time will tell whose ideas have more merit. i dont agree with ann's assertions about 'what' to do, but i don't think national review should have fired her. it is a gutless and telling decision on their part to controversy. and its telling the liberals who were whining about cencorship as attempts to get maher's advertisers pulled were made are totally silent on this.

They didn't. You can't fire someone who doesn't work for you. They stopped carrying her syndicated column.

You're way off base. I heard very prominent conservatives, not liberals, defending Maher's free speech...(David Horowitz, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity etc.)....as they should.

Yes, you have the right to not watch or listen to them, but what gives you the right to take that away from them and us simply because YOU don't like it?

There are WAY too many people that would like to do just that to this forum, and beleive me if FreeReublic had advertisers there would be the same battle here.

Be careful what you wish for.
