God, if I hear one more leftist pundit state that airing of a particular group (in this case the AlJazeer Chix) or a program (ala Martin "I really am the president" Sheen) represents free speech (that is, the opposite of censorship) I am going to smack someone right in the mouth!
Free speech is a compact between the GOVERNMENT and INDIVIDUALS! No citizen can constitutionally "censor" another. Playlists on radio stations, editoral content boards on newspapers, NOT buying CDs or watching a TV program are CAPITALISM at work. Free speech has nothing to do with it. No governmental agency is attempting to supress anyone's right to exprss their opinion, no matter how immature, misinformed or wrongheaded.
If the idiot left is going to cite a "right" they at least should understand what a "right" IS.
SHEEZE!

Thir misuse of the word "censorship", deliberately done so as to provoke a strong emotional response, is yet another consequence of our loss of the language to the propaganda masters of the Left.

Well, I look at it this way; the Chixs are entitled to their opinion and nobody is stopping them, but their audience is also entitled to an opinion. When they opened their mouths they were spitting in the wind. Celebs should stay out of politics unless they intend to give up their entertainment careers.

The Idiot left thinks that a "Right" is anything that they want to do while at the same time denying you that same "Right". This is why I advocate and practice an "In your face" confrontation to every one of these assholes I meet.
The more we do that the faster they will shut their pie holes.
