 disenchantedcitizen says: More importantly, they devoted their June 11 show to transgender issues and exposed their drive-time audience to transgender people, and their families and issues--providing a rare educational moment on shock-jock radio. What Williams and States did was a clear abuse of the right to free speech and thankfully a large number of people get it. Sure they have the right to their say but their sponsors need to understand that when their money affords the platform for spreading this cesspool of hate they too are tainted by it. Just because there is a law that doesn’t prohibit hate speech doesn’t mean you should participate in it. If it is bigoted to be anti-transgendered, then isn't it bigoted to be anti-anti-transgendered? Isn't hate a two-way street. I'm not anti-either. I am pro free speech and I am really bothered by those who are bigoted against those who practice free speech. Just think out loud. It's kind of like watching sausage being made. It doesn't look appealing but the results are scrump-diddely-uptious. Just think out loud.I mean...I'm just thinking out loud. Your ‘protracted’ logic amuses me. Thanks for sharing. I also am bothered by those who, as you say, are bigoted against those who practice free speech. But, you knew the but was coming, being how ‘hate’ speech is a form of oppression which many people find distasteful, a moral society will always react by condemning it. These guys have the same right to call these people ‘idiots’ and ‘freaks’ as you do to call ‘leftists’ idiots. That is not what is in dispute. Corporations who help pay for these insensitive talk show hosts to air their hate speech become tainted by endorsing it. I applaud any corporation who is morally outraged by their speech and has the good common sense to pull their fun... People who label other people ‘idiots’ and ‘morons’ because they don’t think or believe as they do are oppressive bores. Your use of the term bigot in this instance (those who are bigoted against those who practice free speech) is misplaced. Neither I nor the many who aired their outrage against these guys’ hate-speech are ‘bigoted’ against these guys, we simply do not care for the way in which they use the public airways to oppress other people’s choice of lifestyle. True, all we have to do is turn the dial and not listen to them. But, why is it so important that they express their obvious disgust for these peoples choice in lifestyle? I think Williams and States see transgenders choice as... People who label other people ‘idiots’ and ‘morons’ because they don’t think or believe as they do are oppressive bores.I agree 100 percent. On the other hand, people who label other people ‘idiots’ and ‘morons’ because other people ARE idiots and morons, are honest and sincere. Willie, like most Conservatives don't understand the basic premise of free speech (or the different types of speech). You can say whatever you want, that means I can also answer as well. It is not a permit for one side to speak while everybody else keeps their mouth shut. Also this is something that the advertisers are paying for. In a CAPITALIST society, the person who has the money decides where to invest it. So too can they decide where NOT to invest it. Why should they throw good money after these swine?

You are a POS, Ratshit, and you know it. You are a seriously disturbed troll. By the way, ratshit, is there anyone on the Right who you engage in intellectually? Are you friends with any right wing clippers in other forums? Hmmmm? Trolls love to remain anonymous. I'm not, ratshit. I have discusssions with many of your very own left leaning clippers in other forums. They don't seem to think I am a troll. I ask again...who do you engage? By the way clippers. I'm starting a new Clog about Ratshit's comments. Check it out sometime. |
