447. How would I feel? I support free speech. Period.

And ftr I was at the event in SF and it was a 960 Green event. She was introduced as "radio personality" Randi Rhodes. It was a private event, tickets limited and a cover charge for 960 Green. It was off-air standup.
The Clintons' attempt to crush dissent is fascism any way you slice it. I would be upset if someone DIDN'T strongly react to Ferraro's (and other ClintonCo people) disturbingly racist/race-baiting remarks, but damn if I don't support her right to say whatever the hell she wants.
Free speech is a basic tenet of democracy. It's what separates us from the animals. It's the rudder in the treacherous waters the U.S. is currently navigating. And I would never put my name to a petition to have someone fired simply because they said something I don't like. I hope that answers your question.
