You seem to be calling the protagonist of the article an idiot. If you are, please elaborate... your position is definitely in the minority here.

That's because he is. He is expecting respect for the Constitution from a socialist radio network. He is expecting the staff of a "public radio" station to respect his financial support when the usual liberal mentality is to feel entitled to it. He is expecting respect for his unalienable right of free speech at the hands of NPR when his message is contrary to the staff agenda.

Liberals don't care a whit for such things and never have. The good doctor is irrationally projecting his sensibilities on a claque of fascists. He is probably a liberal RINO or "moderate" democrat who can't recognize the natrual progression of policies he has supported and is surprised when they are realized. He should know better and so should you.

Testy, aren't we?

I don't see anything to warrant your assessment of this dentist as a liberal RINO or democrat in the article or any other account I've read. In fact, he doesn't seem very supportive of a major democratic constituency (homosexuals) as evidenced by his disgust that they can get their message out while he can't. He is simply a dentist who tried to advertise on a local station and was censored. He didn't try to advertise to make a political point, he tried to help his business. NPR made it a political issue. I have a great distrust of people who can't see beyond politics, you find such ideologues predominantly in communist and fascist regimes. Although I agree with your opinion of the left, your criticism of a good American is completely off base.
