43. Not all things are considered protected under the first amendment
There are thankfully very few exceptions, but there are exceptions.

I for one don't think anyone like Rush or Hannity should be censored, both because I am against censorship, but also because if they want to spew hatespeech, that is their right. I do, however, think we need to stop giving them such a good platform, treating them as experts, and not calling them out on it more.
