Imus(t) confess.....

I've never been a Don Imus fan, too angry liberal for me, but you know what, I think that free speech applies to all sides of the political spectrum... Yes, we should allow him and Rosie and Al Franken to say stupid things, Just like the conservative media should be allowed to speak... I don't think CBS and MSNBC should have caved to a few protesters and fired Mr. Imus. If we let the free market (capitalism) handle it, we preserve free speech and don't create a climate of fear of being blacklisted... this fear is coming from the side of the aisle that claims to be against it... those who would say the red scare (communism blacklisting in Hollywood for example) was a bad thing are jumping on the bandwagon with this one. Let the audience decide if this is what they want to listen to... if not they will change the station and those who say the stupid things will be fired by the audience, not thugs. One more reason.... Do we think that stopping someone from sayin things that are inappropriate actually change the underlying problems? Of course they don't... at least if they feel free to say the things... we'll know where they stand.... and as I said the market will take care of them.
