were associated with Slim Fast. I have a right to express my opinions to Slim Fast-Free Speech and all.

I can guarantee Mr. Khalif that if lilly-white Michael Moore had delivered those remarks, the reaction would have been identical. Michael Moore a spokesman for slim-fast!!!!???
Maybe as the before

I meant to say that Whoopis mother NEVER told her she was responsible for her own actions. Sorry for the left out word.

Whoopie represents the classic case of the non-thinking person. Head and mouth disease.

Moore could definitely use Slim-Fast, but he's more of a spokesman for Gravy... the other white meat condiment...

Someone should point out to Ms. Goldberg that the First Amendment only protects her from government reprisal; it does not insulate her from the ire of ordinary Americans who she might have actually insulted with her remarks. hear, hear!!!!!!!!!!! great job!
Take note star power: ordinary citizens have rights too. And we are fed up to HERE with your condescending BS.

getting dropped from slim fast should be the least of her worries, grow some eyebrows!
To: jmstein7
To Whoopi and other lefties: Did you speak out when the gay extremenists successfully had sponsors pull out of Dr Laura's TV show??? Did you speak out when movie studios would not touch "The Passion"???

"
Perhaps Mr. Khalif glossed over the fact that people found the content of the remarks objectionable, not the person delivering them."
I, for one, found both the remarks, and the person who stated them, objectionable.
In fact, I think the entire Democrat Party is objectionable, and more likely pornographic.
A good reason to make them have a XXX warning declared, and shown before any of them speak in public.

Slim-Fast is owned by a Democrat. She was fired by a Democrat.

Slim-fast is not censoring Whoopie. Slim-fast is not infringing on Whoopie's First Amendment rights. Whoopie is free and clear to say whatever she wants.
Slim-fast has the right to determine, however, the qualities and qualifications of spokesperson(s) for the company. They determined Goldberg is no longer qualified to represent them. That is fully their right.

This is a very good essay on the 1st amendment. Publish it far and wide.
