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?

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.

Again I've got to disagree with you. Yeah, he's a wack job, but when he hits the ball, he hits it way out of the ballpark.

Forgive me if I give anyone offense, but first putting arguments of divine inspiration aside, I'd bet my last shekel that prophets such as Isaiah, Jeremiah, Elijah and John the Bapist would all have seemed pretty wacky if their stories weren't probably cleaned up by later exegetes.
