100. So you're fine with incitations to violence and slander on public radio

Mar 2012

and on AFR. Just so I'm clear, once again you think that there are no limits to the 1st amendment and you believe that the first amendment gives anyone the right to say whatever the hell they please on public radio. Gotcha chief. Really intelligent position you have there. And your bullshit contention that the decision should remain with the intended audience is absolutely laughable. This "intended audience" you're referring to is the "free market". If the "free market" had its say, Limbaugh would have been off the radio years ago. Limbaugh isn't on the air because he makes a profit, he's on the air because he's a very effective propagandist. But then again, I'm sure you'd have absolutely zero issue with Goebbels getting his own show on AFR. Hey, the soldiers should have that choice, right? Pathetic.
