93. this is a case where the "right" is right
"The problem is once you remove someone from the air according to his/her views it opens it to everyone to remove someone based on his/her views"

That's what freedom is about.

Kerry's saying they have the right to do this is what he should say. Why is it an issue one way or the other?

I don't give him any particular props for saying it. It's an easy safe thing to say. Common sense.

What in the hell is this country coming to though, where things like this need to be said and where some on the left (and I'm definitely on the left) think there is something wrong with a station taking someone off the air? There can be a totalitarianism of the "right" or the "left".

The problem is when a monopoly exists because then if someone gets taken off the air they have no voice. No monopoly, no problem.

something like that
