So, what if at 9 a.m. everyday - seven days a week - 52 weeks a year - Opie and Anthony had a guest on to graphically describe sodomizing your wife, mother, daughter, etc.? Not just any one. YOUR loved one. Seven days a week. What’s your opinion on “free” speech? What if they took out a billboard in your community and printed the same for everyone to see on the way to work? What would your opinion be of free speech as your family honor is desecrated for the purpose of “entertainment”? Shrug your shoulders? Oh well? It’s their right?

I’m just curious if your idea of free speech only applies to people you don’t know...

Well first, anything if repeated often becomes unfunny. Second what you described is harassment.

Somewhere on a radio station someone is saying something that angers me. How can I find these people and how can I get them fired?

There are laws governing harassment, libel and defamation, but I don’t think that’s what you’re talking about. I do admire Condi Rice greatly. She showed great strength facing up to the Dems on the Foreign Relations Committee who tried to bully her around in the confirmation hearings. Condi is so far above O & A that I would indeed expect her to shrug it off.

To take a personal example, I live in Massachusetts and have become inured to the personal abuse showered upon me by people shocked to discover that a Republican is in their midst.
