This remembrance by you of Nina Totenburg's outrageous and unpunished comment is one of many that needs to be illuminated.
The Adrian Marveaux (sp?) wish that Mrs. Clarence Thomas should feed her husband foods that would shorten his life is another unpoliced, unpunished, even unadmonished by the Left.
The Right always tends to clean house (Trent Lott by us, Savage by THEM but with most of us agreeing with THEM) for questionable and unsavory comments.
Who on the Left has been removed by US and our actions agreed to by THEM? ZIP, right?
The Left seems inacapable of being embarrassed, but that is clearly not so the Right. I surmise that for us that is both good (ability to be embarrassed) and bad (not having the courage to fight it through to get a sincere Savage apology and stick by him to foster his good side.)
I'm sorry I've been absent for most of this controversy. Now I'm afraid almost nobody will react to my assessment which I think is an important one (perhaps not even you). If I'm wrong in my observation or unclear, I'd like to know what or how. Who will answer?

I don't see why Savage on the right or Malveaux and Totenberg on the left should be removed from the airways. Doesn't freedom of speech mean that people CAN say crude hurtful "hateful" things without being shut up? Niether Savage's, Malveaux's or Totenberg's statements were incitements to do physical harm. Short of that it should be anything goes.
