Freedom of Speech? Pretty important right, don't you think!

I certainly hope the Silent Majority speaks up on this one and all the others that are sure to be coming...
My other thought is that the American people and our media and thereby elections are just pawns in a battle for power between billionares Soros vs. Murdoch. After all, this is the first time Soros has actually experienced a concerted opposition to his efforts.

Look at this from 2001:

Oh Yeah! This may actually turn out to be a blessing in disguise. Let it all come out in the open. I think a huge BackLash has already begun. And Williams will do just fine, personally. Probably a boost for him too.

The Irony is incredible, Juan a Liberal gets fired from a government funded network that claims to be unbiased, but still has a job at Fox who is accused of being the biased ones.

Yes. And we end up being forced to pick the "best of the worst." This is crazy.

That is why Juan got fired........He admitted "what everyone else is thinking" that when he gets on a plane and there are people dressed in obvious Muslim garb he gets a little nervous.
