Matthews had to apologize to Hillary last month, now this suspension. Yet the olberidiot is still on the air and he calls President Bush a Nazi, a liar, and all other kinds of sick comments every night. Clearly, if you trash a republican, a Christian, or a troop, that is just fine with MSNBC, but mention a Clinton and you are toast.

I don't know how Olberman gets away with his hate speech every night. They love him so much at MSNBC that he usually gets to anchor election coverage for hours.

All the vile words they have called our President in the past 8 years and that is OK.

It was an ignorant comment by a liberal imbecile.

Actually, the Founders only considered political speech to be covered by the “freedom of speech” phraseology. The Founders never meant to cover just any speech at all. In fact, every single colony had speech codes and it has only been in the 20th century that “freedom of speech” was enlarged to cover all speech.

Originally, the Founders wanted to cover political speech so that we would have a free and open democracy that is controlled by the people and one where the government could not clamp down on the open expression of new political parties, groups, and advocates.

And, the Constitution was already ratified by the states way before the Amendments (including the Bill of Rights) was instituted. Many states said they ratified contingent upon the Bill of Rights being added later. But, it was still ratified, nonetheless. So, conceivably, we could have had the Constitution without the Bill of Rights ever coming about. After all, it was already done.

Well, it was kind of vulgar for him to use that term. But I think we all know that if he’d said it about a Republican candidate’s daughter it wouldn’t have earned a suspension. And we also all know that Hillary jumped on it because it allows her to once again ratchet up the women’s vote by being a victim.

Agree completely. Besides that, this was also a shot across the media's bow to remind the MSM who's boss. There's a chance it might ultimately backfire if the journos begin to resent chafing on her leash, but for now she has them cowed.

Thanks, MV.

So is Paula Jones and Jennifer Flowers.

And let’s not forget that Vince Foster was someone’s son.
