    Being broadcast on public television is a privilege, not a right.

    I guess he figures that being anti-black or anti-muslim wouln't have gotten him kicked off the air either.

    Why do the villans always play the victim card.

    politicians make open statements of hostility targeting their rivals useing gun language, then when that person gets shot, all of a sudden, they, not the shooting victim, are the real victims of the incident, rather then saying "maybe I should not have used that type of language, and for that, I am sorry, and reject this violent act."

    Gay teen suicide happens more frequently, drawing more attention to the issue, and people like maggie gallagher immediatly start spouting that their anti-gay hatebased rhetoric and spewage should not hold any blame, because gay teens are twice as likely to get pregnant or impregnant someone than heterosxual teans (still trying to figure that one out fatty gallagher!!!!)

    When will hate-filled idiots learn there are consequences for your words?

    Word. Since when does "Free speech" equal "free platform"? He has the right to say whatever the hell he wants, just like we have the right as consumers to ruin him financially for his ethical position. Serve bad food at your restaurant and no one will eat there. Record bad music and no one will buy it. Write a factually-incorrect book about "the gay agenda" and be cursed to the remainder tables for all eternity.

    Funding and sponsorships are a much more effective form of political action than voting ever was, as far as I'm concerned.

    Money talks and bullshit walks.

    The funny thing is, it was the Christian Television Channel that -removed- him from the air. Not the government/regulators. He now says he is suing the TV Channel.

    Yeah, that's not censorship, that's called, "Your show sucks."

    True that ^
    TV is about what people want to watch. If people aren't watching, you're done.
