27. the ones who are not lying racist sexist America-hating scumbags
I fully support the 1st Amendment, and that it applies to all, even people who suck. However, no employer should allow their employees to outright lie about stuff. If Imus and Rush and others want to claim they are just comedians (all while they condemn entertainers for having public political stances... :eyes: ), then they should stick to the comedy circuit and bill their shows that way.

I find it ironic that the true comedians - Stewart, Colbert for instance - came up through comedy and when they went political still managed to tell the truth in a funny way. Then there is the opposite path - Coulter, Limbaugh - who started off in politics then went "funny" to grind some axes.

Say what you want to say, believe what you want to believe, but don't try to pass off a turd as a snickers bar. And if you do and get fired, don't cry about it.
