4. No one is trying to take away his free speech.
Instead those of us who find Savage's remarks offensive are exercising our own free speech by telling Savage's sponsors that we will not buy their products as long as they choose to provide financial support to Savage.

Sponsors are free to continue to advertise, stations are free to continue to carry his show, and those of us living with autism every day are free to expose Savage for the despicable hate monger that he is; and we are free to speak with our pocketbooks as well, by not patronizing businesses who sponsor him.

Free speech does NOT mean that everyone should just shut up and take it when this sort of garbage is spewed over the public airwaves.
