I am a little torn…

Well…I was going to do the whole Rushwatch thing but I’m bored with it already….I will say that the advertisers that have left has reached 30 this morning and I can understand why…but then the question that immediately comes to mind is: “what took so long?” Ole rush has been doing this same type of nonsense for 20 years and it never bothered anyone before so why now? I think it may have to do with attacking a private citizen; not a public figure who should expect some vitriol at times…especially when they make statements that most people find abhorrent….but, that brings me to the reason why I’m a little torn with the happenings over the past week or so….that included the Rush nonsense along with the Patrica Heaton comments, and those made by Kirk Cameron bashing gays…being the huge supporter of a strict reading of the rights in the Constitution….I find it troubling that the speech of these folks is being subject to so much pressure in disregard of their first amendment rights. People have the right in the US to say outrageous things and to be stupid….and I do agree with the quote that is attributed to Voltaire but may be from other sources: I disagree with what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it…” Just some thoughts….
