My question for anyone who says "if you want war, why aren't you in the military" is "if you don't want war, why aren't YOU a human shield?"

The blank looks on their faces as they struggle for a comeback is priceless.

That being said, if "jagger" is such a proponent of free speech, why wouldn't he put on, for example, Daryl Worley's "Have you forgotten"? Sure, it's country, but isn't clear Channel violating Daryl's free speech by not playing country music?

Obviously, the answer is "no," but it's just another example of how the left always says "free speech for me, not for thee."

ClearChannel is a communications corporation that owns hundreds of radio stations of all sorts. For example, they own WSSL and WESC here in Greenville, SC, which are both country stations. ClearChannel has several divisions, of which ClearChannel Radio is just one.

I don't know who controls playlists, but I know they work with record labels and others regarding promotions. The company I work for creates promotional and image products (everything from screenprinted T's & embroidered garments to pens and keychains) and the local radio stations are among our clients.

If it makes you feel better, the shirt I designed for the local New Faces Concert (sponsored by the local ClearChannel country station, which approved and paid for the shirts), I did in a red, white and blue theme with the American Flag running thru the lettering ;^)

So we all do our part.

Oh!, fabulous answer! The simplest things are the most profound. Thanks, I'm going to be using this one.
