I love Jonah's writing but in this case, he took the cowardly way out. He should have stood by free speech like the left does. He could have disassociated himself from those remarks in Ann's column and that would have been the end of it.

I totally agree. Jonah, ran like a whipped dog after the fact. Who did the whipping, I wonder?

There seems to be some confusion as to the meaning of free speech. It does not include the provision of a forum by a private organisation, or a government forum for that matter. It means you can say what you wish and you take the consequences that result.

Goldberg is a jew (I think) and the logical conclusion of her proposal if implemented would be to force jews among others to be converted to Christianity. It was a bizzare remark and he chose to fire her for it. His call.
