| So what is Liberal view of free speech? If someone says something you don't like get him off the air? |

Nobody's asking the government to censor him. People are talking about boycotting and reducing revenues. Conservatives should love that. The power of a free market. |

Exactly. There is no Free Speech or First Amendment issue here. No one is talking about the government stepping in taking away his right to speak or muzzling this as "Hate Speech." This is pure economic sanctions -- the power of the purse wielded by individuals, not the government. Why don't you look up Free Speech? |

| Thanks OP. I've always ordered from ProFlowers and was about to do so again at the end of the month. They've lost my business and now it's going to be Teleflora or Callyx and Corolla from now on. |

He can speak all he wants. Any day. Nobody is taking that away from him. What part of the First Amendment do you think requires us to help pay his salary by buying his sponsors' products? Is that the conservative form of welfare? |

| Heh heh. Something must have rattled him. He actually issued a half-assed apology. |

Carbonite has now pulled its advertising. Carbonite's statement acknowledged Rush's apology, but pulled advertising anyway.

He can say whatever he likes from the nearest public corner. He is not owed a nice fat paycheck broadcasting his views far and wide. |

| This will only work if the radio stations start to drop him. Could happen. |

| AOL pulled out today. I'm sure someone is going to try to blame Arianna Huffington for that. |

But Clear Channel is standing by him. Gross.
