All day long its only hate speech, from Fox and Friends to Sean Hannity. From Michael Savage to Rush Limbaugh. All day long, hate speech. Its really baffling that people even listen to these quacks! I will never understand that.

"hate speech hate speech" ramma lamma ding dong.

Freedom of speech.

Here in the USA we should be responsible for our own actions, not the actions of some idiot who has one of our books in his living room.

He might have Stephen Colbert's book in his house too. Does that mean Colbert is responsible too? How about Judy Blume? Oh wait, there's Lady Diana's biography.

Mother of God, look at what these people have done!

Not the same thing.
Elvis never sang about killing cops or degrading women.

Have you actually listened to these people??? Especially Michael Savage because I don't think you truly understand the extremist nature of the things they say all day long. They are hate mongers. Pure and simple. Why do you think so many of his sponsors bailed on him recently? Its because of the outrageous, inflammatory, hateful rhetoric he uses on a daily basis. Maybe you should find out what your talking about before you do? Just a thought.

If it offends you so much, don't listen. Is someone holding a gun to your head?

Hate speech laws are just politically correct b.s. anyway.

No one is telling them to stop talking. But there is a derivative effect for all speech, or why bother talking at all! when Farakhan or the KKK or the Mullahs (sp?) or the anarchists speak, they are free to do so. When politicians speak they are free to do so. When the Pope and Rabbi and Queen and the Palestinean and Jew speak, they are free to do so. Just understand that they are all speaking to make their point, to try to persuade one to their way of thinking. Just do not act amazed or incredulous when occasionally they act on the speech.
