They claim to want present diverse views. If I said any of the things about the Commander in Chief that Rush does on a daily basis I would have been severely disciplined.

The National Vanguard white supremacist group also has a radio show; will AFN start feeding that to the troops? If not, then they need to be asked why only *some* hate speech is allowed.

When I was stationed in Germany, we all knew that AFN was biased a certain way. We used to listen to Radio Moscow on shortwave, and knew that they were biased in the other direction. We figured that the truth was somewhere in between. But we *never* heard the type of hate that is allowed to be spewed on AFN by Rush Limbaugh.
