[quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]A couple of you here would have hated and despised George Carlin, Lenny Bruce, and Richard Pryor who could be totally irreverent.[/quote] Good examples. When Bruce and Carlin were arrested, do you think the Washington Post rushed to publish their unedited jokes in solidarity? Doubt it. If the network news had run unedited clips, they would have ended up with FCC fines. [/quote]Examples of what, exactly? Bruce and Carlin were arrested for obscenity (the obscene words in question seem almost quaint today), not for using media to make statements about political threats. Or, are you arguing that these different freedom of speech issues (obscenity, terrorist violence)!are on the same plane, and the Post should be in solidarity with them all? Did anybody get so offended they tried to kill Bruce or Carlin, or were they arrested for breaking actual laws on the books? [/quote]
