I have no problem with writing letters of disagreement to the papers, and if they get enough they might start thinking about getting rid of the offending material. No problem there, knock yourself out. I've done it a few times myself, and it's refreshing.

But, if a coordinated effort is made, and succeeds in bumping somebody off, then how are we better than the Islamists who had that guy thrown off WMAL?

I'm not concerned that morons might read Buchanan and believe I think that way. They already believe that anyway.

Because it should be judged on the substance. There is nothing wrong in the abstract with complaining and getting someone bumped. If it's in your interests, you're free to go for it. It's a free market. I'm not saying no one should be allowed to publish him. I'm saying conservative publications should be convinced that they are not serving the cause by publishing him, and that we'd be happier with them if they didn't. We're better than the Islamists because the cause we advocate is just and theirs is not.
