Are they really that far off their rocker, will this be forgiven and over looked like all of their other missteps? It was shocking today that while watching Fox and the various pundits discussing the horror of Oprah campaigning with Obama, one of them stated something to the effect of ~’She is lucky that she is on the PUBLIC airways, and able to take a position.’ Not the exact quote and I really don’t know the pundit’s name. But Golly Gosh, are they for real? If you are on public TV you are not allowed an opinion?
What about free speech? The Dems worry so very much about the alleged infringements on our liberties by the “evil” Bush empire, maybe they ought to examine their back yard a little more carefully. It appears it is plagued with trolls and gremlins that are prepared to take away talk show host’s ability to express a view point they find contrary to their own.
Now that’s scary stuff and what we should be talking about this election season. For without this fundamental corner stone freedom, Free Speech, our nation falls short of its’ Founding Father’s goals.
Freedom of speech and the free exchange of ideas is the corner stone of our society. People who wish to squash others ability to express themselves in the political and cultural arenas have no right to govern our nation. And if these same people who wish to govern fail to speak out against misguided supporters that indicate squashing a person’s right to speak out, equally should be barred from governing our nation.
