Freedom of Speech & Howard Stern
How far will we let the extreme right wing push us?

Are you honestly willing to submit to censorship?

Would you really prefer censorship to just not watching things that offend you?

How do you feel about the FCC and fines being imposed on people who have complaints registered against them?

I wouldn't consider myself "far right" because I support many different views. I am not pro this pro that because my religion states I should be.

I listen to Howard Stern every morning on my commute. I think he is absolutely hillarious and is an amazing individual for what he did to get to where he is today. I think anyone who wants to ban Howard Stern, pornography, strip clubs...could be considered "too far to the right". I'm sure that 90% of most Republicans and conservatives don't really care about Howard Stern, porn, strip clubs, etc.

Kinda get my point?

I wish more people did tink like that. But I think more of the conservative right is concerned with 'protecting' thier children. And they seem to want the governement to provide this 'protection' through censorship, rather than making themselves responsible for good parenting.

The fact that we can see people being killed on television, yet we can't view the human body or curse tells me all I need to know about the hypocritical right wing establishment.

Don't like it? Shut up and watch something else.

That is exactly my point. How can someone tell me that two people making love is vulgar, but the slaughtering of GIs and Normandy is not.

I agree but I wouldn't put the blame on the right. It's not like the stance the right takes on abortion or capital punishment.

I put the blame squarely on the extreme religious right.
